Ohtani sparks Dodgers’ charge as LA moves one win from World Series

The National League Championship Series has reached its decisive stage, with the Los Angeles Dodgers now holding a 3–0 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers after winning the first two games at American Family Field (2–1 and 5–1) and sealing a 3–1 victory in Game 3 at Dodger Stadium.

Shohei Ohtani opened the scoring in style, smashing a triple in his first at-bat before being driven home by Mookie Betts, who hit a double to put the Dodgers on the board. In the top of the second inning, the Brewers managed to level the score thanks to Caleb Durbin, who crossed the plate on a Jake Bauers single up the middle.

In the bottom of the sixth, Will Smith broke the tie after a single by Tommy Edman, and later Freddie Freeman extended the lead, scoring on a pickoff throwing error by pitcher Abner Uribe. With this win, the Dodgers are now just one victory away from claiming the National League crown and advancing to the World Series, where they’ll aim for back-to-back championships by lifting the Commissioner’s Trophy once again.
