ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series, taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
- Despite Will Smith's two-run double giving the Dodgers a brief lead, the Brewers quickly responded with back-to-back home runs in the seventh inning off Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell.
- The Dodgers' offense has struggled significantly, batting just .165/.264/.187 in the series and failing to capitalize with runners in scoring position throughout the postseason.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shuffled the lineup to spark production, but the team continues to face the daunting task of winning four straight games to stay alive, a comeback only once achieved in MLB history.
- Roberts plans to motivate his team ahead of Game 4 but acknowledges the difficulty of the challenge, referencing his own experience with the 2004 Red Sox, the only team to overcome a 3-0 series deficit.
