Ashley Landis/The Associated PressGarrett Mitchell hit a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning, Milwaukee’s brilliant bullpen slammed the door late and the Brewers rallied past the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 on Thursday in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series to earn their first World Series trip since 1982. No. 9 hitter David Hamilton’s two-out solo shot off Edwin Díaz gave the Brewers a two-run cushion in the ninth. Hamilton had just four homers in the regular season. “We got down early tonight and we were like, it’s going to be a great story,” Brewers captain Christian Yelich said. “We’re going to come back and win this. Like, stay together, start chipping away. And that’s exactly what they did.”Aaron Ashby pitched three scoreless innings for a save as the Brewers erased a four-run deficit to win their first NL pennant and second overall.

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. The two-time defending champion Dodgers have been dethroned. For the first time in 44 years, the Brewers are heading to the World Series. 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? Familiar enough. An NLCS sweep culminating at Dodger Stadium.

Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
