Brewers beat Dodgers 6-2 to move one win from World Series

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 05:32 · Archive

The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 on Wednesday to take a 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series and move one win away from the World Series.

Jackson Chourio homered on the first pitch of the game to give Milwaukee an early lead. The Dodgers took a 2-1 advantage in the bottom of the sixth, but the Brewers responded in the seventh. Jake Bauers hit a 412-foot home run on the 11th pitch of his at-bat for a 3-2 lead, and Garrett Mitchell followed with a 428-foot shot to right-centre to extend it to 4-2 and chase Blake Snell from the game. Milwaukee added insurance runs in the eighth and ninth for the final 6-2 score.

Snell allowed four runs and four hits in six innings, striking out nine and walking two. The Dodgers, two-time defending World Series champions, now face elimination. They had previously trailed 3-0 in a best-of-seven postseason series only once in franchise history, getting swept by the Baltimore Orioles in the 1966 World Series. The Brewers are on the verge of sweeping the Dodgers in what would reverse last year's NLCS, when the Dodgers eliminated Milwaukee in four games.
