Brewers Sweep Dodgers to Claim First NL Pennant and Reach World Series

The Milwaukee Brewers finished off the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 6-4 victory to complete a four-game sweep of the NLCS. Milwaukee overcame an early four-run deficit to secure the win and advance to the World Series for the first time since 1982.

Milwaukee's Rally and Late Insurance

The Brewers tied the game with four runs against the Dodgers starter, using a pair of ground-rule doubles along with five walks and two stolen bases. A solo homer in the sixth gave Milwaukee the lead, and another solo homer in the ninth provided extra breathing room. The club outhomered its opponent 7-1 across the series while finishing with a franchise-record 103 wins in the regular season.

First Pennant and Next Step

This marks the first NL pennant in club history after Milwaukee spent its prior World Series appearance as an American League member. The Brewers now stand among five active franchises still seeking a championship. Their World Series begins Oct. 23 at American Family Field.
