Milwaukee downs the Dodgers in L.A. to take a 21 series lead

The Milwaukee Brewers have taken a two-games-to-one lead in the MLB National League Championship Series.

Jhoulys Chacin combined with four relievers on a five-hitter as the Brewers shut out the Dodgers, 4-0 in Los Angeles on Monday.

Chacin allowed Milwaukee to take a four-run lead by limiting the defending NL champs to three hits over 5 1/3 innings.

Jeremy Jeffress had another rocky performance before closing out the win, striking out Yasmani Grandal and pinch-hitter Brian Dozier with the bases loaded.

All the scoring came off Walker Buehler, who allowed just five hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings.

Game 4 is Tuesday in L.A.
