On October 17th, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers took a commanding 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series with a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Dodgers' bullpen was the key to their success, as Alex Vesia, Blake Treinen, Anthony Banda, and Roki Sasaki combined to throw 3 1/3 scoreless innings to close out the game.
The game was a pitchers' duel, with Dodgers ace Tyler Glasnow and Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski both putting on a dominant display. Glasnow struck out 8 batters over 5 2/3 innings, while Misiorowski fanned 9 in 5 innings. The shadows cast across the field during the day game added to the challenge for the hitters.
The game-winning hit came off the bat of Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman, who delivered a go-ahead single in the 6th inning to give his team a 2-1 lead. Edman had struggled against Misiorowski earlier in the game but was able to adjust and lift a slider into center field for the decisive blow.
With the victory, the Dodgers are now one win away from returning to the World Series. They will have Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the potential clincher in Game 4 on Friday.
