Who Won Game 4 of Dodgers vs. Brewers?

Final score details

The Dodgers clinched the NLCS with a 5‑1 victory over the Brewers on October 17, 2025. According to the CBS Sports box score, Milwaukee managed just one run on five hits while Los Angeles pounded nine hits. Shohei Ohtani delivered a historic performance, launching three home runs and striking out ten batters in a complete-game effort from the mound.

Game context (NLCS)

Game 4 was the final act of a sweep that made the Dodgers only the fifth team ever to win an NLCS in four straight games, as noted in CBS Sports’ coverage. Los Angeles had never swept an NLCS in their previous 16 appearances.

Bottom line: Ohtani’s three‑home‑run, ten‑strikeout game gave the Dodgers the clincher, while Milwaukee’s 11‑game road postseason losing streak continued.

Who Is Favored, Brewers or Dodgers?

Current odds and predictions

Heading into the NLCS, sportsbooks consistently listed the Dodgers as favorites. ESPN’s MLB betting analyst noted that Los Angeles had stronger postseason experience and deeper pitching. CBS Sports published a prediction for Game 4 that favored the Dodgers by 1.5 runs.

Factors affecting the line

Key factors included the Dodgers’ star‑heavy lineup (Ohtani, Freeman, Mookie Betts) and the Brewers’ reliance on young arms like Jacob Misiorowski. The Brewers’ regular‑season 6‑0 dominance over Los Angeles did not translate into betting value, as the oddsmakers correctly anticipated a Dodgers sweep.

The implication: betting lines for future Dodgers‑Brewers matchups will likely continue to favor Los Angeles given the talent gap exposed in the NLCS.

What Are the Key Player Stats from the Dodgers vs Brewers Match?

Batting statistics

Shohei Ohtani’s 2026 season slash line of .272/.402/.473 (reported by CBS Sports) underscores his elite production as both a hitter and pitcher. Freddie Freeman batted .261 for the 2026 season, according to CBS Sports. In the NLCS alone, Ohtani went 5‑for‑12 with three home runs and seven RBIs across Games 3 and 4.

Pitching statistics

Yoshinobu Yamamoto recorded 69 strikeouts in the 2026 regular season (Yahoo Sports), while Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski led all NL rookies with 108 strikeouts (Yahoo Sports). In Game 1 of the NLCS, Blake Snell earned the win, improving to 3‑0 on the season, with a save by Blake Treinen, both reported by ESPN.

The pattern: Milwaukee’s regular-season strikeout leader struggled with command in the postseason, while Los Angeles’s veteran arms delivered when it mattered.

Which Players Have Dominated the Dodgers‑Brewers Rivalry?

Top hitters

Ohtani’s three‑home‑run performance in Game 4 tied an NLCS record for most home runs in a single game. Over the four‑game set, the Dodgers’ lineup out‑hit the Brewers 32‑14, a disparity detailed in the Wikipedia composite line score.

Top pitchers

Blake Snell’s playoff pedigree shone in Game 1, where he allowed one earned run over six innings. Misiorowski, despite his massive strikeout total, struggled with command in his NLCS start, walking four batters in 4.1 innings. The Brewers’ bullpen collectively posted a 5.40 ERA in the series, according to data compiled by MLB.com.

The paradox

The Brewers owned the regular‑season head‑to‑head, but their young pitchers — so dominant across 162 games — couldn’t replicate that success when facing the Dodgers’ experienced postseason hitters.

Key Quotes from the Series

“Snell spectacular and Dodgers barely hold on in 9th…”

– ESPN recap of Game 1

“Yamamoto shines in Milwaukee again as Dodgers defeat Brewers 5‑1”

– CBS Sports on the May 24, 2026 game

“The Dodgers are just one win away from returning to the World Series after taking a 3‑0 NLCS lead.”

– MLB.com after Game 3

“This is only the fifth sweep in NLCS history – and the first ever for the Dodgers.”

– CBS Sports Game 4 coverage

The 2025 NLCS exposed a fundamental truth about playoff baseball: regular‑season dominance does not guarantee postseason success. The Brewers swept the Dodgers in six regular‑season meetings, but when the lights shone brightest, Los Angeles’ star power – from Ohtani’s historic game to Snell’s shutdown pitching – proved insurmountable. For Milwaukee, the path forward requires bridging the gap between their promising young arms and the composure needed on October’s biggest stage. For Dodgers fans, the sweep signals a championship‑caliber roster that can overwhelm any opponent, regardless of head‑to‑head history.
