The Milwaukee Brewers offense came through on Sunday afternoon in a 9-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of the NLCS. With the win, which came in Milwaukee, the Brewers held serve, preserving their home-field advantage in the series.
On Monday, the NLCS resumes, with the Brewers and Cardinals back at it again ahead of Tuesday's travel day. Shaun Marcum heads to the hill for Milwaukee and looks to bounce back from his last start. Against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NLDS, Marcum gave up seven runs over 5-2/3 innings, and was tagged with the loss for his efforts.
Edwin Jackson takes the bump for the Cardinals and will try to steal a game before heading back to St. Louis. In his last outing, Jackson allowed two runs over six innings in a win over the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS.
Here's the information for Game 2.
