  "account": "In the seventh inning of a crucial National League Championship Series game, Milwaukee Brewers' Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell hit back-to-back home runs off Los Angeles Dodgers' pitcher Blake Snell. This marked a turning point in the game, as the Brewers seized the lead and went on to defeat the Dodgers 6-2, establishing a 3-0 advantage in the series. Los Angeles had narrowly secured a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning before succumbing to the Brewers' comeback. Milwaukee's manager, Pat Murphy, emphasized the team's resilience, stating that they often equalize when the opposing team scores. The game was a stark contrast to last year's NLCS, during which the Dodgers dominated Milwaukee 4-0. Only once in league history has a team come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series – the Boston Red Sox's victory over the New York Yankees in 2004. The Brewers, coming off a 3-0 deficit in the prior postseason, are now pursuing their second pennant and first in the National League. Snell had previously retired 14 consecutive batters before his setback in the seventh. The Dodgers, who had not homered in the NLCS, failed to capitalize on runners in scoring position, ultimately falling short in the face of the Brewers' relentless defense and clutch hitting.",
  "summary": "Los Angeles had just taken a 2-1 lead in the sixth before getting stunned. The loss pushed the two-time defending World Series champions to the brink of elimination.",
