The giant has been conquered. The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers by defeating the reigning World Series champions 6-4 in Thursday's Game 4 to advance to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1982. "They may have a bunch of Hall of Famers, but we have a bunch of gamers. And the gamers won this week," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said postgame. Milwaukee will square off against the winner of the ALCS between the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays. The Brewers overcame an early four-run deficit Thursday, with Garrett Mitchell's go-ahead home run in the sixth inning proving to be the difference. "It's absolutely surreal," Mitchell told Fox Sports' Tom Verducci when asked about hitting the round-tripper that sent the Brewers to the World Series. "I don't really got words. I'm just so proud of our team. ... You talk about the battle-tested Brewers, man. We went down early, and the belief in that dugout got stronger and stronger. We fought our butts off and got back in here. "NLCS MVP Jake Bauers had three RBIs, and David Hamilton added a homer in the ninth off Dodgers right-hander Edwin Díaz.

LOS ANGELES -- A step shy of the left-center-field warning track, Jackson Chourio landed with the pennant-clinching final out tucked safely in his outstretched glove. He couldn’t help himself. He broke into an ear-to-ear smile, and just kept running. The Brewers poured out of their dugout and converged at the Dodger Stadium mound, setting off a party that soon moved to a podium in center field, then to a beer-soaked visiting clubhouse and, eventually, to an airplane bound for Milwaukee. Where, for the first time since 1982, the World Series will be played next week. For 363 days, the Brewers dreamed of a different ending. On Thursday night, they wrote it.

They beat Los Angeles, 6-4, on Thursday night, completing a stunning four-game sweep in the National League Championship Series. “They may have a bunch of Hall of Famers, but we’ve got a bunch of gamers,” said Brewers manager Pat Murphy. “And the gamers won this week.”The script?

Brewers sweep Dodgers to reach World Series for first time since 1982 - NBC News
The Milwaukee Brewers are headed to the 2026 World Series after they swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. The franchise, which has never won an MLB title, will be making its first appearance in the Fall Classic since 1982. Thursday’s result, a 6-4 Brewers victory in Game 4, ended the Dodgers’ hopes of earning dynasty status. Los Angeles entered the postseason as two-time defending champions, and a third straight title would have put it in rare air — the New York Yankees and the Oakland Athletics the only other teams to have accomplished such a feat. “We’re just happy for our fans and everybody that has been part of this organization and stuck with us over the years,” Brewers star Christian Yelich said on the Fox broadcast after the game. “We’ve been so close to this point so many times. To finally break through is a credit to our guys, our team. They stuck together and battled. We got down there early tonight, and we were like: ‘It’s going to be a great story when we win this. Stay together and start chipping away.’ And it’s exactly what they did.” Brewers third baseman David Hamilton rounds the bases after hitting a home run in the ninth inning
