Milwaukee BrewersvsLos Angeles Dodgers
MIL 4/LAD 1
Things to say
The Brewers beat the Dodgers 4-1 at Dodger Stadium.
01
opener
Brewers went into Dodger Stadium and took it, 4-1. Milwaukee's just the better team right now, and it showed. That pitching staff is no joke.
02
key player
Milwaukee's arms carried it. Whoever they ran out there got into his stuff early and kept the heart of the order quiet all night.
03
hot take
I don't care about the standings, the Brewers are the best team in the National League. Nobody wants to see them in October.
04
deep cut
One run for the Dodgers at home? That lineup doesn't get shut down like that. Somebody's WHIP was filthy tonight.
05
exit
Milwaukee's up in the standings too, 76-48. I want to see if the Dodgers punch back tomorrow.
The recap
Milwaukee walked into Chavez Ravine and quietly handed the Dodgers a 4-1 loss, and it wasn't as close as one run makes it sound. The Brewers' arms were the whole story here, choking off the heart of LA's order all night and never letting the home crowd get loud.
A single run is all the Dodgers could scrape together, which tells you the bullpen and starter combined to keep them off balance from the jump. Milwaukee's now got the best record in baseball at 76-48, and nights like this are exactly why.
