Dodgers collapse in Game 4 loss to Brewers, watch three-peat end with NLCS sweep

1 sources →

The Milwaukee Brewers completed a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2026 NLCS with a 6-4 victory at Dodger Stadium, ending the Dodgers' bid for a World Series three-peat. Despite an early 4-0 lead fueled by a Shohei Ohtani three-run home run, the Dodgers were overtaken as Milwaukee scored six unanswered runs. The loss marks the end of a dominant three-year run for Los Angeles and coincided with the retirement announcement of veteran infielder Miguel Rojas. The Brewers advanced to the World Series behind NLCS MVP Jake Bauers, while the Dodgers finished the series hitting .185 and going 5-for-43 with runners in scoring position across the postseason.
