Jackson Chourio hit a crucial single in the 10th inning to secure a 3-2 victory for the Milwaukee Brewers over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, marking the Brewers’ first home sweep of the Dodgers in franchise history. This victory solidifies the Brewers’ resilience, as they have achieved only two previous sweeps against the Dodgers, both of which occurred in Los Angeles in 2012 and 2014.
The Dodgers, who currently lead the NL West, are experiencing a challenging stretch, having lost six consecutive games—something they haven’t faced since April 2019. During this losing streak, the team has managed to score just 10 runs.
In the decisive matchup, Milwaukee’s Trevor Megill delivered a stellar performance in the top of the 10th, striking out notable hitters Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages, and Tommy Edman. The Brewers rallied in the ninth with a strong pinch-hit single from Andrew Vaughn that scored Isaac Collins, pushing the game into extra innings.
Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow, making his first appearance since April due to shoulder issues, showcased his skills by striking out five while giving up only one unearned run. Meanwhile, Milwaukee’s José Quintana contributed significantly by only allowing one run and two hits over six innings, keeping the Dodgers at bay until late in the game.
As we look ahead, the Dodgers will head to San Francisco for a series starting Friday, with Dustin May expected to start for them, while the Brewers take on the Washington Nationals, hoping to extend their success with Quinn Priester on the mound.
This victory not only reflects the Brewers’ growing strength but also presents an opportunity for them to build momentum moving forward in the season. The team’s first home sweep against a robust opponent like the Dodgers is a hopeful sign for fans and players alike as they continue to strive for success.
