Christian Yelich, Brewers Blank Walker Buehler, Dodgers to Take 2-1 NLCS Lead

The Milwaukee Brewers are back in control of the National League Championship Series thanks to a 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Monday's Game 3 at Dodger Stadium.

Starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin set the tone by allowing just three hits in 5.1 scoreless innings, and the bullpen combination of Corey Knebel, Joakim Soria, Josh Hader and Jeremy Jeffress shut the door to give Milwaukee a 2-1 series lead over the defending National League champions.

Orlando Arcia and Ryan Braun provided much of the offense with a two-run homer and RBI double, respectively, as Christian Yelich (1-for-3) and the Brewers chased Walker Buehler much like they did Clayton Kershaw in Game 1.
