MILWAUKEE — After seven fascinating games full of strategy, game-changing moments, constant substitutions and occasional testiness, talent simply won out in the end. Game 7 slugging and a little bit of swagger gave the Dodgers the lead they needed to finally get past the Brewers and return to the Fall Classic. The Dodgers’ sluggers fed off the boos they received in the NLCS, drawing fans’ ire while ending Milwaukee’s postseason hopes. From the wild-card round through the World Series, we’ll have the 2018 postseason covered. 2 Related That’s the lingering feeling from the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 5-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Saturday’s Game 7 of the National League Championship Series.

The drive Taylor caught, off the bat of Christian Yelich, came in the fifth inning, with Lorenzo Cain dancing off second base and the Brewers still trailing by just a run. Taylor raced over from left field and laid out to snag the ball in the webbing of his glove, while Bellinger leaped over his tumbling torso. “That was the catch of the year,” Bellinger said. “I don’t know what would happen if he doesn’t make that catch.
