The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers. After a 2-1 game one victory, where Blake Snell delivered a gem performance, Los Angeles will look to steal another game at American Family Field

In game two, the Dodgers are sending out right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Milwaukee will go with its ace, Freddy Peralta, in a critical game. 

Dodgers reveal game two lineup vs. Brewers

The Dodgers' game two lineup features a few small tweaks, like Toescar Hernández being moved down because of the right-handed pitcher, and lefty Max Muncy gets a slight bump up. Here is the full lineup:

1. Shohei Ohtani, DH

2. Mookie Betts, SS 

3. Freddie Freeman, 1B

4. Will Smith, C

5. Max Muncy, 3B

6. Teoscar Hernández, RF

7. Tommy Edman, 2B

8. Kiké Hernandez, LF

9. Andy Pages, CF

SP. Yoshinobu Yamamoto

As for the opposing pitcher in Freddy Peralta, he made two starts in the NLDS vs. the Chicago Cubs, and surrendered five runs in 9.2 innings, adding 15 strikeouts. His ERA was 2.70 across 176.2 innings in the regular season.

Yamamoto has also had an impressive season to this point. It will be hard to follow up on what Blake Snell did in game one, but Yamamoto has been such a bright spot for LA in the postseason each of the last two seasons. 

The Dodgers' lineup features the same nine names as game one. Game two's first pitch is set for 8:08 P.M. EST, and can be broadcast on TBS.
