Los Angeles DodgersvsMilwaukee Brewers
LAD 11/MIL 3
Things to say
Dodgers blew out the Brewers 11-3 at American Family Field on Saturday night.
01
opener
Dodgers absolutely dumpstered Milwaukee, 11-3. Wasn't even close after the third. LA's lineup top to bottom is just a different animal right now.
02
key player
Whoever was hitting in the heart of that order tonight had a field day — Milwaukee's pen couldn't get anybody out once the starter came out.
03
hot take
Brewers are 30-19 and people still aren't taking them seriously. Doesn't matter when the Dodgers roll through and hang an eleven spot on you.
04
deep cut
Manager went to the pen way too early, and you could see it unravel. Once they burned through the middle relief it was batting practice.
05
exit
Anyway — getaway day tomorrow, let's see if Milwaukee can salvage one before the Dodgers leave town.
The recap
Dodgers absolutely bludgeoned the Brewers 11-3 at American Family Field, and it wasn't really close after the middle innings. The heart of the order did the damage — LA piled on runs in bunches once they got into the Milwaukee starter's stuff, and the manager went to the pen too early trying to stop the bleeding.
Once that bullpen door opened, balls kept leaving the yard and the rout was on. Brewers drop to 30-19 while LA pushes to 32-20 and walks out of Milwaukee with a statement win.
