Orioles news: Happy trails to the two-time defending champs

The Milwaukee Brewers have ended the Los Angeles Dodgers' three-year reign as back-to-back World Series champions, clinching a dramatic four-game sweep in the National League Championship Series. The Brewers overcame a 4-0 deficit in Game 4 at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, rallying to win 6-4 and secure their first World Series berth since 1982.

With a dominant regular season record and clutch performances, the Brewers have positioned themselves as the favorites to finally break their long championship drought. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Guardians took a commanding 2-1 series lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALCS, defying expectations with a strong postseason run.

Game 4 of that series is set for tonight, though weather concerns in Cleveland could disrupt plans. The Brewers' victory also leaves the Baltimore Orioles as one of only two MLB teams with a longer World Series drought, alongside the Pittsburgh Pirates and Seattle Mariners.
