The Los Angeles Dodgers, trailing 2-0 in the National League Championship Series, turn to pitcher Blake Snell in Game 3 against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are trailing 2-0 in the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers as the series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3. Blake Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, starts for the Dodgers, who are trying to avoid falling into an 0-3 hole. The Brewers have impressed in both games, winning in multiple ways. In Game 1, they hit a game-tying home run, bunted their runner to second, and hit a single to take the lead. Game 2 saw a solo home run from William Contreras at a key moment. The Brewers' pitchers have been particularly strong; their starters and bullpen have both been reliable.

The Dodgers scored first in both games but could not build on their leads. Both Tarik Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto had shortened outings in their respective games. The Dodgers faced Brewers starter Robert Gasser twice during the regular season and won both games, batting .312 against him, which may offer some hope for Los Angeles in Game 3.

Snell has spoken about wanting redemption in the postseason. He made two starts in last year's World Series but did not pitch well in either. He acknowledged feeling misunderstood by public perception and expressed that he wants to pitch and win Cy Youngs.
