Milwaukee Brewers Sweep Dodgers in NLCS, Reach First World Series in 44 Years
The Milwaukee Brewers have made history by sweeping the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in four games to advance to their first World Series since 1982. Milwaukee completed the remarkable NLCS victory with a thrilling 6-4 comeback win on Thursday night, securing its first National League pennant.
The achievement marks a new high point in Brewers history after years of steady progress. Milwaukee has reached the playoffs in eight of the last nine seasons, winning six NL Central titles during that stretch. The team also set a franchise record with 103 regular-season victories in 2026, surpassing its previous record of 97 wins in 2025.
The victory was especially meaningful after the Dodgers eliminated Milwaukee in the 2018, 2020 and 2025 postseasons. This time, the Brewers overcame Los Angeles' star-studded pitching staff and showed resilience throughout the series.
In Game 4, Milwaukee rallied from a 4-0 deficit after Shohei Ohtani's early home run. The Brewers scored four unanswered runs before Garrett Mitchell delivered the decisive home run to secure the pennant.
Now just four wins away from their first World Series championship, the Brewers have turned years of regular-season success into a historic postseason breakthrough.
