Story summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced a must-win situation on October 14 in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) against the Milwaukee Brewers, who had taken a commanding 2-0 lead after winning both games in Milwaukee. The Dodgers turned to starting pitcher Blake Snell, hoping he could help avoid a daunting 0-3 deficit. Despite an impressive start, Snell was immediately challenged when Jackson Chourio of the Brewers hit a solo home run on his first pitch, giving Milwaukee an early 1-0 lead. Chourio's homer not only gave his team momentum but also made him the Brewers' all-time postseason home run leader at just 22 years old, surpassing Juan Soto and Kyle Schwarber with six career playoff homers.

The series had seen the Brewers display impressive offensive and defensive capabilities, tying Game 1 with a game-tying homer and winning Game 2 despite multiple deficits. Snell's team needed to respond effectively if they hoped to stay in contention for their potential third consecutive World Series title.
