LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers pushed their National League Championship Series advantage to 3–0 with a 6–3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Oct. 16, 2025, at Dodger Stadium, leaving the club a single win shy of reaching the World Series for the second consecutive season.
After the Game 3 triumph, shortstop Mookie Betts referenced the late Kobe Bryant’s famous “job’s not done” remark from the 2009 NBA Finals. “Honestly, I have zero emotions,” Betts said. “We’re up, but like Kobe said — job’s not done. We have to keep going and keep applying pressure.”
The Dodgers are 8–1 in the 2025 postseason. They swept the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card round, eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies in four games during the NL Division Series and now have the opportunity to sweep Milwaukee. Amid league-wide discussion that Los Angeles’ payroll might spur future labor changes, Betts stressed that the team has not secured anything yet; five more victories are required to claim the franchise’s eighth World Series championship.
