Good morning, Mets fans!
The three-peat hope is dead. The Milwaukee Brewers are headed to their first World Series since 1982 after rallying from a four-run deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 and complete a National League Championship Series sweep on Thursday. Garrett Mitchell hit the go-ahead solo homer in the sixth inning, while Milwaukee’s relentless offense erased an early 4-0 hole sparked by Shohei Ohtani’s three-run homer.
The Brewers’ dominant bullpen held off the Dodgers down the stretch, ending their bid for a third consecutive championship. After winning a franchise-record 103 games during the regular season, Milwaukee will now pursue its first World Series title, beginning Oct. 23 at American Family Field against either the Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays.
The ALCS continues at 8 p.m. ET Friday with Cleveland leading the series 2-1.
