  "account": "Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell both hit home runs off Blake Snell in the seventh inning to regain the lead for the Milwaukee Brewers, securing a 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers had just taken a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning before the surge. Snell had not allowed a run since his previous pitch, which was a home run by Jackson Chourio. Mitchell's solo shot was his final pitch. Andrew Vaughn started the seventh with a walk, and Christian Yelich pinch-ran for him. Bauers followed with a 412-foot shot to right field, leading to a 3-2 lead. Mitchell drove in the decisive run with a 428-foot shot to right-center. Snell faced four batters in the inning, striking out nine and walking two. The Brewers added two more runs in the eighth and ninth innings, extending their lead to 5-2. The Dodgers, who had only ever trailed 3-0 in a postseason series once before, were now at risk of elimination.",
