Brewers sweep the Dodgers in the NLCS to reach the World Series for the first time since 1982

In Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, the Milwaukee Brewers secured a 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking their first trip to the World Series since 1982.

Garrett Mitchell broke the game open with a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning off Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott. Milwaukee's bullpen then sealed the winning run late in the game.

Shohei Ohtani's first postseason home run contributed to an early 4-0 Dodgers lead. However, the Brewers rallied back to tie the game in the fifth inning.

David Hamilton’s two-out solo shot in the ninth inning gave the Brewers a two-run lead. Mitchell had only hit four homers in the regular season.

The Brewers' bullpen shut down the Dodgers' attempts to tie the game. JoJo Romero, Aaron Ashby, and Will Smith all made crucial outs to secure the victory.

This win marked the Brewers' four-game sweep of the two-time defending World Series champions, following their previous sweep by the Dodgers in the NLCS.
