Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang homered off Tarik Skubal in his team's 2-1 win in Game 1 of the NLCS on Sunday night, a surprise in and of itself given how difficult it is to face the Los Angeles Dodgers' ace in general.

But Turang also sent an inside sinker over the left-center wall, an impressive swing and a wildly improbable result. Even Skubal had to give Turang props.

"I'm gonna tip my hat on a pitch like that," he told reporters. "A 2-0 sinker in, I mean, I'm gonna live with that, left-on-left. He put a good swing on it."

"I went back on the iPad mid-game after he told me it was in, just to see how far in it was," Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers added. "I was like, maybe he wasn't seeing it right; that pitch was probably right down the middle. And sure enough, it was dotted in. That was one of the more impressive swings I've ever seen."
