Los Angeles DodgersvsMilwaukee Brewers
LAD 5/MIL 1
Things to say
Dodgers beat the Brewers 5-1 at American Family Field.
01
opener
Dodgers rolled into Milwaukee and took it 5-1. Brewers' bats just never showed up. One run all night, that tells you everything.
02
key player
LA's starter was filthy, the Brewers couldn't square anything up — guy was painting corners all night.
03
hot take
Brewers are 30-20 and people still sleep on them, but that lineup goes quiet way too often against real pitching.
04
deep cut
American Family Field with the roof closed plays small, and the Brewers still couldn't get one to leave the yard. That's a problem.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Milwaukee bounces back tomorrow — long season, but the Dodgers look like the Dodgers again.
The recap
Dodgers rolled into Milwaukee and quieted the Brew Crew 5-1 on Sunday, and honestly it never felt that close. LA's starter got into his stuff early and the bullpen just slammed the door, holding Milwaukee to a single run all afternoon.
The heart of the order did the damage — a couple of well-timed knocks turned a tight game into a comfortable cushion by the middle innings. Brewers drop to 30-20 while the Dodgers keep humming along at 33-20 atop the standings.
