Ultimate Dodger man cave in Rialto [RELATED COVERAGE]
FOX 11's Gina Silva got a tour of the ultimate Dodgers man cave in Rialto.
MILWAUKEE (KTTV) - The Los Angeles Dodgers are two wins away from returning to the World Series.
The Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. Dodger ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto silenced the Brew Crew's bats by throwing a complete game, the first pitcher to do so in the postseason in eight years.
Yamamoto gave up a leadoff home run to Jackson Chuorio in the first inning to fall to a 1-0 deficit, but the Japanese righthander cruised the rest of the way by allowing just two additional hits in the one-run outing.
Teoscar Hernandez tied the game at the top of the second with a solo homer and his Dodger teammates put together four additional runs for the rest of the game to cruise to a 5-1 win.
With Tuesday's massive victory, not only did the Dodgers jump to a 2-0 best-of-7 game series lead, but the series shifts to Los Angeles for Games 3, 4 and 5, giving the Boys in Blue a chance to finish the NLCS at Dodger Stadium instead of possibly having to fly back to Milwaukee.
