NLCS: Jackson Chourio sucks life out of Dodger Stadium with first-pitch home run off Blake Snell to spark Brewers' Game 3 win
Yahoo • • general
Key Points:
- The Milwaukee Brewers took a commanding 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 3 at Dodger Stadium.
- Brewers leadoff hitter Jackson Chourio opened the game with a home run on the first pitch against Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell, setting the tone early.
- Despite the Dodgers briefly taking a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning, Milwaukee responded with two home runs in the seventh inning off Snell, including a two-run shot by Jake Bauers and a solo homer by Garrett Mitchell.
- Snell allowed three home runs in total, and the Brewers' strong offensive performance stifled the Dodgers' home crowd.
- The Dodgers now face a daunting task to avoid elimination, as only one MLB team—the 2004 Boston Red Sox—has ever come back from a 3-0 playoff series deficit.
