The Dodgers set the tone early, scoring three runs in the first inning off three hits, showcasing their offensive capabilities right from the start. The team's hitting statistics were impressive, with a total of nine hits contributing to their five runs. Notably, James Outman stood out by batting .500 and maintaining a perfect fielding percentage, highlighting his significant contribution both at bat and in the field.


Pitching was another area where the Dodgers excelled. Starter James Paxton posted an ERA of 3.6 over five innings pitched, demonstrating control and efficiency on the mound with a WHIP of 1.2 and striking out opponents at a rate of 5.4 per nine innings. The bullpen also played a crucial role in securing the win; Daniel Hudson delivered an impeccable performance with an ERA of 0.0 across his appearance, further solidifying the team's pitching strength.

On defense, Los Angeles showed why they are one of the top teams in baseball this season by not committing any errors throughout nine innings while turning several plays that kept Milwaukee's scoring opportunities limited.


The Brewers managed to score three runs off five hits but were hindered by two errors that ultimately cost them valuable momentum during critical phases of the game.
