One year after sweeping the Brewers in the NLCS, the Dodgers were swept away in 2026 by Milwaukee in four games, including the final two losses at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

In both games at home, the Dodgers had a lead and the Brewers came back. Blake Snell had a great start until he didn’t, Tyler Glasnow retired 10 straight to open Game 4 but recorded only four more outs. Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers figured prominently all series, and he won NLCS MVP.

The Dodgers offense had fits all series, scoring only 11 runs in four games, struggling especially against Aaron Ashby and the back end of the Brewers bullpen.

Shohei Ohtani was adamant he was healthy enough to play and close to figuring things out, and Dave Roberts backed him. Ohtani reached base twice in Game 3 and homered in Game 4, the Dodgers’ only home run of the series. Ohtani was asked if any offseason surgeries might be needed for his knee and biceps, and he said it’s “hard to tell at this point.”

Also, Miguel Rojas retired after 13 seasons as a player. He’ll move into the Dodgers front office in some capacity.

The first two games in Milwaukee were close, but the Dodgers dropped them both in excruciating fashion, and trail the National League Championship Series two games to none.

Tarik Skubal allowed two runs in Game 1 but the Dodgers only scored once. Yoshinbou Yamamoto recorded only eight outs in Game 2, felled by a 12-pitch walk and 36 pitches in his final frame.

Brewers keep getting the big hit while the Dodgers cannot. They might not have scored in Game 2 at all were it not for starting pitcher Logan Henderson making two throwing errors and a wild pitch that led to four runs.

Shohei Ohtani looks lost at the plate and might sit as early as Game 3. Though nobody in the NLCS led by more than one run until the eighth inning of Game 2, the Dodgers look like they are playing uphill against the Brewers.

Back at Dodger Stadium, Blake Snell starts Game 3 for the Dodgers on Wednesday against Brewers left-hander Robert Gasser. Tyler Glasnow starts Game 4, and should the series last that long, Skubal will start Game 5.

The Dodgers beat the Braves in Games 3 and 4 in Atlanta to clinch the 2026 National League Division Series.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the star of Game 3, with 10 strikeouts in seven innings to win his fifth straight postseason appearance, all on the road. Dodgers October stalwart Kiké Hernández homered off Chris Sale in Game 3, as did a resurgent Freddie Freeman.

In Game 4, Tyler Glasnow walked five but allowed only one run, and the bullpen got the final 13 outs, five of them by Edgardo Henriquez, and Edwin Díaz picked up his second save in a row, looking like his usual self after a season of injuries.

Andy Pages had the game-winning two-run single in the clinching Game 4, turning things around after a disastrous postseason at the plate in 2025.

Manager Dave Roberts after the NLDS has 72 career postseason wins, surpassing Tony La Russa for second-most all-time, now a dozen wins behind Joe Torre.

The Dodgers and Braves split the first two games of the National League Division Series at Dodger Stadium, with one good start by Tarik Skubal in Game 1 and a bad start by Blake Snell in Game 2.

We talk the good (home runs!) and bad (no hits with runners in scoring position) of the Dodgers offense in two games, plus concerns about Shohei Ohtani.

Also, the Dodgers failed to capitalize on two Braves bullpen games, with bulk relievers Dylan Dodd, Ray Kerr, and Didier Fuentes standing out for Atlanta in particular. Fuentes finished one out shy of allowing Eric to witness a postseason four-inning save in person.

The NLDS now heads to Atlanta, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Chris Sale lined up for an epic pitching matchup in Game 3, followed by Tyler Glasnow and Tyler Mahle in Game 4. The Dodgers need to win at least once in Atlanta to play another postseason game at home.

Dodgers owner Mark Walter is under federal investigation for some of his insurance companies failing to report related transactions between companies each with ties to Walter.

Walter has since sold the Lakers and his stake in Chelsea Football Club, but he insists the Dodgers are not for sale.

The Oklahoma City Comets won the Pacific Coast League championship series and then won the Triple-A national championship game, capping off a productive season for Dodgers minor league affiliates.

All four full-season affiliates made the postseason, and three levels saw Dodgers minor leaguers win league MVP – top prospect Josue De Paula in the Double-A Texas League, outfielder Charles Davalan in the High-A Midwest League, and first baseman Easton Shelton in the Class-A California League.

In addition, Scott Hennessey in Triple-A, Eric Wedge in Double-A, and Jair Fernandez in Great Lakes all won manager of the year. 

With De Paula making his major league debut in September and fellow top-100 prospect Mike Sirota reaching Triple-A in the final week-plus of the season, coupled with major-league-ready outfielders James Tibbs III and Zach Ehrhard already with Oklahoma City, the Dodgers have a lot of functional minor league depth they can tap into as needed in 2027.

The Dodgers have one week left to play in the regular season, and a magic number of three to clinch a bye into the National League Division Series.

They will get Shohei Ohtani, Andy Pages, and Roki Sasaki back off the injured list this week, all three of whom should figure prominently in their October plans.

Items to watch is if Blake Snell (left groin discomfort) starts in San Francisco as a tuneup, what the plans are for Emmet Sheehan (starting or relieving) in October, does Josue De Paula have a spot on a postseason roster, and more.
