Which team did the Dodgers sweep in the 2025 NLCS?

The Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 National League Championship Series.

Los Angeles won the best-of-seven NLCS four games to none, earning the National League pennant and advancing to the World Series. The matchup was especially significant because Milwaukee had posted one of the National League’s strongest regular seasons and entered the series as a serious challenger.

The Dodgers took control early and finished the sweep with a 5–1 victory in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium. Shohei Ohtani supplied the decisive historic performance in that finale, hitting three home runs while also throwing six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts.

This was not the first postseason meeting between the clubs: Los Angeles and Milwaukee had also faced one another in the 2018 and 2020 playoffs. The 2025 result was much less competitive, however, as the Dodgers eliminated the Brewers without conceding a game. A frequent confusion is mixing up the NLCS with the World Series; the Brewers were swept before Los Angeles faced Toronto for the championship.
