The Milwaukee Brewers entered their 2026 NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers with one goal: to avenge their 2025 defeat, during which the Dodgers swept them and won their second consecutive World Series title. The Brewers' manager, Pat Murphy, noted the team's change in mentality since then, as highlighted by pitcher Blake Snell.
Despite being down by four runs in the second inning of Thursday's game, the Brewers refused to be rattled and mounted a comeback to secure a 6-4 victory, completing the sweep of the Dodgers. While the Brewers boast one of the most talented rosters in MLB, manager Pat Murphy emphasized that building a championship team goes beyond merely acquiring the best players.
He recognized the immense challenge faced by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who must lead the team to win the whole thing or risk failure. The Dodgers' substantial payroll and plans for further offseason improvements led to questioning whether MLB fans would show much sympathy for them. However, the Brewers' success in this series serves as a testament to their determination and effective utilization of their limited resources.
With just four more games remaining in the series, the Brewers are well on their way to achieving their goal of winning the championship.
