Brewers steal Game 3 on Dodgers’ home turf to go up 3-0, pushing LA to brink of elimination
Milwaukee beat Los Angeles 6-2 in Game 3 at Dodger Stadium, moving within one win of sweeping the series and leaving the Dodgers on the brink of elimination. The result matters because the Brewers are close to reversing last year’s NLCS outcome, while Los Angeles must win its next game to keep the series alive.
Jackson Chourio opened the scoring with a first-pitch home run, and Robert Gasser held the Dodgers scoreless over five innings. Los Angeles briefly led 2-1 in the sixth, but Jake Bauers hit a two-run homer in the seventh and Garrett Mitchell followed with another home run; Milwaukee added two more runs late. The Brewers’ bullpen then closed out the win, with Game 4 scheduled for Thursday.
- Milwaukee won Game 3, 6-2.
- The Brewers lead the series 3-0.
- Los Angeles must win Game 4 to stay alive.
