The Milwaukee Brewers rode into Dodger Stadium Thursday night and completely stunned the Los Angeles Dodgers, winning 6โ4 to grab a massive 3โ1 lead in the National League Championship Series. The Brewers โ who had the best record in the NL at 103โ59 this season โ are now just ONE win away from reaching the World Series!
D. Hamilton was the big hero for Milwaukee, going 2-for-4 with a home run, 2 RBI, 2 runs scored, a stolen base, and even a strikeout โ the kind of all-around stat line that makes fans go absolutely wild. The Dodgers, despite finishing the regular season at 100โ62, just can't seem to slow down Milwaukee's red-hot offense. Remember: the Brewers led their division by a whopping 22 games at the end of the season!
Game 5 is coming up, and the Brewers get a chance to close it out. The Dodgers need to win three straight just to survive. It would take a HUGE comeback โ but hey, this is baseball. Anything can happen!
Two huge playoff games were played Thursday night in the League Championship Series round. In the American League, the Cleveland Guardians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3โ2 in ALCS Game 3 to take a 2โ1 series lead. P. Halpin was the Guardians' offensive spark plug, going 1-for-3 with a home run and 2 RBI โ big clutch hit in a tight game! The Rays (who finished the season 98โ64, the best record in the AL East) will need to bounce back fast.

Wilson did his part for Seattle with 14 carries and 52 yards, but it wasn't enough. The Seahawks fall to 3โ3 on the season.
