The Milwaukee Brewers pulled one of the strangest double plays Monday night in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Dodgers slugger Max Muncy was at the plate in the top of the fourth inning with the bases loaded and one out. He hit a long drive to center field. Brewers center fielder Sal Frelick chased the ball, but it went out of his glove and hit the wall.

Frelick recovered and fired the ball into the box, and the defense was able to force Teoscar Hernández out. Will Smith misjudged the ball and never ran to third base, allowing catcher William Contreras to run to third base and get the final out of the inning.
Frelick was amazed. The Dodgers failed to get any runs in that inning.

However, offense was still limited for the Brewers. Milwaukee fell in order in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings.
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a home run in the top of the sixth to put Los Angeles up one run.
The Dodgers are looking to defend their World Series championship, which they won over the New York Yankees in 2024.

The Brewers return to the National League Championship Series for the first time since 2018. Milwaukee lost to the Dodgers in seven games. The Brewers haven’t appeared in the World Series since 1982. They don’t have rings as an organization.
