Milwaukee Sweeps The Champs: 3 Takeaways From The Brewers' Game 4 Win Over Dodgers

The Milwaukee Brewers made history by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, ending the defending champions' quest for a three-peat and securing their first World Series berth since 1982. The Brewers overcame a daunting four-run deficit in Game 4, showcasing their resilience and clutch performances.

Jake Bauers delivered another monumental at-bat, driving in two runs with a ground-rule double in the fourth inning after Brice Turang and William Contreras set the stage with key hits. The comeback continued in the fifth, with Sal Frelick and David Hamilton contributing crucial runs, forcing Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to pull starter Tyler Glasnow early.

Bauers sealed the win by drawing a walk against reliever Evan Phillips, tying the game and completing Milwaukee’s dominant postseason statement.

This victory marked the first time in MLB history a team swept a postseason series against the same opponent that had swept them the previous year. The Brewers’ ability to maintain composure under pressure—even after trailing by four runs—highlighted their consistency and depth, proving they belong among baseball’s elite.

Their postseason success finally matched the dominance they displayed throughout the regular season, silencing doubts about their October prowess for good.
