Murphy believes that the key to winning is "teamwork." He said: "Based on what I know about the Dodgers, we have an extremely difficult task in front of us. They have a star player in almost every fielding position. But you know what? It is the 'team' that wins, and we have to fight with all our strength."
It is worth mentioning that the Brewers defeated the Padres 3:1 in Game 4 of the National League Division Series, ending their 12-game losing streak in the playoffs and tying the major league's worst record. The Brewers have accumulated 7 wins and 24 losses on the road in the playoffs. Although they had home field advantage in the National League Championship Series, they were the same last year and failed in the end. The last time they advanced to the World Series was in 1982.
