There's nothing like a Game 5 -- particularly not one between division rivals.

After several slugfests in the earlier games of this series, the rubber match between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs was a battle of relievers, with four solo home runs the only offense.

The Brewers' three were enough, and send them to their first National League Championship Series in their history. (They won the AL pennant in 1982.) Milwaukee, with the best record in the NL and MLB, will host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS at 8:08 p.m. ET Monday.

We've got you covered with the top moments from today's game, as well as takeaways after the final out.
