"A team that needed to win a Wild Card Series at the start of the playoffs is 8-1 in the postseason behind outstanding starting pitching, an improved bullpen and just enough offense. "We're just excited," said Edman, the 2024 NLCS MVP. "We didn't play great during the regular season and we're getting hot at the right time." No defending champion has reached the World Series since the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies. No team has won consecutive titles since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees took three in a row."
""You got to treat it like it's a do-or-die game," Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy said. "You can't look ahead, and I think that's something a lot of teams struggle with." Game 4 is Friday. The only one of the 41 teams that overcame a 3-0 postseason deficit was the 2004 Boston Red Sox against the Yankees, sparked by current Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. "We're up, but like Kobe (Bryant) said, 'The job's not done,'" Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts said. "We got to keep going and just keep applying pressure. We got to keep in mind we're five wins away from what we really want.""
Tommy Edman hit a tiebreaking single off rookie Jacob Misiorowski in a two-run sixth as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 to take a 3-0 lead in the NL Championship Series. The Dodgers are 8-1 in the postseason, powered by outstanding starting pitching, an improved bullpen and timely offense. Shohei Ohtani tripled and scored on Mookie Betts' double, while Jake Bauers provided Milwaukee's lone run. Tyler Glasnow allowed one run, and Dodgers starters Ohtani, Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto have combined for a 1.54 postseason ERA. Edman was named 2024 NLCS MVP.
