The Los Angeles Dodgers lost 6-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on October 15, 2026. Blake Snell, who started the game, allowed a leadoff home run to Jackson Chourio but retired 18 of the next 20 batters. In the seventh inning, Snell walked Andrew Vaughn and allowed a two-run homer to Jake Bauers, followed by another home run from Garrett Mitchell, marking only the fifth time in his career that he allowed three home runs in a game. The Dodgers had previously taken a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning with a two-run double from Will Smith, but failed to capitalize on opportunities, finishing 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position. The Dodgers now face a 3-0 deficit in the series, a situation only one team in MLB history has overcome in a seven-game series. Shohei Ohtani, despite a base-running mistake, contributed with a hit and a walk, but the team will need more from him moving forward.
