Even a four-run lead wasn’t good enough against the Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers completed a stunning four-game postseason sweep to eliminate the defending champions, overcoming an early four-run deficit at Dodger Stadium. After falling behind following an early RBI hit by Andy Pages and a subsequent three-run homer by Shohei Ohtani off starting pitcher Dustin May, the visitors steadily clawed their way back against Tyler Glasnow and the bullpen.

Key contributions included ground-rule doubles from William Contreras and Jake Bauers, followed by an RBI single from David Hamilton to narrow the gap before a bases-loaded walk forced in the tying run. Garrett Mitchell then delivered the decisive blow in the sixth frame, driving a go-ahead solo shot off reliever Tanner Scott to secure the series victory.

Manager Dave Roberts and relievers Evan Phillips and Alex Vesia ultimately could not hold the lead, ending the Los Angeles quest for a consecutive title run.
