Dodgers Catcher’s Hesitation on Challenges Derails Yamamoto in NLCS Game 2

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost NLCS Game 2 to the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4, falling 0-2 in the series after catcher Will Smith declined to use two automatic ball-strike system challenges against pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Smith’s decision to save the challenges for later innings allowed Brewers hitter Brice Turang to reach base twice, directly contributing to Yamamoto’s early exit and the Dodgers' defeat. Manager Dave Roberts criticized Smith’s passivity, while Smith defended his choice as a strategic call early in the game. The Dodgers now face a must-win Game 3 at home, with questions surrounding lineup adjustments and Shohei Ohtani’s participation.
