The Dogers defeat the Cubs, 6 – 1, in Game 3 of the NLCS at Wrigley Field to move within one game of the World Series. Yu Darvish gives up a 1st-inning homer to Kyle Schwarber but then shuts down the Cubs until the 7th, when the bullpen takes over. Meanwhile, solo homers by Andre Ethier and Chris Taylor put the Dodgers ahead, and they seal the deal with a couple more runs on a triple by Taylor and a bases-loaded walk to Darvish, before adding a pair in the 8th.
