The early-season matchups between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers have featured two of baseball’s hottest hitters in Cody Bellinger and reigning National League MVP Christian Yelich.
Both have shined through the first three games of the series at Miller Park. Bellinger hit a home run on Thursday, and Yelich has gone deep in each of the contests. Included in that was hitting two solo home runs of Hyun-Jin Ryu in Saturday’s win.
With the Dodgers trailing 2-0 in the eighth inning and first base open after Lorenzo Cain’s bloop double, they opted to intentionally walk Yelich.
