Brewers go one win from World Series as back-to-back homers sink Dodgers

Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell delivered consecutive home runs off Dodgers starter Blake Snell in the seventh inning, pushing the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-2 victory over Los Angeles. The win gave the Brewers a 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series, putting the defending champions on the brink of elimination.

Los Angeles had briefly reclaimed a 2-1 edge in the sixth inning, but the back‑to‑back blasts erased that advantage and restored Milwaukee’s control. The Dodgers, who have won the World Series twice in a row, now face a must‑win situation to stay alive, a scenario they have only encountered once before in franchise history, during the 1966 World Series sweep by Baltimore.
