A Perfect Finish

DL Hall delivered a flawless performance out of the Milwaukee Brewers bullpen, pitching two innings without allowing a single hit or walk while striking out three batters. His scoreless outing proved decisive in a game defined by late momentum, securing his second win of the season and helping the Brewers overcome a six-run deficit to claim a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Hall’s efficiency was critical after starter Shane Drohan allowed three earned runs over five-and-a-third innings. Drohan struck out five but also issued three walks while surrendering three hits. He was followed by Antonio Senzatela, who pitched two-thirds of an inning and allowed one earned run on a hit before exiting the game.

The Dodgers’ Early Lead

Los Angeles built a commanding lead in the sixth inning when Muncy launched a 426-foot home run to right center, driving in Edman and Freeman. That three-run blast extended their advantage to 4-2, seemingly putting them out of reach.

Earlier in the fourth, the Dodgers had taken a 2-0 lead on walks that brought Vaughn and Ortiz to scoring position, though only Vaughn crossed the plate before Rortvedt’s fifth-inning single made it 2-1.

Dodger starters included Roki Sasaki, who pitched six innings, allowing four hits and two earned runs while walking five batters. Jack Dreyer, Edgardo Henriquez, Tanner Scott, and Alex Vesia combined to pitch three scoreless innings of relief, maintaining the lead until the ninth.

The Ninth-Inning Rally

The Brewers’ offense exploded in the top of the final inning against Edwin Diaz. Chourio led off with a single to right, allowing Ortiz to score from first base. Mitchell then singled to right, bringing Hamilton home to tie the game at 4-4. Bauers followed with another hit to right field, driving in Chourio for the walk-off win.

Diaz took the loss, giving up three earned runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning. Trevor Megill pitched the ninth to earn the save, striking out one batter while retiring the side in order.

Final Notes

The game was played at Dodger Stadium in front of 46,105 spectators. The Brewers improved to 75-47, while the Dodgers fell to 73-49.
