Dodgers 1 win away from making World Series after defeating Brewers in Game 3

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1, and now lead the NLCS 3-0. Colin Cowherd says the Dodgers have no flaws, and that they’re on the path to repeat as World Series champions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are one win away from going back to the World Series after their 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the NLCS on Thursday at Dodger Stadium. 

They are one win away from becoming the first defending champion to reach the World Series in 16 years. 

The Dodgers started off fast as Shohei Ohtani led off in the bottom of the first with a triple off of Aaron Ashby. Mookie Betts ripped a double in the next at-bat and the Dodgers jumped out to a 1-0 lead.

The Brewers responded in the top of the second inning as third baseman Caleb Durbin tripled off Tyler Glasnow and scored on left fielder Jake Bauers' single to tie it up at 1-1. 

That score held into the sixth inning as both Tyler Glasnow and Jacob Misiorowski, who relieved Ashby, pitched well. 

The Dodgers broke through in the sixth inning, as second baseman Tommy Edman looped a single into center field to score catcher Will Smith, making it 2-1.

"We're just excited," said Edman, the 2024 NLCS MVP. "We didn't play great during the regular season and we're getting hot at the right time."

Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman moved to third on Edman’s hit, and scored on an error by Brewers' reliever Abner Uribe’s pickoff attempt.
