Brewers Outslug Dodgers in a High-Scoring Affair at Dodger Stadium
In a game that saw the Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers rack up a combined total of 13 runs and 14 hits, it was the Brewers who emerged victorious with a final score of 5-8. The Brewers now stand at 52-37 for the season, while the Dodgers fall to 54-35.
The pivotal moment came in the fourth inning when the Brewers exploded for five runs on three hits, marking their highest-scoring inning of the game. This offensive outburst was highlighted by Rhys Hoskins' performance; he hit a home run and drove in four runs, showcasing his critical role in Milwaukee's lineup. On defense, Milwaukee maintained composure as they committed no errors throughout the game, contrasting with one error by Los Angeles.
Pitching also played a significant role in this contest. Aaron Civale started for Milwaukee but had mixed results with an ERA of 7.2 over five innings pitched, striking out eight batters but also allowing four earned runs. The bullpen had its struggles too; Elvis Peguero took the loss for Milwaukee after giving up three walks and recording an ERA of 40.5 without managing to strike out any batters.
On Los Angeles' side, Daniel Hudson was credited with his sixth win despite blowing his fifth save opportunity of the season. Evan Phillips secured his fourteenth save in closing out any hopes of a late comeback from Milwaukee.
Despite their efforts at bat being less fruitful than desired overall — achieving only four hits — strategic plays and capitalizing on opportunities allowed Milwaukee to secure this win against Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium.
Looking ahead, fans can catch more action as the Brewers are set to face off against the Dodgers once again at Dodger Stadium on July 6th at 7:15 PM EDT. This upcoming game promises more excitement and will be broadcasted live on FOX for fans not able to make it to Los Angeles.
