Dodgers need historic comeback against Brewers for three-peat World Series dream

  • The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 on Wednesday to build a 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series, leaving the two-time defending champions on the brink of elimination.
  • Back-to-back home runs from Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell off Blake Snell in the seventh inning sparked a three-run rally to propel Milwaukee ahead.
  • “It sucks,” Snell said of being 3-0 in the series. “But it’s part of it. How do we bounce back? How do we fight? I think that’s the most important thing. It’s us coming together and finding a way to win.”
  • Only one team in MLB history has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series: the 2004 Red Sox in the American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees, on their way to breaking the Curse of the Bambino.
  • The Dodgers had runners on base in all but three innings, but couldn't get enough across. They have yet to hit a home run in the NLCS and are 3 for 32 with runners in scoring position this postseason.
