5 overlooked performances from Brewers' NLCS sweep of Dodgers

The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2026 NLCS, with Jake Bauers earning series MVP honors after recording six RBI and delivering clutch at-bats including a go-ahead home run in Game 3. Reliever Aaron Ashby emerged as another standout performer, pitching 6.2 scoreless innings with two saves and joining an exclusive group with a three-inning save in the series-clinching Game 4. Garrett Mitchell contributed two crucial home runs, hitting a solo shot immediately after Bauers' two-run homer in Game 3 and adding a go-ahead solo blast in Game 4 off left-handed pitchers. The sweep marked the Brewers' first pennant since 1982, with Cooper Pratt, David Hamilton, and JoJo Romero also making valuable contributions to the victory.
