TV – TBS, HBO MAX RADIO – ESPN Radio

The reigning World Series champion Dodgers are on the verge of a second-consecutive trip to the Fall Classic after taking a 3-0 series lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS on Thursday night with a 3-1 victory. Tyler Glasnow turned in 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball while striking out eight hitters, and the club’s bullpen shut down Milwaukee’s lineup from there. The Dodgers’ offense wasn’t potent either, as Jacob Misiorowski silenced their bats with nine strikeouts over five innings while allowing a single run in relief of Aaron Ashby, but it was enough to get one step closer to a sweep.

The Brewers will rely on Jose Quintana tonight, who has thrown three scoreless innings in relief so far this postseason, while Shohei Ohtani is set to start for the Dodgers. He has logged a 4.50 ERA with nine strikeouts this postseason, with his only outing coming in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Game Notes

• Since 2010, the NLCS has finished in a sweep just twice: the Mets accomplished that feat over the Chicago Cubs in 2015, and the Washington Nationals did so against the St. Louis Cardinals in 2019. The Dodgers would join that club with a victory at home tonight.
• Hall of Famer Joe Torre, who oversaw the New York Yankees’ 3-0 collapse in the 2004 ALCS against the Boston Red Sox as the club’s manager, called Brewers skipper Pat Murphy to provide some advice as the team looks to stave off elimination.
