One win from World Series, these Milwaukee Brewers are simply 'remarkable'

The Milwaukee Brewers have defied expectations and history in their National League Championship Series (NLCS) against the Los Angeles Dodgers, securing a commanding 3-0 series lead after a 6-2 victory Wednesday night. The Brewers, playing in the smallest market in Major League Baseball, have silenced doubts by dominating the Dodgers, who were aiming for a third consecutive World Series title.

Their resilience is especially striking after being swept by the same team in last year’s NLCS without leading a single inning—a defeat that fueled their motivation for this season. With one more win, the Brewers will become only the second team in MLB history to overcome a postseason sweep by the same opponent the following year, joining the 1923 New York Yankees in achieving this rare feat.

The Dodgers, meanwhile, face an insurmountable deficit, as no team has ever recovered from a 3-0 hole in a best-of-seven series, and their chances of repeating as champions are now all but extinguished. The Brewers’ journey to the World Series for the first time in 44 years has been marked by perseverance, with manager Pat Murphy and players like Brice Turang and Sal Frelick drawing strength from past heartbreaks, including a wild-card loss to the Diamondbacks and a dramatic defeat to the Mets in 2024.
