ATLANTA – That road magic is going to need to kick in quickly, or the Milwaukee Brewers are going to be one series and done in the 2021 postseason.
With their bats a continuing no-show, it was one fifth-inning mistake by Adrian Houser that determined the outcome in a 3-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the National League Division Series at Truist Park on Monday afternoon.
Joc Pederson hit a three-run, pinch-hit home run off the Brewers right-hander, and it was a blow that proved more than enough to down a Milwaukee team that has now, embarrassingly, been shut out by identical scores in consecutive games.
