The Brief

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Dodgers are one step closer to possibly returning to the World Series.

The Dodgers punched a ticket to the National League Championship Series after beating the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 in extras in Game 4 of the division series.

With the win, the Dodgers await the winner of the Chicago Cubs-Milwaukee Brewers series. Should the Boys in Blue take down the Brewers or Cubs in the NLCS, this will mark back-to-back appearances for the Dodgers in the Fall Classic. The Dodgers won last year's World Series, taking down the New York Yankees in five games.
