What happened

A sweep, and nobody in Milwaukee quite knew where to put it. The 7-4 opener gave the room a "Hammy legacy game! Thank you David!" The turn came in Los Angeles, a 6-2 win that made the Dodgers look finished, with Bauers "and all the guys" playing for Uribe and Contreras turning a night into "a clinic." The 6-4 close finished it, 4-0 on the season. One fan said it "made a horrible day better," which is a strange thing to say about a pennant, and exactly right.
