The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6–4 in NLCS Game 4 at Dodger Stadium on October 15, completing a four-game sweep. Garrett Mitchell’s sixth-inning solo home run broke a 4–4 tie and gave Milwaukee a lead it never surrendered. MLB’s final scoreboard confirms that the series is finished, rather than heading to a fifth game.
The result changes the meaning of the night’s biggest Dodgers highlight. Shohei Ohtani’s three-run homer helped Los Angeles take a four-run lead, but it did not keep the club’s season alive. For readers following Mitchell or checking whether a Dodgers comeback remained possible, the decisive story is how Milwaukee erased that advantage and protected its own.
From a four-run deficit to a tied game
Andy Pages drove in the first run in the second inning before Ohtani made it 4–0 with his home run. Milwaukee began its response in the fourth, when Jake Bauers’ ground-rule double scored two runs. David Hamilton’s fifth-inning RBI single brought the Brewers within one; Bauers then drew a bases-loaded walk to level the score.
Those were different ways of putting runs on the board: an extra-base hit, a single and a forced-in run. The sequence matters because Milwaukee had already removed the deficit before Mitchell came to the plate in the sixth. His home run was the go-ahead blow, rather than a hit that single-handedly recovered all four runs.
Mitchell supplied the lead; Ashby protected it
Mitchell homered off Tanner Scott to put Milwaukee ahead 5–4. The Dodgers did not score again after their four-run second inning, according to the official line score. Aaron Ashby covered the final three innings without allowing a run, with two hits allowed and three strikeouts, and earned the save.
Los Angeles still created chances: Pages doubled in the seventh, and Will Smith reached third after a double and an error in the eighth. Neither inning produced a run. Hamilton’s ninth-inning solo homer made the final margin 6–4. These plays show why both the go-ahead hit and the relief work belong in the explanation; the home run alone was not the whole finish.
