Brewers Fall Into 3-0 NLCS Deficit as Dodgers Roll in Return to Los Angeles
The Milwaukee Brewers face an 84% elimination chance after falling behind 3-0 in the NLCS against the Dodgers, despite their league-best regular season record of 97-65.
- On Thursday at Dodger Stadium, Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Jackson Chourio exited Game 3 mid-at-bat after grabbing his right hamstring, with the Brewers down 2-0 in the NLCS.
- Dodgers starters Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto dominated the Milwaukee Brewers, with Yamamoto pitching the first postseason complete game in eight years as Milwaukee's chase-rate resurged.
- Despite a strong regular season, Milwaukee Brewers offense managed just five hits and one run per game, with two-out singles by Brice Turang and Sal Frelick as rare highlights.
- The historical record shows teams down 2-0 have a 15-78 all-time win-loss, with roughly an 84% elimination rate, but Pat Murphy said, `'You guys might have us counted out'`.
- The Dodgers' rotation depth means starters can pitch six-plus innings, while Los Angeles Dodgers rotation can turn to Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow, increasing Milwaukee Brewers pitching strategy challenges.
