Dodgers barely had time to blink before Brewers’ Jackson Chourio made history

3 sources →

In Game 3 of the NLCS, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2, taking a lead in the series. The game began with Jackson Chourio hitting a leadoff home run on Blake Snell’s first pitch, setting a new MLB record for postseason home runs by a player under 23. While Snell settled in to record nine strikeouts, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts kept him in for the seventh inning. This decision resulted in a leadoff walk followed by back-to-back home runs from Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell, which ultimately led to the Dodgers' loss and criticism of Roberts' bullpen management.
