Milwaukee, WI – The Milwaukee Brewers are facing elimination in the National League Championship Series (NLCS) after falling behind 3-0 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Brewers suffered a 3-1 defeat in Game 3 of the NLCS on October 16, 2025, at Dodger Stadium, marking their third consecutive game in which they have managed to score only one run.
The Brewers now find themselves on the brink of being ousted from the playoffs, as they need to win the next four games to advance. The Dodgers are just one win away from clinching their second consecutive National League pennant. Game 4 of the NLCS is set for 7:38 p.m. on October 17, 2025, at Dodger Stadium and will be televised on TBS.
Throughout the series, the Brewers have scored a total of only three runs across the first three games, reflecting a significant struggle at the plate. Many of the Brewers hitters have not been able to capitalize on scoring opportunities, which was evident in their latest loss where they squandered key chances to put runs on the scoreboard.
Historically, it has been extremely challenging for teams to recover from a 0-3 deficit in postseason play; only one team, the 2004 Boston Red Sox, has ever completed such a comeback, ultimately going on to win the World Series that year.
Season Context
The Brewers have navigated a tumultuous journey throughout the 2025 season. Starting the season with a disappointing 0-4 record, the team has battled through injury challenges to secure a postseason berth. Remarkably, this marks the Brewers’ seventh appearance in the playoffs over the last eight years.
This season has been characterized by notable comebacks, including an impressive eight-game winning streak beginning on May 25 and a record-setting 14-game winning streak in August. The team displayed resilience and skill, with standout performances from players like rookie Caleb Durbin, who made game-changing plays, and promising pitching from prospects such as Jacob Misiorowski.
In addition to their playoff berth, the Brewers claimed the NL Central title for the fourth time in five years. Despite their successes throughout the season, the current postseason series against the Dodgers has tested the team’s mettle and ability to overcome the odds.
Upcoming Challenge
As the Brewers prepare for Game 4, they will need to make significant adjustments both offensively and defensively to keep their championship hopes alive. Any further slip-ups could result in their elimination from the playoffs, a scenario that would certainly not align with their aspirations following a strong regular season.
With the Dodgers poised to advance, the Brewers must rally together, regroup, and find a way to turn the tide in their favor if they wish to continue their quest for the championship.
