The Brewers entered the final game of the series against the Dodgers split at two games, with Wade Miley on the mound against Clayton Kershaw. The Brewers also entered the game only .5 games behind the Pirates for the top spot in the NL Central.
Both pitchers started well, with the game still at zeros through three innings. The Dodgers would strike first and never look back, cranking back-to-back home runs off Wade Miley in the top of the third from Freddie Freeman and Will Smith.
The Brewers would cut into the lead with a solo home run from William Contreras, but that would be the end of the offensive production at the plate.
