Aaron Ashby: October demon 😈 https://t.co/yII53Mskfe Via @Brewers on X

What happened: Milwaukee takes a 2-0 NLCS lead into Game 3 in Los Angeles. Ashby handled bridge work after the early opener exit in the series.

Why it matters: His turnaround reverses a 7.71 ERA across 10 postseason games from 2021-25. Scoreless middle relief shortens games and preserves late-inning arms for a long series.

By the numbers: 2026 postseason: 9.1 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.54 WHIP, 2 H across 5 games. 2021-25 postseason: 9.1 IP, 7.71 ERA, 2.79 WHIP, 16 H, 10 BB, 10 K across 10 games. Series: Brewers lead 2-0 in NLCS.

What to watch: Game 3 is in Los Angeles. Milwaukee's use of Ashby in middle innings will show how it plans to close out road games.
