Brewers homer their way to a 3-0 NLCS lead over the Dodgers
One win from the World Series, against the team that swept them in last year's NLCS.
Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell hit back-to-back home runs off Blake Snell in the seventh inning to retake the lead, and Milwaukee beat Los Angeles 6-2 on Wednesday for a 3-0 series lead. Jackson Chourio had homered on Snell's first pitch of the game, and Bauers' two-run shot came on the 11th pitch of his at-bat. The two-time defending champion Dodgers had trailed 3-0 in a best-of-seven series only once before, in the 1966 World Series; only the 2004 Red Sox have come back from 0-3. Game 4 was Thursday at Dodger Stadium.
