"Coming off six scoreless innings against the Philadelphia Phillies, Snell again rose to the occasion in a road environment. He held the Brewers without a hit until Caleb Durbin's leadoff single in the third inning, and that was their lone baserunner of the night against him. Snell relied one a steady dose of changeups and fastballs, and mixed in enough curveballs to keep the Brewers off balance and collect 10 strikeouts over his eight shutout innings. The outing was Snell's longest of his postseason career."
"The Dodgers needed every bit of Snell's brilliance as they didn't break through until Freddie Freeman's home run in the sixth inning. Though, they came close in the fourth and would have taken a lead at that point if not for a spectacular effort by Sal Frelick and mass confusion from the Dodgers on the basepaths. Frelick not only robbed Muncy of a grand slam, but his attempt at a leaping catch turned into a 404-foot inning-ending double play."
"Prior to Freeman's homer, the Brewers were successfully navigating a bullpen game started by Aaron Ashby as the opener. Quinn Priester worked around three hits and three walks to provide four scoreless innings in a bulk role. The Brewers used six pitchers to get through the game. Among them was Abner Uribe, who walked Mookie Betts with the bases loaded to gift the Dodgers a run in the ninth"
Blake Snell threw eight shutout innings, recording 10 strikeouts and holding the Brewers to a single baserunner after Caleb Durbin's third-inning leadoff hit. Snell mixed changeups, fastballs and curveballs and retired the final 17 batters, becoming the first pitcher to face the minimum through eight postseason innings since Don Larsen in 1956. The Dodgers scored on Freddie Freeman's sixth-inning home run and later received a run when Abner Uribe walked Mookie Betts with the bases loaded in the ninth. Milwaukee opened with Aaron Ashby and used Quinn Priester for four scoreless bulk innings, but deployed six pitchers overall. Sal Frelick robbed a potential grand slam and turned the play into an inning-ending double play.
