The Los Angeles Dodgers are heading back to the World Series. Behind dominant pitching, timely hitting, and another standout performance from Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in four games to win the National League Championship Series and capture their second straight NL pennant.
After a back-and-forth regular season, Los Angeles caught fire in October, sweeping through the NLCS with poise and power. The Dodgers outscored the Brewers 24–10 across the four-game set, closing the series with a convincing 6–2 win at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night.
Shohei Ohtani once again proved why he’s baseball’s biggest two-way star. In the clinching Game 4, Ohtani belted three home runs and struck out 10, becoming the first player in MLB history to do both in a postseason game. His dominance set the tone early, while Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts added crucial insurance runs late to seal the victory.
The Dodgers’ pitching staff also delivered, holding one of baseball’s best offenses in check. Walker Buehler and Tyler Glasnow combined for three wins in the series, while the bullpen allowed just three earned runs over 12 innings.
With the sweep, Los Angeles now heads to its second consecutive World Series, looking to defend last year’s title and continue its modern dynasty under manager Dave Roberts.
