Brewers officially end Dodgers dynasty with ridiculous 6-4 comeback in game four to complete NLCS sweep

The 2026 NLCS was a complete mismatch , though, not in the way many fans expected.

Despite winning 103 games in the regular season and employing a series of players unexpectedly having the best years out of their career, many believed the Milwaukee Brewers were big underdogs heading into the series.

But through the first three games, it was the Los Angeles Dodgers who looked like an overmatched small market franchise flailing against the big-budget Brewers.

Milwaukee, riding a combination of impossibly good relief pitching, exceptionally, uh, unexpected outcomes on balls in play, home runs, and a penchant for turning every ball put in play into an out, took a commanding 3-0 series lead into game four on Thursday night.

In game two, they went 6-14 with runners in scoring position without a single hard-hit ball.

In game three, they scored five straight runs after falling behind entering the seventh inning to coast home with a 6-2 win.

Game four then, set up an opportunity for Milwaukee to reach their second-ever World Series and first since 1982.

For the Dodgers, it was the first of four win-or-go home games to try and save their dynasty and win a third straight championship.

For a few minutes at least, it seemed like they'd cruise toward forcing a game five on Friday night.

Against Milwaukee opener Shane Drohan, the Dodgers put together a quick rally.

Kyle Tucker led off with a single, forcing Brewers manager Pat Murphy to go to his bullpen and bring in Dustin May.

Teoscar Hernandez singled Tucker to third, and after Max Muncy struck out , Andy Pages finally came through with a runner in scoring position, lacing a single up the middle to give LA a 1-0 lead.

May got Kiké Hernandez to fly out, bringing up the Dodgers' struggling superstar, Shohei Ohtani .
