Brewers drop Game 3 of NLDS in another tightly fought battle, 4-3

The Milwaukee Brewers' NLDS lead against the San Diego Padres evaporated in Game 3, as the home team secured a 4-3 victory in a hard-fought contest at Petco Park. The Padres took an early 1-0 lead in the third inning, with Samad Taylor’s sharp single up the middle sparking a two-run rally after he stole second and advanced on a bunt.

The Brewers clawed back with William Contreras’ two-run homer in the fourth, but the Padres’ bullpen held firm, including a clutch relief appearance by JoJo Romero, who preserved the lead after Nick Pivetta exited early. Jackson Merrill’s defensive highlight—a diving catch on the warning track—helped stifle the Brewers’ early momentum, while Dustin May’s strong outing kept Milwaukee off the board in key moments.

The loss cuts the Brewers’ series lead to 2-1, setting up a tense Game 4 showdown.
