The Brewers are now one win away from sweeping their way to the World Series. Despite their predicament, Dodgers fans packed Chavez Ravine on Wednesday night to support this team. Roberts recognized the fans and their energy after the loss.
“The fans were great tonight, they came out with energy from pitch one… we've got to give them something to cheer about,” Roberts said, via Dodgers Nation.
