Brewers put Dodgers season on the brink with stunning comeback Game 3 win

The Los Angeles Dodgers, chasing a historic third straight World Series title, suffered a devastating setback in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. After a strong start from Blake Snell, who retired 18 of 20 batters in six innings, the Dodgers built a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning thanks to a clutch two-run double by Will Smith with the bases loaded.

However, the Brewers staged a dramatic late rally, with Jake Bauers delivering a game-tying 412-foot home run in the seventh inning after an 11-pitch duel with Snell. The Brewers then took the lead for good, handing the Dodgers a 6-2 loss that leaves them on the brink of elimination and facing an unprecedented challenge to overcome a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series.

The loss marks a stunning reversal of fortune for the Dodgers, who had dominated the Brewers in their previous postseason meeting by sweeping the 2022 NLCS. Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, struggled in the seventh inning, walking the leadoff batter and allowing Bauers to hit a towering shot that shifted momentum decisively.

The defeat adds pressure on Los Angeles as they seek to extend their modern dynasty, now hanging by a thread after three consecutive losses in this series.
