Brewers power past Dodgers as Blake Snell struggles in NLCS Game 3
Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers lead the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium on October 14, 2026. Blake Snell was on the mound for the Dodgers and initially pitched well but allowed a solo home run and two additional homers later, leading to his departure. In a twist of irony, Snell's early exit from Tampa Bay in the 2020 World Series provided an advantage for the Dodgers, while now, the Dodgers are at risk of falling behind in the series. The Brewers can take a commanding series lead with a victory in this game.
