Late Rally Seals Victory
The Brewers reclaimed the lead in the seventh inning of Game 3 and held on for a 6-2 win that gave them a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-seven series. After the Dodgers moved ahead 2-1 in the sixth, Milwaukee responded with consecutive home runs that chased the starter and extended the advantage to 4-2.
Key Inning Details
A seven-pitch walk opened the seventh for Milwaukee, and the runner advanced on a 412-foot homer to right field. The next batter followed with a 428-foot drive to right-center. The starter had retired 14 straight before those two swings and finished six innings with nine strikeouts and two walks while allowing four runs.
Additional Scoring and Context
An eighth-inning wild pitch brought home another run, and a two-strike single in the ninth made the final margin 6-2. The Dodgers had taken their only lead on a two-run double after loading the bases. Milwaukee had started with a leadoff homer in the first and never trailed until the sixth.
