The Dodgers' three-peat bid is dead. Milwaukee swept Los Angeles in the NLCS with a 6-4 victory, ending any hope of back-to-back-to-back titles. The Brewers didn't just win. They outplayed the defending champs so decisively that the Dodgers had nothing to complain about afterward.
The Brewers dominated the series from start to finish. Los Angeles couldn't find answers offensively or defensively. Their pitching staff gave up runs when it mattered most. The Dodgers' offense never got in rhythm against Milwaukee's arms.
This wasn't a case of bad luck or close calls going the wrong way. The Brewers were the better team across four games. The Dodgers know it. Manager Dave Roberts and his players acknowledged they were beaten by a team that showed up ready to play. No excuses. No what-ifs. Just a sweep that ended their championship window, at least for this year.
Los Angeles won back-to-back titles in 2024. They won't make it three. The Brewers sent them home and advanced to the World Series. The Dodgers' run is over.
