Story summary

The Dodgers are trailing 2-0 against the Brewers in the NLCS for the second consecutive year. Blake Snell, a key pitcher for Los Angeles who was instrumental last postseason, is closely observing Milwaukee’s dynamics and strategies this year. He notes that Pat Murphy's leadership style has changed significantly from last season when the Brewers were swept by the Dodgers after finishing with an 97-65 record. Snell acknowledges the current challenge and suggests that adversity will test the Brewers' mental fortitude, as they face pressure to maintain their lead.
