Brewers shock Dodgers: A historic upset!
24 Oct
Summary
- Brewers achieve first World Series berth in 44 years.
- Dustin May finds new meaning in potential Brewers title.
- Dodgers' three-peat bid ends with four-game sweep.
The 2026 MLB postseason saw a historic upset as the low-payroll Milwaukee Brewers eliminated the Los Angeles Dodgers in four games to reach the World Series for the first time in 44 years. This dramatic conclusion ended the Dodgers' bid for a third consecutive championship.
For pitcher Dustin May, who was part of the Dodgers' 2020 World Series victory, this Brewers playoff appearance carries profound personal significance. May expressed that winning with Milwaukee would mean more than his previous title, especially given the career-threatening injuries and uncertainty he faced two years ago in 2024.
May's journey included being traded from the Dodgers to the Boston Red Sox following a 2024 injury setback. He later played for the St. Louis Cardinals before being acquired by the Brewers at the trade deadline this season. His return to the playoffs marks a personal milestone after a challenging period in his career.
