Yahoo Sports • • general
Key Points:
- In Game 3 of the NLCS, Jake Bauers hit a pivotal two-run home run off Blake Snell, shifting momentum in favor of the Milwaukee Brewers and marking a dramatic turning point in the series.
- Snell, who had been dominant for six innings, gave up three home runs in the game, a rare and frustrating occurrence for the two-time Cy Young winner, contributing to the Dodgers' 6-2 loss.
- The Dodgers briefly rallied in the sixth inning, scoring two runs off Brewers reliever Abner Uribe, but were unable to sustain the momentum against Milwaukee's pitching.
- Bauers, once a minor-league teammate of Snell and released by the Dodgers just months before, has emerged as a key player for the Brewers, exemplifying perseverance and late-career resurgence.
- With the series now heavily favoring Milwaukee, the Dodgers face a daunting challenge, as only one MLB team has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series, leaving the Dodgers on the brink of elimination.
