Milwaukee Rallies Past Los Angeles 6-4 to Complete Four Game NLCS Sweep

Brewers Sweep Dodgers to Reach First World Series Since 1982

The Milwaukee Brewers are heading to the World Series for the first time in 44 years after completing a four game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 6-4 victory in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Thursday night.

Garrett Mitchell delivered the decisive blow with a go ahead home run off Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott in the sixth inning, helping Milwaukee erase an early four run deficit and eliminate the two-time defending World Series champions. The Brewers’ bullpen then shut the door late to secure the comeback and send Milwaukee to its first Fall Classic since 1982.

David Hamilton added an important insurance run in the ninth inning, crushing a two-out solo home run off reliever Edwin Díaz to give the Brewers a two run cushion. Hamilton, who batted ninth in Milwaukee’s lineup, had hit just four home runs during the regular season, making his timely postseason blast even more significant.

Dodgers Strike Early Before Brewers Mount Comeback

Los Angeles appeared to be in control early, with Shohei Ohtani launching his first home run of the postseason to help the Dodgers build a 4-0 lead. The defending champions looked poised to extend their season and force the series back to Los Angeles.

Milwaukee refused to fold, gradually working its way back into the game before Mitchell’s sixth-inning homer put the Brewers in front. The comeback showcased the team’s resilience and ability to deliver in the biggest moments against one of baseball’s most accomplished postseason teams.

With the lead in hand, Milwaukee’s bullpen took over, limiting the Dodgers’ opportunities to mount another rally. Hamilton’s ninth inning homer provided valuable breathing room as the Brewers closed out the 6-4 victory and celebrated a historic series sweep.

Brewers Make History With First World Series Trip Since 1982

The series victory marks a major milestone for the Brewers, who last reached the World Series in 1982, when the franchise was still competing in the American League. Milwaukee lost that seven-game series to the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, in its only previous World Series appearance.

The Brewers’ return to the Fall Classic comes one year after suffering a sweep at the hands of the Dodgers in the NLCS. This time, Milwaukee turned the tables, knocking out the reigning champions in four games and earning a chance to compete for the franchise’s first World Series title.

For a team that has spent decades pursuing another opportunity on baseball’s biggest stage, the sweep represents the culmination of a remarkable postseason run. Milwaukee now awaits its World Series opponent, with the franchise looking to finish the job and capture its first championship.
