Dodgers trail Brewers 3-0 as Dave Roberts seeks another historic comeback
The Brewers beat the Dodgers 6-2 in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday.
Milwaukee now leads the best-of-seven series 3-0, leaving the two-time defending champions one loss from elimination.
Only one team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven Major League Baseball playoff series: the Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees in 2004.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts played for Boston and stole a key base in that comeback, helping set up a game-tying run in Game 4.
Roberts says his players need to focus on winning the next game, which is an elimination game.
The Dodgers have scored seven runs in the series, hit no home runs and are 2 for 16 with runners in scoring position.
A win would keep Los Angeles alive, but the team needs to produce more chances and score runs to extend the series.
The Dodgers trail the Milwaukee Brewers 3-0 in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series after losing Game 3 by 6-2.
Los Angeles is one loss away from elimination and needs to win Game 4 to keep the series alive.
Manager Dave Roberts says a comeback is possible, drawing on his experience with Boston’s 2004 comeback from a 3-0 deficit.
Teams leading 3-0 in a best-of-seven series have won 41 of 42 times, with the 2004 Red Sox the only team to come back.
The Dodgers have scored seven runs in three games, have no home runs in the series and are 2 for 16 with runners in scoring position.
