Brewers sweep Dodgers to reach first World Series since 1982

–

Neutral summary

The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Thursday, completing a 4-0 sweep and reaching the World Series for the first time since 1982. The two-time defending champion Dodgers failed to win a third straight title. Shohei Ohtani gave the Dodgers a 4-0 lead with a 428-foot three-run homer, but the Brewers erased the deficit and took the lead on Garrett Mitchell's go-ahead homer in the sixth inning. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said: “We weren’t coming in to play patty-cake. We were hungry.” The Dodgers had the highest payroll in MLB history, but their star-studded lineup could not overcome the Brewers. The Brewers will face the winner of the series between the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays, with the Guardians leading 2-1. The World Series will open in Milwaukee on Oct. 23. NBC News noted that Ohtani had been unproductive after months of injuries and inconsistent play.
