The LA Dodgers, who were aiming for a third consecutive World Series title, are now facing elimination after falling into a three-game losing streak in the National League Championship Series.

The team tried a drastic measure by dropping struggling star player Ohtani down to the 6th spot in the batting order, but it was to no avail.

After Ohtani, who has been in a severe slump since late in the season and was moved down to the 6th batting position, reached base with a walk in the 6th inning, Will Smith smashed a two-run double to turn the game around, sending Dodger Stadium into a frenzy.

However, the joy of the comeback did not last long.

In the 7th inning, Milwaukee's Bowers hit a go-ahead two-run homer, followed by Mitchell hitting back-to-back home runs, silencing the home fans.

With a 6-2 victory extending their winning streak to three games, Milwaukee is now just one win away from advancing to the World Series.
