Milwaukee Brewers Sweep Dodgers to Clinch National League Pennant, Advance to World Series

The Milwaukee Brewers secured their first World Series berth in 44 years by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in a four-game National League Championship Series. The Brewers defeated the Dodgers 6-4 in Game 4 on Thursday, with Jake Bauers earning NLCS MVP honors. This marks the first World Series in 35 years to feature two of MLB's smallest-spending teams, as Milwaukee will face either the Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays.
