The Dodgers lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 2-1, in Game 1 National League Championship Series Sunday evening in Milwaukee as their postseason struggles with runners in scoring position continued.

The Dodgers were 1-for-6 with runners in scoring in position after going 1-for-16 in their four-game victory over the Atlanta Braves in their National League Division Series. The Brewers were 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

The Dodgers’ last chance Sunday with runners in scoring position came in ninth inning. Kyle Tucker and pinch-hitter Josue De Paula drew two-out walks from Trevor Megill, Mookie Betts filed out to center fielder Garrett Mitchell to end the game.

Milwaukee scored what proved to be the winning run in the fifth. Mitchell, the leadoff hitter, was walked on five pitches by Dodger starter Tarik Skubal and moved to second on Cooper Pratt’s sacrifice bunt.

Luis Lara hit the next pitch into center field for a single, driving in Mitchell.

The Dodgers opened the scoring in the second. Shohei Ohtani drew a four-pitch leadoff walk from Jacob Misiorowski, advanced to second on Teoscar Hernández’s single and scored one out later on Andy Pages’ single.

The Brewers tied the score in the fourth when leadoff hitter Brice Turang hit Skubal’s 2-0 sinker an estimated 384 feet over the left-center field fence.

Skubal, the first of four Dodger pitchers, was charged with the loss, allowing two runs and five hits in five innings, walking two and striking out seven. The Dodgers had won each of Skubal’s last eight starts, including Game 1 of their NLDS.

DL Hall, the second of five Milwaukee pitchers, was credited with the victory after inducing the only batter he faced, Freddie Freeman, to hit into an inning-ending double play in the fifth.

Megill was credited with his third save of the postseason for pitching a hitless ninth inning.

Misiorowski, the favorite to win the National League Cy Young Award after leading the league in ERA and strikeouts, was relieved after pitching 4 1/3 innings, allowing one run and five hits. He struck out five batters and walked three.

The Dodgers out-hit the Brewers, 7-6. They left nine runners on base, two more than Milwaukee.

The Dodgers hit into three double plays, the Brewers one.

Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is set for Monday in Milwaukee.
