Overview
- The Brewers beat the Dodgers 6-2 in Game 3, with Jackson Chourio’s leadoff homer and back-to-back seventh-inning blasts by Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell turning the game and giving Milwaukee a 3-0 series lead.
- Blake Snell, who had not allowed a homer all season, yielded three long balls in Game 3 as Los Angeles surrendered the lead late and now faces elimination.
- Los Angeles’s offense has sputtered across the series, scoring seven runs in three games, failing to hit a home run and producing poor results with runners in scoring position.
- Milwaukee’s bullpen has been outstanding this postseason but faces heavy usage questions after frequent high-leverage appearances from arms such as Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill.
- The Dodgers have to win Game 4 with Tyler Glasnow on the mound to avoid a sweep, and if Milwaukee closes the series it would produce one of the lowest combined payroll World Series matchups since 2011 while underscoring how rare a 3-0 comeback would be.
