Blake Snell Stumbles in Seventh Inning of NLCS Game 3 Defeat

Blake Snell struck out nine and carried six strong scoreless innings before unraveling in the seventh inning of Game 3 against Milwaukee. Snell walked Andrew Vaughn before surrendering back-to-back home runs to lefties Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell, marking the first time in his career he gave up consecutive homers to left-handed hitters. Manager Dave Roberts defended keeping Snell in at 101 pitches, though the 6-2 loss put Los Angeles down 3-0 in the NLCS.
