LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — Garrett Mitchell led off the sixth inning with a home run off Tanner Scott, and the Milwaukee Brewers came back from a 4-0 deficit to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 on Thursday night, completing a four-game sweep of the National League Championship Series.
The Brewers are going to the World Series for the first time since 1982, and for the first time as a National League team. Their only other trip came as an American League club, a seven-game loss to St. Louis.
Shohei Ohtani's three-run homer off Dustin May made it 4-0 in the second, his first home run since Aug. 18. Milwaukee cut it in half in the fourth on back-to-back doubles by William Contreras and Jake Bauers, then tied it in the fifth on David Hamilton's RBI single and Bauers' bases-loaded walk. Hamilton added a solo homer off Edwin Díaz in the ninth. Aaron Ashby got the final nine outs, and three Brewers relievers held the Dodgers scoreless over the last seven innings.
Bauers, who drove in six runs in the series, was named NLCS MVP. Game 1 of the World Series is Friday, Oct. 23, at American Family Field against the winner of the ALCS, where Cleveland leads Tampa Bay 2-1.
Swept out of Dodger Stadium a year ago, the Brewers returned the favor four straight times.
