Blake Snell was exactly what the Dodgers needed, until he wasn’t

Blake Snell delivered six strong innings for the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLCS, striking out nine and allowing only a first-pitch home run to Jackson Chourio. Despite a two-run double from Will Smith providing a brief lead, the game turned in the seventh inning when Snell surrendered a go-ahead hit to Jake Bauers and a subsequent home run to Garrett Mitchell, ultimately resulting in a 6-2 defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Snell expressed frustration over the early home run and his inability to close out the seventh, noting his familiarity with Bauers from their shared time in Tampa. The Dodgers now look toward Tyler Glasnow for Game 4 as they attempt to recover from a series deficit.
