Misiorowski Anchors Brewers' Pitching Effort

Jacob Misiorowski delivered a standout performance on the mound, limiting the Los Angeles Dodgers to just one run over six innings. The Milwaukee Brewers starter allowed five hits and walked one batter while striking out six. He recorded the win, improving his record to 12-5. The Brewers took the 4-1 victory at Dodger Stadium, where 47,767 spectators watched the action.

Early Scoring Sets the Tone

The game began with a quiet first inning before Milwaukee struck in the top of the second. Luis Ortiz hit a home run to left field, traveling 373 feet, and brought home Contreras for two runs. The Dodgers responded in the bottom of the third when Shohei Ohtani tripled to right field, allowing Call to score.

That single run was the only one Los Angeles managed to put on the board for the rest of the game.

Brewers Extend Their Lead

Milwaukee re-established their dominance in the top of the fourth inning. Contreras launched a home run to left center that carried 389 feet, driving in Bauers for two more runs. This play gave the Brewers a comfortable 4-1 lead. The rest of the game remained scoreless, with both teams unable to add to their totals despite various offensive attempts.

Bullpen Secures the Win

After Misiorowski exited, the Brewers bullpen managed the final four innings. Antonio Senzatela pitched one hitless, scoreless inning, allowing no hits, no earned runs, and no walks while recording no strikeouts. He earned the hold, moving his record to 7.

Aaron Ashby closed the game with two hitless, scoreless innings, allowing one walk and striking out two batters to secure the save and improve his record to 1.

For the Dodgers, Justin Wrobleski took the loss. He pitched six innings, allowing four hits and four earned runs while walking one and striking out six. His record dropped to 11-5.

Jonathan Hernandez pitched the final three innings for Los Angeles, allowing one hit and no earned runs while walking one and striking out four. The Brewers improved their record to 76-48, while the Dodgers fell to 74-50.
