BREWERS SWEEP: Milwaukee Eliminates Defending Champs, Reaches World Series...

Milwaukee's 1982 World Series appearance remains the franchise's only trip to the championship series in the modern era, making any return to October's biggest stage a rare milestone. The Brewers' sweep eliminates Los Angeles from contention and sends Milwaukee to face the American League champion. The team's path back to the World Series after four decades represents a significant achievement for a mid-market franchise that has cycled through rebuild phases and struggled to sustain playoff success in recent years.
