Brewers take 3-0 lead over Dodgers in NLCS, announce World Series ticket sales

The Milwaukee Brewers have secured a 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, moving one victory away from their first National League pennant since 1982. The Brewers defeated the Dodgers 6-2 on Wednesday in Game 3, a result that pushes the two-time defending World Series champions to the brink of elimination.

During the seventh inning, Jake Bauers and Garret Mitchell hit back-to-back home runs off Blake Snell to help secure the win. Jackson Chourio also hit a home run on the first pitch of the game. This victory marks the fifth comeback win in seven postseason games for Milwaukee, which topped the majors with 103 wins during the regular season despite hitting the second-fewest home runs in baseball.

With the series now in Los Angeles, Game 4 is scheduled for Thursday, October 15, at 7 p.m. at Dodger Stadium. A win in that game would make the Brewers the first major league club to complete a postseason sweep after being swept by the same opponent in the previous postseason, as Los Angeles won all four games against Milwaukee in last year’s NLCS.

Anticipating a potential return to Milwaukee for the World Series, the Brewers have announced details for purchasing single-game tickets to potential Games 1 and 2 at American Family Field. The team released information regarding ticket sales for Wisconsin residents, noting that the franchise still has work to do on the field to bring the World Series back to the state.

Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy commented on the team's resilience, stating, “All three games we’ve played so far, and hopefully that continues, where just every time they score, we come back and score. That’s not easy to do in baseball.” The Brewers are now one win away from reaching the World Series for the first time since their 1982 appearance, when they lost a seven-game series to the St. Louis Cardinals while in the American League.
