Los Angeles Times • • sports
Key Points:
- Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell gave up a two-run homer to Jake Bauers and a subsequent home run to Garrett Mitchell in the seventh inning, leading to a 6-2 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the NLCS.
- The Dodgers fell behind 3-0 in the series and must win the next four games to advance to the World Series, a comeback only achieved once in MLB history by the 2004 Red Sox.
- Snell pitched efficiently through six innings with nine strikeouts but struggled late, surrendering three home runs in one game for the first time this season.
- Despite a brief Dodgers rally with a two-run double from Will Smith, the Brewers added insurance runs in the eighth and ninth innings to secure the victory.
- Dodgers players emphasized the need to regroup and focus on winning the next game, acknowledging the challenge ahead but maintaining belief in their ability to mount a comeback.
