Jake Bauers battled Snell for 11 pitches before hitting a go-ahead two-run homer, followed by Garrett Mitchell's solo shot off a missed changeup. The Brewers, who had recorded five come-from-behind wins in their first seven postseason games, proved they could handle pressure rather than let their focus slip as Snell had predicted.
Reviewing the BrewThe glue that’s been holding it all together: Garrett Mitchell
Garrett Mitchell finally stayed healthy for a full 2026 season, playing 145 games for the Milwaukee Brewers after injuries limited him to just 141 games combined from 2022-2025. The center fielder posted solid defense with three errors and made key postseason contributions, including a go-ahead home run in recent games, though he struck out 12 times in the playoffs. Manager Pat Murphy noted that Mitchell's injury history had created uncertainty about the team's potential, but his availability this year allowed the Brewers to field their intended homegrown outfield alongside Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick.

MLB.com BrewersThe other Brewers outfielder who has quietly been incredibly clutch in his first two postseasons
Garrett Mitchell, the Brewers' 28-year-old center fielder, has emerged as a clutch performer in his limited postseason experience alongside Jackson Chourio. In Game 4 of the 2026 NLDS against San Diego, Mitchell went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI single, accounting for two of the Brewers' three runs in their series-clinching victory. He also made a crucial defensive play by robbing Manny Machado of a potential game-tying two-run homer in the eighth inning. Mitchell's performance follows a similar pattern from 2024, when he hit a go-ahead two-run homer in a Wild Card Series game against the Mets.
Reviewing the BrewGarrett Mitchell’s game-saving catch spurs moment of déjà vu for Brewers’ foe Manny Machado
The Milwaukee Brewers advanced to the NLCS as the No. 1 National League seed for the second straight year by defeating the San Diego Padres, with Garrett Mitchell's catch against the center field wall in Game 4's eighth inning proving decisive in preserving a 3-1 lead. Mitchell's robbery of Manny Machado echoed a similar moment from the 2017 World Baseball Classic when Adam Jones made a catch on Machado at the same ballpark. The Brewers' victory over a hot Padres team featuring Fernando Tatis Jr. and Machado sets up a rematch with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, a series the Brewers lost decisively last year.

Brew Crew BallUnsung hero from Brewers' NLDS victory over Padres creates difficult lineup decision going forward
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the San Diego Padres 3-1 in the NLDS, with standout performances from Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, Aaron Ashby, and Garrett Mitchell. Outfielder Sal Frelick emerged as an unsung hero despite not starting Game 1, collecting hits in all three games he played while scoring two runs, driving in two runs, drawing two walks, and stealing a base with just one strikeout. Frelick's strong performance creates a difficult decision for manager Pat Murphy heading into the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, as the 26-year-old has proven he deserves regular at-bats against right-handed pitchers despite being benched initially to start rookie Luis Lara against left-handed starter Robbie Ray in Game 1.
