Brewers rally, take lead in Game 4 vs. Dodgers on Garrett Mitchell home run

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 3 of the NLCS on October 14, 2026, at Dodger Stadium, extending their series lead to 3-0 and leaving the Dodgers one loss away from elimination. The Brewers are now one win away from advancing to the World Series.

The decisive moment came in the seventh inning, when Garrett Mitchell delivered a home run off Dodgers starter Blake Snell, capping a dominant offensive performance that overwhelmed Snell for the third consecutive game in the series.

The Brewers’ offense opened the game with immediate firepower, as Jackson Chourio launched a home run on the first pitch of the contest off Snell. The early blow set the tone for a game in which the Brewers would exploit Snell’s struggles, tallying three home runs in total.

Jake Bauers added to the Brewers’ lead with a two-run home run in the seventh inning, giving Milwaukee a 3-2 advantage before Mitchell’s game-sealing shot. Snell, a two-time World Series champion, surrendered back-to-back home runs to Bauers and Mitchell in the same inning.

The Brewers’ three consecutive victories in the NLCS have propelled them to the brink of history, as they now stand on the verge of becoming the first team from Milwaukee to reach the World Series since the franchise’s inception in 1969. The Dodgers, meanwhile, face the prospect of elimination after falling behind 3-0 in the series.

The Brewers’ offensive resilience, particularly against Snell, has been a defining factor in their series dominance, with key contributions from Chourio, Bauers, and Mitchell proving decisive in each of the last three games.

Game 4 of the NLCS is scheduled for October 15, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET on Fox, Fox Deportes, and Fox Sports 1.
