The recent performances by the Brewers have been nothing short of a roller coaster. In their last three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee showcased resilience and strategic prowess despite mixed outcomes. Notably, on August 14th, they managed a narrow victory over the Dodgers with a final score of 5-4 despite being out-hit nine to four. This victory was emblematic of their ability to capitalize on critical moments – turning fewer hits into more runs through sheer determination and clutch hitting.


However, this win was sandwiched between two losses where the Brewers' weaknesses were exploited by their opponents. On August 13th and August 12th, Milwaukee struggled against Los Angeles' offensive onslaughts losing 7-2 and 5-2 respectively. These games highlighted areas for improvement for MIL; particularly in enhancing their batting average which stood at .182 and .188 across these challenging encounters.
