The Brewers had taken the first two games of the series, but the injured list continued to grow. Now at sixteen players, the depth of the team was being tested. Despite that, the Brewers entered tonight with a chance to get another win off the National League favorite Dodgers.
Brandon Woodruff got the start tonight, and it began a bit badly. On the first pitch of the game, Dodgers’ leadoff hitter Mookie Betts hit it out of the park, and the Brewers began in a 1-0 hole. Woodruff settled down after that, getting the rest of the batters in order to end the first.
