NL Championship Series Game Two: LA Dodgers 4 Milwaukee Brewers 3

Justin Turner's eighth inning, two-run homer proved decisive as the Dodgers rebounded from a 3-0 deficit to take game two of the NLCS, 4-3. Turner's blast ended the Brewers' 12-game winning streak which had extended back into the final eight games of the regular season and included a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies in the divisional series.

With the series tied at a game apiece, game three shifts to Los Angeles on Tuesday.
