Shohei Ohtani recorded a single after moving to the sixth spot in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ batting order, but the Dodgers lost 6-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series.
The defeat pushed Los Angeles closer to playoff elimination. The available information does not specify the series score or the Dodgers’ exact elimination scenarios, so the team’s position beyond that description is unclear.
Ohtani’s single was the only individual batting result provided. No further details were available about his other plate appearances, the inning in which he singled, or how the Dodgers produced their two runs. The reason for changing his place in the batting order was also not provided.
The reported result establishes a clear outcome for Game 3: Milwaukee won by four runs, 6-2. However, details about the Brewers’ scoring, pitching performances, other players’ contributions and the flow of the game were not included. The game date and location were not provided either.
With the loss, the Dodgers faced increased pressure in the series, according to the summary. The information provided does not say what happened in subsequent games or whether Los Angeles was ultimately eliminated. The known details are limited to Ohtani’s move to the sixth spot, his single, and the 6-2 result in the third game of the NLCS.
