MILWAUKEE -- Typically known for his glove, Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia continues to make a name for himself this postseason in another way -- with his bat. Saturday provided the latest example, when Arcia clocked a solo home run off Hyun-Jin Ryu to give Milwaukee the lead in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series before the Dodgers rallied to hand the Brewers a 4-3 defeat.

Arcia pounced on a first-pitch cutter from Ryu with one out in the fifth, sending it 407 feet and just over the wall in center field to break a scoreless tie.
A .236 hitter who was demoted this spring after struggling offensively, Arcia hit just three home runs across 119 regular-season games after hitting 15 in 2017. He now has two this October, also homering in the Brewers' NL Division Series-clinching Game 3 win over the Rockies.
