The pivotal moment of the game unfolded in the fourth inning when the Dodgers launched an aggressive attack, amassing six hits and five runs that effectively turned the tide in their favor. This explosive inning showcased their knack for seizing scoring opportunities and left a lasting impact on the game's outcome.

Gavin Lux also made noteworthy contributions with a home run that added two runs to his team's tally. Despite having a batting average of .200 for this particular match, Lux's timely home run was instrumental in widening the lead and intensifying pressure on the Brewers' defense.


On defense, Gavin Stone put forth an exemplary effort from the mound by maintaining an earned run average of just 1.8 over five innings pitched. His prowess in limiting hits from opposing batters played a vital role in stifling any scoring attempts by The Brewers and helped secure another victory for his team.

The Milwaukee Brewers found themselves struggling to counteract The Dodgers' relentless offense. Their lone error did little to aid their cause as they managed only six hits throughout nine innings—a stark contrast to The Dodgers' thirteen.
