Garrett Mitchell hit a solo home run to give the Milwaukee Brewers their first lead of Game 4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series (NLCS). The home run occurred on October 15, 2026, during the fourth game of the series.
According to FOX Sports, Mitchell’s solo shot provided the Brewers with their initial advantage in the game. The broadcast noted that the home run was part of a sequence of five unanswered runs for Milwaukee. In the same game, Jake Bauers drew a bases-loaded walk to tie the score earlier in the contest, as reported by Sportsnet.
The Dodgers had previously taken a lead in Game 4 when Shohei Ohtani hit a three-run home run. FOX Sports reported that Ohtani’s home run extended the Dodgers' lead before the Brewers' subsequent rally.
The Brewers entered Game 4 with a 3-0 lead in the NLCS. This lead was established after Game 3, which the Brewers won 6-2. In that game, Jake Bauers hit a go-ahead home run after an 11-pitch at-bat against Dodgers starter Blake Snell. Jackson Chourio also hit a home run on the first pitch he saw from Snell in Game 3.
Robert Gasser, the Brewers' pitcher in Game 3, credited his team's grit for the win. "We’re a bunch of dirtbags out there," Gasser said, according to Sportsnet. The Brewers' manager, Pat Murphy, and other players reacted to the 3-0 lead following Game 3.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts addressed the 3-0 deficit after Game 3. He stated that he believes a comeback is possible, according to FOX Sports. The Dodgers' loss in Game 3 marked their third consecutive defeat in the series.
The Brewers are one win away from advancing to the World Series. The Dodgers face elimination if they lose Game 4. The series outcome will determine the National League representative in the championship round.
