The Milwaukee Brewers got their revenge against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they did so in historic fashion.
The [Milwaukee Brewers have done it](https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-news-milwaukee-sweep-dodgers-first-world-series-1982), exacting revenge in the best possible way against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who swept them in the 2025 edition of the National League Championship Series.
This time, the Brewers brought the broom, sweeping and dethroning Los Angeles in four games of the 2026 NLCS.
Across the four major pro sports leagues in North America, the Brewers became the first franchise since the late 1960s to write such an incredible revenge story.
“The@Brewers are the first MLB/NBA/NHL team to sweep an opponent that swept them in the previous postseason since the Lakers did so in the 1968 Western Division Finals against the Warriors,” OptaSTATS shared via social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
The Dodgers led fans to believe early on in Game 4 that a sweep wouldn't happen, with Los Angeles scoring all of the first four runs of the contest. [Shohei Ohtani ended his slump](https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-shohei-ohtani-finally-ends-slump-monster-3-run-hr-vs-brewers) with a two-run home run in the second inning, a strong sign there would be at least a fifth game in the series.
But the Brewers refused to go down, as they responded with six runs the rest of the way, while holding Los Angeles scoreless from the third to the ninth inning.
