The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 in Game 4 to sweep the National League Championship Series.

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 on Thursday in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, sweeping the two-time defending World Series champions to secure their first World Series appearance since 1982.

Garrett Mitchell hit a go-ahead solo homer off reliever Tanner Scott in the sixth inning with the score tied 4-all. Mitchell, who also homered in the Brewers' 6-2 victory Wednesday, hit a 409-foot drive to centre field after falling behind 0-2 in the count. David Hamilton, hitting in the ninth spot, added a two-out solo shot off Edwin Díaz in the ninth inning to give Milwaukee a two-run cushion. Hamilton had hit just four home runs during the regular season.

Shohei Ohtani's first postseason home run had helped put the Dodgers ahead 4-0 early. The Brewers rallied to complete their comeback, with their bullpen turning away multiple late threats. JoJo Romero struck out Max Muncy with Kyle Tucker at third to end the sixth inning.

This is the Brewers' second World Series appearance. They lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games in their only other such appearance, when the franchise played in the American League.
