Dodgers’ Kyle Tucker makes 1 thing clear with LA facing NLCS elimination

The Los Angeles Dodgers are one loss away from their season coming to an end, but outfielder Kyle Tucker remains optimistic. The team is currently trailing 3-0 in the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, falling into a deep hole. After the loss in Game 3, Tucker expressed his belief in the Dodgers' ability to overcome this deficit.

"This team has won four games before, so that's what we're going to have to do," he stated. "I believe in this group, the staff, the clubhouse and guys in here. I think if there's a team to do it, it's this team, but it's not going to come easy, obviously."

Tucker also acknowledged the Brewers' determination. "They want to win as well, so we've just got to come out and get after it tomorrow," he added. While history is not in Los Angeles' favor, with the 2004 Boston Red Sox being the only team to ever win a best-of-seven postseason series after falling behind 3-0, Tucker remains confident in his team.

The Dodgers are two-time defending World Series champions and had previously swept the Brewers in the NLCS last year. However, they have struggled with a lack of offensive production and runners in scoring position throughout the postseason. The Brewers, on the other hand, have excelled, with key hits from Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell in Game 3 and a bullpen that has been nearly unstoppable.

The Dodgers will have to regroup and score quickly in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium, while the Brewers aim to secure their first National League pennant.
