Underwhelming performance from Brewers' starting duo makes NLCS sweep of Dodgers even more impressive

The Brewers swept the Dodgers in the NLCS to reach the World Series for the first time since 1982, despite subpar performances from their two starting pitchers. Jacob Misiorowski threw 94 pitches in just 4.1 innings in Game 1, allowing five hits and three walks while his fastball lacked the velocity it had during the regular season due to late-season fatigue. Logan Henderson made his second career postseason start in Game 2, allowing two earned runs on two walks and three hits in four innings, including a first-inning wild pitch and a throwing error on a pick-off attempt. Neither pitcher met the high expectations set for them during the regular season, yet the Brewers' overall performance was strong enough to defeat the back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers.
