Brewers steal Game 3 on Dodgers' home turf to go up 3-0, pushing LA to brink of elimination

The Milwaukee Brewers pushed the Los Angeles Dodgers to the brink of elimination Wednesday night with a 6-2 Game 3 victory at Dodger Stadium. One win now separates Milwaukee from completing the sweep and returning the favor for last year's NLCS. Jackson Chourio ambushed Blake Snell’s first pitch of the night for a leadoff blast, and Robert Gasser protected the lead with five shutout frames. After the Dodgers briefly went ahead in the sixth on Will Smith’s two-run double, Milwaukee answered in three batters. Snell walked Andrew Vaughn to open the seventh before Jake Bauers won an 11-pitch battle with a go-ahead, two-run missile. Garrett Mitchell hammered the next pitch over the wall to chase Snell and make it 4-2. A wild pitch in the eighth, a Joey Ortiz RBI single in the ninth, and 3.2 scoreless relief innings from DL Hall and Trevor Megill finished the job.
