Brewers eliminate Padres with Game 4 win, advance to NLCS
Garrett Mitchell tripled and made a key catch as Milwaukee held San Diego to 3 hits and snapped a 12-game road playoff skid.
On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the San Diego Padres 3-1 in Game 4 of the National League Division Series at Petco Park, advancing to the National League Championship Series for the second consecutive season.
Entering the contest with a 2-1 series lead, Milwaukee relied on consistent pitching and timely hitting. The victory snapped a 12-game postseason road losing streak dating back to 2018.
Outfielder Garrett Mitchell tripled and scored the tiebreaking run in the fifth inning before robbing Padres third baseman Manny Machado of a potential game-tying home run in the eighth. Star left fielder Jackson Chourio drove in multiple runs.
Advancing to the best-of-seven National League Championship Series, the Brewers will face the Los Angeles Dodgers, who eliminated the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Wednesday to secure their own spot.
Game 1 of the National League Championship Series begins on Sunday, October 11, at American Family Field in Milwaukee, where the Brewers hold home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
