Milwaukee erased a 4-0 deficit to beat the Dodgers 6-4 in Game 4 and sweep the NLCS, sending the defending champs home.
Milwaukee is headed back to the World Series for the first time in over four decades. The Brewers completed a stunning NLCS sweep of the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers with a 6-4 comeback win in Game 4 on Thursday, flipping a four-run deficit into a pennant.
The Dodgers jumped out to a 4-0 lead and looked ready to extend the series. Instead, the Brewers chipped away and then struck in the sixth, when Garrett Mitchell launched a go-ahead homer off reliever Tanner Scott. It was the swing that changed the night and shifted every ounce of momentum into the Milwaukee dugout.
The bullpen did the rest, shutting the door on one of baseball's most feared lineups. In the ninth, No. 9 hitter David Hamilton added insurance with a two-out solo shot off Edwin Díaz, stretching the lead to two runs. Hamilton hit just four home runs during the regular season, which made the blast even more improbable.
The sweep ends the Dodgers' title defense and sends Milwaukee into the Fall Classic for the first time since 1982. The Brewers will face the winner of the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians series for the championship.
