The Los Angeles Dodgers moved to within one win of returning to the World Series on Thursday, defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their best-of-seven playoff series.
Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts and second baseman Tommy Edman both drove in runs while starter Tyler Glasnow recorded eight strikeouts in 5.2 innings in front of 51,251 fans at Dodger Stadium.
The result leaves the Brewers needing to stage a near-miraculous comeback in the National League Championship Series to keep their World Series hopes alive.
