Milwaukee is going to the World Series. The Brewers completed a stunning four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers to claim the National League pennant, reaching the Fall Classic for the first time since nineteen eighty-two. Jake Bauers was named NLCS MVP after a dominant series, posting a four-twelve on-base percentage with a home run and six RBIs across four games. Forty-four years in the making, and Pat Murphy's squad is not waiting any longer.
Speaking of the Dodgers, Los Angeles now faces a massive offseason reset after falling short of a three-peat. The questions surrounding Shohei Ohtani's health and workload heading into next year will dominate the conversation, along with what moves the front office makes to reload a roster that simply ran out of answers against Milwaukee when it mattered most.
And shifting to the ice, Patrick Kane added another line to his legacy Thursday night in Chicago, recording an assist on a Connor Bedard goal to set the all-time record for assists by a United States-born player. It is a remarkable milestone for a future Hall of Famer who keeps finding ways to contribute even deep into his career.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
