The vibes in Milwaukee are absolutely electric right now. On Wednesday night, the Brewers pulled off a huge 6-2 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers, putting them just one victory away from the World Series. They’re currently sitting on a 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series, and honestly, the plot thickens for the defending champs.
A stunning comeback
It wasn't looking easy for a second there. The Dodgers had managed to snag a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth, but that momentum was short-lived. In the seventh, everything shifted. Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell delivered back-to-back homers off Blake Snell, turning the game around and reclaiming the lead for Milwaukee. It was highkey cinematic, with the Brewers' dugout losing their minds as the lead went to 3-2.
Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, had been cruising, retiring 14 batters in a row before he started to unravel. The Brewers didn't stop there; they added more insurance runs in the eighth and ninth to seal the 6-2 final score.
The Dodgers on the brink
For the Dodgers, it’s giving major L energy. They’ve been struggling to find their rhythm, and they still haven't managed a single home run in this series. Even Shohei Ohtani, who was moved to the sixth spot in the lineup, couldn't spark a massive turnaround. Now, the two-time defending World Series champions are staring down a sweep, which is a rare, rough spot for the franchise history books.
Why it matters
The Brewers have never beaten the Dodgers in three previous postseason tries. Being up 3-0 means they are inches away from a historic revenge arc after being eliminated by LA in last year’s NLCS. If they sweep, they officially claim their spot in the World Series.
