The Milwaukee Brewers secured their first World Series appearance since 1982 by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. The Brewers rallied from an early deficit to win the decisive game 6-4, with key contributions from Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell. Their pitching staff held the Dodgers scoreless over the final seven innings, helping clinch the sweep.

The Brewers will open the World Series at home on October 23 against the winner of the American League Championship Series between the Cleveland Guardians and the Tampa Bay Rays. After a recent 3-2 victory by Cleveland, the Guardians hold a 2-1 lead in the ALCS.

The Brewers' achievement marks their first National League pennant and second overall World Series appearance, with their previous appearance in 1982 as an American League team.
