First Inning


The opening inning set the stage for what would be a difficult evening for the Dodgers. The Brewers came out swinging with an aggressive approach that paid off immediately. They scored five runs on four hits, including one home run, taking advantage of two walks and an error committed by Blue's defense. This early surge put immense pressure on Los Angeles' starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who struggled with control and allowed multiple base runners.


Middle Innings


As play continued into subsequent innings, both teams settled into more stable rhythms defensively. However, despite some solid pitching from Jack Dreyer and Anthony Banda in relief roles for Los Angeles—both maintaining zero earned runs during their appearances—the damage had already been done in that pivotal first inning.


Offensively speaking though; it was not until late into these middle frames when any significant action occurred again: namely through James Outman’s efforts at bat which resulted eventually leading him scoring via Andy Pages’ single hit during eighth inning – marking only point registered throughout entire match-up thus far!


Eighth Inning


In contrast to earlier struggles seen across board previously mentioned above; there were glimpses hope shown here especially given how well bullpen performed overall despite initial setbacks encountered beforehand (notably Julian Fernández managing keep things tight even under duress). Unfortunately though such efforts proved insufficient ultimately changing course outcome entirely favorably towards visitors instead due largely thanks continued resilience displayed consistently throughout duration contest itself regardless circumstances faced along way too!
