The Milwaukee Brewers secured their first trip to the World Series in 44 years by completing a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. In the NFL, the Denver Broncos overcame an anemic offensive performance to defeat the Seattle Seahawks 17-14 in overtime.

How did the Brewers win the NLCS?

The Brewers rallied to overcome a 4-0 deficit in the final game, fueled by a home run from Garrett Mitchell in the sixth inning. David Hamilton later provided insurance with a solo shot in the ninth inning to seal the 6-4 victory.

Key highlights from the series included:

  • Jake Bauers earned NLCS MVP honors after going 4-for-14 during the series.
  • The Brewers overcame early leads held by the Dodgers in all four games.
  • Milwaukee became the first National League franchise to win a pennant after previously being the only NL team without a title in that circuit.

What happened in the Broncos vs. Seahawks game?

Despite a total offensive output of only 168 yards, the Denver Broncos relied on a dominant defensive performance to win. The unit sacked Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold five times and recorded two interceptions during the final three drives of the game.

While the defense excelled, quarterback Bo Nix struggled, completing 17 of 27 passes for 107 yards. This marked the first time since 1983 that the Broncos won a game while producing fewer than 175 total yards. The win brings Denver to a 4-2 record for the season.
