The Los Angeles Dodgers are poised to make history as the first defending champion to return to the World Series in 16 years, thanks to their 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the NLCS. The Dodgers' dominant performance has them just one win away from bringing home the championship.
Shohei Ohtani's triple off Aaron Ashby set the tone for the game, followed by Mookie Betts' double that gave the Dodgers an early lead. However, the Brewers fought back in the top of the second, with Caleb Durbin tripling and scoring on Jake Bauers' single to tie the game at 1-1.
The score remained stagnant until the sixth inning, when Tommy Edman looped a single into center field that scored Will Smith, putting the Dodgers up 2-1. Freddie Freeman then benefited from an error by Abner Uribe's pickoff attempt, scoring on the play to extend the Dodgers' lead.
The Brewers will look to avoid getting swept in Game 4 of the NLCS, but their struggles against the Dodgers' starting pitchers have been evident so far. The Dodgers' starters have posted a sparkling 1.54 ERA in the postseason thus far.
"We're just excited," said Edman, the 2024 NLCS MVP. "We didn't play great during the regular season, and we're getting hot at the right time." For the Dodgers, the focus is on taking things one game at a time.
"You got to treat it like it's a do-or-die game," Max Muncy said. "You can't look ahead, and I think that's something a lot of teams struggle with."
The Dodgers are now just five wins away from their goal, and the pressure is on for them to bring home the championship. As Will Smith noted, "We're up, but like Kobe (Bryant) said, 'The job's not done.'"
The Brewers will look to mount a comeback in Game 4 of the NLCS, but the odds are stacked against them. The Dodgers' dominant performance has put them firmly on track to return to the World Series, and it remains to be seen whether anyone can stop them.

the dodgers are on fire 
and it's crazy to think they're just 5 wins away from bringing home that championship 
i mean shohei ohtani's triple off aaron ashby was like, wow 
what a play. and mookie betts' double in the first inning got them ahead early 
️ now we'll see if the brewers can mount a comeback in game 4. gotta say, max muncy makes some sense with that do-or-die mindset 
it's gonna be intense! 
they're basically done for the year already... i mean dont get me wrong dodgers are gonna take it all home, but Brewers gotta try harder than that in game 4. Edman says its a do or die but like man u guys got game 3 in ur pocket already 
and on a serious note, Dodgers starting pitchers have been on fire 
I'm thinking the Brewers need to adjust their strategy because they're just getting smashed by the Dodgers' starting pitchers 
.
. Like, the Dodgers have been dominating all postseason and now they're just one win away from the title! Shohei Ohtani's triple was a game-changer, and Mookie Betts' double gave them that early lead. I think the Brewers will put up a good fight in Game 4, but I'm not sure how much more they can muster at this point 
. And don't even get me started on the Dodgers' "focus" on taking things one game at a time - like that's gonna change anything now? They're just gonna cruise to the championship without even breaking a sweat 
. And what about the Brewers trying to mount a comeback in Game 4? Yeah right, they won't be able to stop the Dodgers' juggernaut...
! The Brewers are gonna need a miracle in Game 4 if they wanna take down the Dodgers 
. They're one win away from bringing that championship home 
. I'm rooting for a fun World Series, though 
!
mookie betts is on fire too with that double 
and tommy edman's single in the 6th inning sealed it for them 
i'm rooting so hard for the dodgers now 
can they bring home the championship? 
️
, been watching the series and their pitching is insane 
. The Brewers gotta step up their game if they wanna make a comeback 
, can't wait to see what he does next
