Dodgers are swept by the Brewers<\/p>\n
From Maddie Lee<\/a>: The hope for a Dodgers<\/a> comeback in the National League Championship Series ended with the smack of the ball hitting leather.<\/p>\n Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> left fielder Jackson Chourio, sprinting toward the warning track, had to leap to reel in Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s line drive in the gap. But he secured the catch. And ended the Dodgers\u2019 season.<\/p>\n The Dodgers\u2019 hopes of making National League history with a three-peat died with a 6-4 loss to the Brewers on Thursday, completing Milwaukee\u2019s four-game sweep.<\/p>\n \u201cIt sucked,\u201d veteran left fielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> said. \u201cEspecially after [what] we had done the last two years. This year at the beginning of the year, what we\u2019ve been through, a lot of injuries throughout the year the last two years, a lot of ups and downs. It just sucked that we\u2019re in this situation, but it\u2019s part of the game.<\/p>\n \u201cSomebody has to win, somebody has to lose. This time, we\u2019re the ones that lost, and just reflect on everything that we didn\u2019t do great this year and just try to do it next year.\u201d<\/p>\n As the Dodgers\u2019 postseason hype video declared before the game: \u201cOctober doesn\u2019t remember who came close. It remembers who triumphs.\u201d<\/p>\n The Dodgers, after reinforcing to their back-to-back championship roster in the offseason and entering the year as the World Series favorites, fell short. And instead the Brewers will represent the National League, making their first trip to the Fall Classic in 44 years.<\/p>\n \u201cThey may have a bunch of Hall of Famers, but we have a bunch of gamers,\u201d Brewers manager Pat Murphy said from the stage. \u201cAnd the gamers won this week.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers Debate NLCS Game 4: Dodgers are swept by Brewers<\/a><\/p>\n Dodgers box score<\/a><\/p>\n Go beyond the scoreboard <\/p>\n Get the latest on L.A.’s teams in the daily Sports Report newsletter.<\/p>\n By continuing, you agree to our Terms of Service<\/a>, which include arbitration and a class action waiver.

And obviously making my debut here in 2014 changed my life, not just for me but for my whole family. They took care of my son, my daughter, my wife, and everybody in my family. It\u2019s really amazing what I can think about, what happened to me and to my family the last few years.\u201d<\/p>\n Rojas addressed the team after the 6-4 loss to the Brewers<\/a>. He said he was going to stay loyal to the Dodgers organization but in a different role.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a><\/p>\n MLB postseason schedule<\/p>\n All times Pacific<\/p>\n NLCS<\/p>\n No. 1 Milwaukee vs. No. 2 Dodgers ALCS<\/p>\n No. 1 Tampa Bay vs. No. 2 Cleveland World Series * if necessary<\/p>\n Lakers\u2019 Ziaire Williams brings needed energy<\/p>\n From Thuc Nhi Nguyen<\/a>: He made one of the biggest splashes in the Lakers<\/a>\u2019 first preseason game. Ziaire Williams<\/a> set the tone of the Lakers\u2019 new defensive style, pressuring the ball the full length of the court and injecting energy into his teammates. The Sierra Canyon High alumnus sank three three-pointers in a stellar debut<\/a> for his hometown team.<\/p>\n Then came the swelling in his left foot.<\/p>\n After a minor injury slowed Williams\u2019 preseason ascent, the 6-foot-9 forward could be in position to return to the lineup for the Lakers\u2019 preseason finale at 7:30 p.m. Friday against the visiting Denver Nuggets. Williams practiced fully Thursday after missing the last three games. He\u2019ll leave the final call up to the Lakers\u2019 medical staff as the team tries to maximize its preseason preparation.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s important, man, just to get game reps with each other, but health is key,\u201d said Williams, who had 13 points and a steal as a starter in the preseason opener against the Sacramento Kings on Oct. 5. \u201cIf you can\u2019t go, you just can\u2019t. It\u2019s not the end of the world. Going back to championship identity, we\u2019re looking ahead at the bigger picture. So it\u2019s not worth [it] to risk your body for a game that doesn\u2019t count and then be out for the real games.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a><\/p>\n Rams\u2019 Sean McVay is ready for anything<\/p>\n From Gary Klein<\/a>: It was already going to be a short week, but Sean McVay navigated unexpected business that affected the start of preparation for Sunday\u2019s game against the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n After Monday night\u2019s defeat by the Buffalo Bills, the Rams on Tuesday released struggling kicker Harrison Mevis<\/a>, and signed Blake Grupe<\/a>. Then left tackle Alaric Jackson was suspended by the NFL<\/a> for punching a Bills player on the field after the game.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re always ready for inevitable things to come up,\u201d the Rams coach said Thursday.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a><\/p>\n Chargers\u2019 Mike McDaniel is always coaching for his job<\/p>\n From Joaquin Ruiz<\/a>: Chargers<\/a> offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel<\/a> didn\u2019t shy away from discussing his job security Thursday amid a frustrating 0-5 start to the season.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like it\u2019s core to my job to always feel that way,\u201d McDaniel said when asked if he\u2019s coaching for his job. \u201cI need to do the very best I possibly can, all the time, because [of] the players, the organization, the fans.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, that\u2019s second nature. \u2026 I think it\u2019s disrespectful to all those that choose to invest in our game and our team to not look at things that way. The second you get comfortable in this league, it\u2019s a wrap; it\u2019s too good. I will be doing my very best, because from an integrity standpoint, I think it\u2019s really insulting to do anything else.
