Brewers Manager Pat Murphy Explains 'Most Gratifying Part' Of Dodgers Sweep

The Milwaukee Brewers completed an improbable postseason turnaround by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, capping off a historic season that saw them overcome a dominant Dodgers rotation. The Brewers, who had lost to Los Angeles in the same round last year, faced a formidable lineup that included two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell, 2025 World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and All-Star Tyler Glasnow, yet held the Dodgers to just 11 runs across the series.

Manager Pat Murphy praised his team’s resilience, noting their ability to claw back from deficits in every game, a trait that defined their gritty postseason performance. Offensively, the Brewers led MLB in hits, on-base percentage, and batting average, with standout contributions from Brice Turang (100 RBIs, 7.3 WAR) and William Contreras (94 RBIs, three postseason homers).

Despite a modest 154 home runs, their balanced attack—highlighted by Jake Bauers’ career-high 26 homers and Jackson Chourio’s clutch postseason single—proved decisive in their championship push.
