Justin Turner connects for a two-run home run Saturday in Game 2 of the NLCS in Milwaukee. The blast, off Brewers’ reliever Jeremy Jeffress, led the Dodgers to a 4-3 win, tying the best-of-seven series at a game apiece. The blast also lifted a team that was reeling toward back-to-back losses and showed that, despite their reputations, the Brewers’ bullpen is beatable and the Dodgers can win without dominant starting pitching. The Dodgers staged a late rally against the Brewers’ feared bullpen, and put the tying run on third base before Corey Knebel struck out Turner to end it. “I was just trying to get something up, and as soon as I hit it, it felt good,” Turner said.
