LOS ANGELES - Shohei Ohtani reached base three times in a 1-for-2 outing after dropping to the No. 6 slot, but the Los Angeles Dodgers face being swept from the National League Championship Series following Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Brewers took a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series after turning the game around on a two-run homer by Jake Bauers and a back-to-back solo shot by Garrett Mitchell in the seventh inning at Dodger Stadium.
