Tyler Glasnow had eight outs, Tommy Edman hit an RBI single in the sixth inning and Los Angeles Dodgers led the National League Championship Series with a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday.
Mookie Betts hit an RBI double in the first inning and Rocky Sasaki picked up his third save of the postseason as the Dodgers never trailed en route to a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series with Game 4 in Los Angeles on Friday.
Glasnow gave up one run on three hits over five and two-thirds innings with three walks and allowed one run in three postseason appearances (13 and one-third innings).
Jacob Misiorowski had nine strikeouts in five innings of relief for the Brewers and Jake Bowers had an RBI single as MLB's top regular-season team moved one loss away from the postseason.
After one called call with a runner in scoring position in the first two games of the series, Milwaukee went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position in Game 3.
The Dodgers wasted no time getting on the scoreboard. Shohei Ohtani hit Aaron Ashby's fifth pitch with a triple to right field, then scored one pitch later when Betts doubled to right-center.
The Brewers tied the game in the second inning when Caleb Durbin tripled to left and Bowers followed with an RBI single.
Misiorowski dominated immediately after replacing left-hander Aaron Ashby (0-1) in the first inning. He ended the frame with strikeouts from Edman and Teoscar Hernandez. Misiorowski allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits with one walk.
Will Smith singled with one out in the sixth against Misiorowski, and Freddie Freeman followed with a walk. Edman's single to center field scored Smith, and Freeman moved to third and then scored when right-hander Abner Uribe made an errant pickoff throw to first base.
Things only got worse for Milwaukee when leadoff hitter Jackson Churio left the team during a run in the seventh inning with a right leg injury.
Los Angeles' bullpen allowed no runs as Alex Vecia (2-0) and Blake Treinen each walked two-thirds of an inning, Anthony Banda pitched a scoreless eighth and Sasaki was a perfect ninth.
