Story summary

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy declared his intention to compete with and potentially defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers in an upcoming National League Championship Series (NLCS) rematch. After the Brewers defeated the Padres in the NLDS on Wednesday night, Murphy stated, “We’re going to do our best to stay with them and beat them in 7 games.” The Brewers faced the Dodgers last year in the NLCS, where LA swept Milwaukee en route to a World Series title. However, this season, the Brewers have a record of 100 wins and feature Jacob Misiorowski as a leading Cy Young candidate, making them a strong contender against the defending champions. Both teams are expected to put up tough competition in what promises to be an intense series.
