Milwaukee Brewers beat Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 after consecutive seventh-inning homers

Opening innings

Jackson Chourio homered on the first pitch. Brewers starter Robert Gasser held Los Angeles scoreless through five innings.

Los Angeles moved ahead in the sixth when Will Smith doubled home Kyle Tucker and Teoscar Hernández. The two-run hit turned Milwaukee’s one-run lead into a one-run deficit, with Shohei Ohtani advancing to third.

Hall ends the sixth-inning threat

Abner Uribe struggled with his control in the sixth, and Brewers manager Pat Murphy replaced him with DL Hall. With Ohtani at third, Hall struck out Kiké Hernández and Tommy Edman to end the inning without another run scoring.

Bauers and Mitchell turn the game

Andrew Vaughn opened Milwaukee’s seventh with a walk. Christian Yelich entered as his pinch-runner before Jake Bauers batted, putting Yelich aboard for the first of the Brewers’ consecutive home runs.

Bauers hit a two-run homer against Dodgers starter Blake Snell to restore Milwaukee’s lead. Garrett Mitchell followed with a homer of his own against Snell, completing a three-run swing that put the Brewers ahead 4-2.

Milwaukee adds runs and closes out Game 3

Brice Turang scored on Justin Wrobleski’s eighth-inning wild pitch, while William Contreras advanced to second. Milwaukee added its final run in the ninth: Cooper Pratt singled, stole second and came home on Joey Ortiz’s single to left.

Hall’s outing ended after an Ohtani single in the eighth. He supplied two and one-third scoreless innings before Trevor Megill replaced him and retired Smith on a flyout.

Edman and Mookie Betts struck out for the final two outs. Hall received his third win of this postseason, becoming Milwaukee’s career postseason wins leader. The completed victory gave the Brewers a 3-0 lead in the NLCS.
