The Brewers completed a four-game sweep of the Dodgers to win the NL pennant and reach the World Series for the first time since 1982.
In Game 4 of the NLCS, Garrett Mitchell hit a go-ahead homer off reliever Tanner Scott in the sixth inning, and Milwaukee's bullpen slammed the door late as the Brewers rallied past the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4.
