Brilliant Brewers reach first World Series since 1982 as Dodgers blow 4-0 lead
NLCS Game 4: Brewers 6-4 Dodgers Defending champions swept out of playoffs Milwaukee roar back from four runs down Brewers will face Rays or Guardians in World Series Jake Bauers started the Brewers’ comeback with a two-run double and Garrett Mitchell hit a go-ahead home run to deliver a 6-4 victory
What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead with the Brewers’ sweep of the Dodgers and their first World Series trip since 1982, and both foreground the comeback against a 4-0 deficit. The Guardian US adds a game score, names Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell, and notes the Brewers will face the Rays or Guardians, while NPR emphasizes the bullpen and repeated comebacks and is the only one to describe the Dodgers as two-time defending champions.
