A leadoff home run from Milwaukee Brewers superstar Jackson Chourio set the tone, but it was an 11-pitch at-bat from Jake Bauers that sealed the deal.
Los Angeles Dodgers veteran southpaw Blake Snell may have given up a solo shot on his first pitch of the game, but he eventually settled in and at one point retired 14 straight batters.
Andrew Vaughn, whom manager Pat Murphy decided to have in the lineup over captain Christian Yelich, drew a leadoff walk in the top of the seventh that changed everything.
From there, it was the 11-pitch battle from Bauers, one that included five foul balls and was eerily similar to his 12-pitch walk against Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2.
Bauers crushed a 412-foot homer that scored himself and pinch runner Christian Yelich, and then Garrett Mitchell went yard two pitches later, which gave the Brewers a two-run lead.
All eyes were going to be on Murphy as he left Abner Uribe in the game for a few too many batters. But, in the end, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was the one who made a disastrous decision.
The Brewers began to tee off on Snell before eventually pulling out a 6-2 victory, one that gives them a commanding 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series.
Brewers won via the long ball
The national media loves to talk about how this team thrives on playing small ball, and while that's absolutely true, they still have a ton of power in this lineup.
Bauers was beyond due, and then Mitchell showed off his left-on-left abilities as the left-handed hitter hit one 428 feet off a left-handed pitcher.
Those two homers put the team ahead, 4-2, but it was Chourio's 391-foot leadoff blast that made postseason history as he officially has the most playoff home runs of any player before they turned 23 years old.
Uribe nearly blew it
This Brewers bullpen has been phenomenal all year long, but things were not looking good for the Brewers in the bottom of the sixth.
Robert Gasser was pulled after five scoreless innings, but then Uribe threw eight balls in his first nine pitches.
After striking out pinch-hitter Max Muncy, Murphy decided to leave the struggling, overused reliever in to face the left-handed Shohei Ohtani.
Knowing DL Hall was getting loose, that was quite the decision. Uribe walked Ohtani, and then allowed a two-run double to Will Smith, who was just 1-for-25 this postseason.
Thankfully, Hall got out of it with a pair of strikeouts, and then closer Trevor Megill got the job done with his second four-out save of the playoffs.
