Brewers roar back from 4 runs down to sweep Dodgers, reach first World Series since 1982

The Milwaukee Brewers have etched their name into history with a dramatic 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of the NLCS, completing a sweep and securing their first World Series appearance since 1982. Down 4-0 in the second inning after Shohei Ohtani’s solo homer, the Brewers staged an improbable comeback, fueled by clutch performances from Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell.

Bauers, who had already been pivotal in Games 2 and 3, delivered a two-run double in the fourth to halve the deficit, then drew a bases-loaded walk in the fifth to tie the game. Mitchell, who had never homered against left-handed pitchers in 286 career regular-season games, crushed a solo shot in the sixth to give Milwaukee the lead for good, while David Hamilton added a ninth-inning homer to seal the win.

The Dodgers, who entered the game needing an unprecedented comeback from a 3-0 deficit in a seven-game series, saw their offense stall entirely, managing just two hits with runners in scoring position all postseason—including Ohtani’s lone such hit in the series. The Brewers now advance to face either the Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays in the Fall Classic, set to begin October 23, with Milwaukee enjoying a full week of rest after leading the ALCS series 2-1.
