Dodgers collapse again, tumble into 3-0 NLCS hole against surging Brewers

The Los Angeles Dodgers fell into a 3-0 series deficit against the Milwaukee Brewers following a 6-2 defeat in Game 3 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night. Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell had surrendered an early home run to Jackson Chourio before Los Angeles took a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning via a two-run double from Will Smith. However, Snell gave up consecutive home runs to Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell in the seventh inning to surrender the lead.

Milwaukee added late insurance runs against Dodgers relievers Roki Sasaki and Justin Wrobleski to seal the victory. With the Brewers leading 3-0, manager Dave Roberts and the Dodgers must win four consecutive games to reach the World Series and keep their hopes of a three-peat alive, a feat accomplished only once in MLB history.
