Brewers' Back-To-Back Spoils Dodgers' Three-Peat Hopes: 3 Takeaways From NLCS Game 3

The Milwaukee Brewers extended their dominance in the National League Championship Series by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 3, securing a 3-0 series lead at Dodger Stadium. This victory puts Milwaukee one win away from reaching the World Series for the first time since 1982, while effectively ending the Dodgers' pursuit of a third consecutive title.

The decisive momentum shifted in the seventh inning when first baseman Jake Bauers broke a 2-1 deficit with a two-run home run off left-hander Blake Snell. Bauers worked Snell deep into an 11-pitch at-bat before launching the ball to right field, sparking a celebration from the Brewers' dugout.

Center fielder Garrett Mitchell immediately followed with a solo homer against Snell, increasing Milwaukee's lead to 4-2. Earlier in the game, left fielder Jackson Chourio had also homered off Snell, whose 97.6 mph opening pitch was hit at 106.1 mph.
