Milwaukee Secures Pennant With a Sweep
The Milwaukee Brewers secured a spot in the world series 2026 by completing a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Propelled by resilient comebacks and a stellar bullpen performance, the team clinched a 6-4 victory in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series.
Garrett Mitchell delivered the decisive blow with a go-ahead home run in the sixth inning, while relief pitchers successfully closed out late-game threats at Dodger Stadium. Manager Pat Murphy praised the squad's competitive drive and fearlessness throughout the matchup.
Road to the Championship
Following a successful regular season where they topped the majors with 103 wins, the franchise earned its first National League pennant. Their only prior appearance in the championship finale occurred in 1982 when the team competed in the American League.
Despite falling behind early after a three-run homer by Shohei Ohtani, Milwaukee steadily chipped away at the deficit. Late heroics, including a ninth-inning solo home run from David Hamilton and scoreless relief pitching from Aaron Ashby and JoJo Romero, sealed the sweep.
Looking Ahead to the Opener
The team now enters a week of rest before hosting the opening games. Milwaukee will face either Cleveland or Tampa Bay when the series begins on Oct. 23.
