Brewers embodied Harvey's Wallbangers to secure World Series trip over behemoth Dodgers

The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2026 NLCS to advance to the World Series for the first time since 1982, ending the Dodgers' bid for a third consecutive title. Manager Pat Murphy's team, which hit only the second-fewest home runs during the regular season, transformed into a power-hitting squad in the postseason, leading all teams with 10 homers. Garrett Mitchell's go-ahead solo homer in Game 4 proved decisive, with homers playing crucial roles in each of the Brewers' four consecutive victories over Los Angeles.
