Milwaukee lost only one game in the National League Division Series and none in the National League Championship Series, sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team's pitching was exceptional, allowing no more than four runs in any playoff game, alongside a strong bullpen that posted a 1.38 ERA. Manager Pat Murphy praised his team's commitment to winning as a unit rather than focusing on individual stats.
