More stellar pitching matchups await in League Championship Series games Monday.
After Jacob Misiorowski and the Brewers’ bullpen prevailed in Sunday’s NLCS opener against Tarik Skubal and the Dodgers, hitters figure to have a tough time in Milwaukee once again Monday.
Los Angeles will send 2025 World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the mound for Game 2 against star Brewers rookie Logan Henderson. The 24-year-old worked five strong innings against the Padres in his postseason debut after going 11-3 with a 2.47 ERA in 18 regular-season starts.
Later, the ALCS gets rolling at Tropicana Field with the Rays’ Drew Rasmussen looking to build on the most dominant outing of the 2026 postseason to date, which saw him allow just one hit in eight shutout innings against the Yankees while striking out 10. Cleveland will turn to lefty Foster Griffin, who was 15-6 with a 3.60 ERA during the regular season and made a lone relief appearance against the White Sox.
Here’s everything you need to know to tune in to today’s League Championship Series action.
