The Dodgers have seized control of the National League Championship Series with a decisive 3-1 victory over the Brewers in Game 3. The Los Angeles team is now on the cusp of making a historic return to the World Series, having taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Tyler Glasnow's dominant outing saw him rack up eight strikeouts in just five and two-thirds innings, while also limiting the Brewers' offense to just one run on three hits. The Dodgers' victory came behind some crucial contributions from their own lineup, including an RBI double by Mookie Betts in the first inning and a go-ahead single by Tommy Edman in the sixth.
The Brewers' efforts to mount a comeback were thwarted by Jacob Misiorowski's nine strikeouts over five innings of relief, but they were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Milwaukee went just 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position in Game 3, a stark contrast to their 6-for-11 mark over the first two games of the series.
The Dodgers' bullpen also played a key role in securing the win, with Roki Sasaki delivering his third save of the postseason. The team's leadoff hitter Shohei Ohtani got off to a strong start, hitting a triple on his first pitch and scoring later in the inning.
However, their success was marred by an injury to leadoff hitter Jackson Chourio, who departed during an at-bat in the seventh inning with a right leg injury. The Dodgers, now one loss away from advancing to the World Series, will look to close out the series on Friday and make history once again.
With their powerful offense and dominant pitching, the Dodgers have proven themselves to be nearly unbeatable so far in this postseason run. Can they maintain their momentum and bring home their first World Series title since 2020? Only time will tell.

it's not like they're underdogs or anything. and honestly, i think they'll choke in the world series. all that pressure might take its toll on them 
plus, they've had some close calls already this postseason. can't say for sure but i'm not putting my money on them yet 
The Brewers just got destroyed by the Dodgers' pitching, but do we really know how much of an impact Jackson Chourio's injury had on the game? It seems like a pretty convenient coincidence that Milwaukee couldn't capitalize on scoring opportunities with runners in position. And what about Tyler Glasnow's stats - eight Ks in 5.2 innings? That's definitely impressive, but is it sustainable? I'd love to see some more data before I start jumping on the Dodgers bandwagon 
I was thinking about how it's kinda similar to the Dodgers' game, they just kept building up and then BAM! That final inning came in like a wave 
. And now Jackson Chourio is hurt, that's like, so not good for them... but fingers crossed he'll be back on track soon
