MLB National League title goes to decider

The Milwaukee Brewers have scored a 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers to force a deciding seventh game in baseball's National League Championship Series.

The Milwaukee Brewers have made a strong start to hold on for a 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers to force a deciding seventh game for baseball's National League Championship Series.

The Brewers level up the playoff at 3-3 and keep their hopes alive of meeting the Boston Red Sox in the World Series.

David Freese had opened scoring for the visitors on Friday at Miller Park, putting LA one ahead with a home run.

But the Brewers responded with a four-point raid, initiated by a two-runner off the bat of Jesus Aguilar.

He then made it home after Mike Moustakas' effort at the plate who, in turn, was seen back to the dugout with a point by Erik Kratz.

In the second inning, Ryan Braun added to Milwaukee's total with a double that saw Christian Yelich score.

LA managed to claw one back in the fifth, again with Freese's input, as his double allowed Brian Dozier back in and the score moved out to 5-2.

But Milwaukee pulled way ahead with a point in the seventh after a wild pitch by Kenta Maeda, which was followed in the eighth with a single by Aguilar.

The teams will play their tiebreaker game on Saturday at the same venue.
