Garrett Mitchell has had his fingerprints all over the @Brewers' trip to the Fall Classic 🫆 From his clutch HRs against Via @MLBNetwork on X

What happened: Garrett Mitchell connected for clutch postseason home runs against the Los Angeles Dodgers and robbed a home run against the San Diego Padres during the Milwaukee Brewers' October run. Those two-way plays helped propel Milwaukee to the National League pennant.

Why it matters: The postseason surge builds on a summer stretch in which Mitchell began realizing his first-round potential for the Brewers. His production at the plate and in the outfield helped end Milwaukee's 44-year wait for a Fall Classic appearance dating to 1982.

What to watch: The Brewers now await the American League champion to open the 2026 World Series.
