The National League Championship Series shifts to Los Angeles, and the Dodgers find themselves in a two-game hole. The Brewers took the first two games against the reigning champions in front of their home fans at American Family Field, one year after the Dodgers swept Milwaukee in the NLCS.
Now the Dodgers need a win to keep their back-to-back-to-back title aspirations alive. Can L.A. get one back and avoid the brink of elimination, or will the Brewers keep rolling and take a commanding 3-0 series lead? Game action and postgame analysis from Los Angeles will follow.
The Brewers' starting pitcher is Robert Gasser, facing Dodgers ace Blake Snell. Milwaukee's lineup is led by Jackson Chourio in left field, with William Contreras catching and Joey Ortiz at third base. Los Angeles counters with Mookie Betts at shortstop, Shohei Ohtani batting sixth as the designated hitter, and Will Smith behind the plate.
Ohtani continues to struggle at the plate, a storyline Los Angeles will need to address if it hopes to climb back into the series. First pitch is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET.
