The Milwaukee Brewers advance to the NLCS after defeating the San Diego Padres 3-1 in Game 4 of the NL Division Series, finishing the best-of-five series and ending San Diego’s postseason run. The clinching win comes at Petco Park, where Milwaukee takes a trip to the next round and sets up another matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Across the outlets, the focus is on Milwaukee’s ability to win close games through pitching and timely hitting. Multiple reports highlight the strength of the Brewers’ pitching staff in limiting the Padres, along with key contributions from players such as Jackson Chourio in driving in runs during pivotal moments. One outlet also notes the series reflects a rare occurrence in the teams’ NLDS matchups, referencing it as the first of its kind since 1915.
With the NLCS rematch against the Dodgers set, the common agreement among sources is that Milwaukee’s margin of victory in Game 4—plus its performance across the series—decisively eliminates the Padres and advances the Brewers toward their first pennant since 1982.
