NLCS Bound: Strong pitching, home run robbery by Mitchell leads Brewers to Game 4 win

The Milwaukee Brewers secured their spot in the NLCS with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over the San Diego Padres in Game 4 of the NLDS, wrapping up the series in four games. The Brewers’ offense finally broke through in the third inning when Sal Frelick reached base and stole second before Garrett Mitchell delivered an RBI single to center field, giving Milwaukee its first lead of the series.

However, Fernando Tatis Jr. quickly tied the game with a towering 429-foot home run to center, showcasing the Padres’ resilience.

The Brewers’ bullpen and starting pitcher Robert Gasser held firm in the late innings, with Gasser retiring the side on just 12 pitches in the second inning and later exiting after four strong frames. Meanwhile, the Padres’ lineup struggled to capitalize on early opportunities, including a missed double-play chance by Ty France in the first inning that allowed the inning to drag on.

The win sets up a rematch with the eventual NLCS opponent, continuing the Brewers’ playoff momentum after a dominant series performance.
