MLB Game Recap
Milwaukee jumped to an early 3-0 lead. This was thanks to a Brice Turang RBI double and Sal Frelick RBI single. However, starting pitcher Robert Gasser struggled with command. He finished with a line of 4.1 IP, 4 ER, 4 H, 4 K, and 4 BB on 89 pitches. The turning point occurred in the fourth when Teoscar Hernández hit a three-run homer. The Dodgers later pulled away by scoring seven runs against DL Hall and Jake Woodford in the final two innings. Brewers pitchers issued a season-high 11 walks in the defeat. The defense recorded two double plays to limit further damage.
Standout Performer
Jackson Chourio: 2-for-5, 2 2B, 1 R. Chourio’s aggressive approach against Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki resulted in two doubles that helped build the Brewers’ initial lead. His multi-hit performance provided the only bright spot. The offense managed just one hit over the final seven innings.
