Dodgers make the wrong kind of history in NLCS loss to Brewers

The Los Angeles Dodgers fell 6-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the NLCS, completing a sweep that left them with the dubious distinction of leading every game in a best‑of‑seven series yet losing each one – a first in MLB history. Reliever Alex Vesia surrendered a bases‑loaded walk that tied the game in the fifth inning, and the Dodgers’ costly offense managed only four runs despite numerous opportunities with runners in scoring position.

Milwaukee’s bullpen was dominant, allowing just two runs in 14 appearances, while the Brewers’ relievers accounted for all seven of their postseason victories with a 1.33 ERA. The Dodgers’ rotation, the most expensive ever assembled, posted a 6.50 ERA over 18 innings, and their bullpen posted a 4.50 ERA.

Max Muncy praised the Brewers’ relentless hitting, and manager Pat Murphy highlighted his team’s ability to bounce back after setbacks. Freddie Freeman noted missed chances, and Garrett Mitchell’s go‑ahead home run in the sixth sealed the Brewers’ win.
