The Dodgers have taken control of the National League Championship Series with a resounding 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3. The win has propelled Los Angeles to a commanding 3-0 lead, leaving the Brewers on the brink of elimination.
Tyler Glasnow was his usual dominant self for the Dodgers, racking up eight strikeouts and limiting the Brewers to just one run on three hits in five and two-thirds innings. Meanwhile, Roki Sasaki delivered yet another clutch performance with his third save of the postseason, sealing the win for Los Angeles.
The Dodgers took an early lead, thanks to a pair of key contributions from Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani. In the first inning, Betts homered off opener Aaron Ashby, while Ohtani led off the game with a triple that he would eventually score on, setting the tone for the rest of the evening.
The Brewers fought back in the second inning, with Caleb Durbin tripling to left and Jake Bauers following up with an RBI single. However, Los Angeles' bullpen proved to be too much for Milwaukee's offense, as Tommy Edman came through with a go-ahead RBI single in the sixth inning that sparked a decisive three-run rally.
The Brewers were further thwarted by injuries, including Jackson Chourio's departure from the game with a right leg injury. With their top hitters struggling and their pitching staff faltering, Milwaukee can't seem to catch a break at this point in the series.
For the Dodgers, the win is a significant step towards returning to the World Series for the first time since 2020. Los Angeles will now look to close out the series with a sweep in Game 4 on Friday, giving them their second championship in three years.

. The Dodgers' win is impressive and all, but let's be real, they still have one of the best rosters in the league. Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki are a dominant duo, no question. But what about the Brewers? I mean, they got destroyed out there... like, didn't even stand a chance 
. And don't even get me started on all these injuries piling up - it's just not fair to the other team 
. Can we please focus on some actual skill and strategy for once? The "team effort" thing is just a cop-out when you've got guys like Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani leading the charge 
. Let's see if they can actually close it out in Game 4... I'm not holding my breath 
. The Brewers are struggling big time and I think it's gonna be tough for them to come back from a 3-0 deficit. The Dodgers' pitching has been insane, especially Tyler Glasnow – that guy is a beast 
! And can we talk about Mookie Betts? He's on fire right now 
.
. The Dodgers, on the other hand, are looking sharp. They've got the talent and the depth to make this sweep happen 
.

I'm loving the Dodgers' dominance so far! 
. And Mookie Betts' homer was a huge momentum-booster for LA 
. The Brewers just can't seem to catch a break with all these injuries and struggling pitching 
. Fingers crossed it stays that way for the Dodgers, they need to bring home that championship 
!
that's gotta be tough for those Brewers players right now... they're fighting so hard but just can't seem to catch a break 
and to make matters worse, injuries are piling up... poor Jackson Chourio 
but I guess that's just baseball 
and Roki Sasaki's save was clutch as always 
. The Brewers just can't seem to get anything going, injuries aren't helping their cause and it's hard to see them coming back from this 3-0 deficit 
. Can't wait to see how this series plays out!
