The Milwaukee Brewers fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers today, 5-3. It was a strange game, one in which it felt like the Brewers should be getting blown out, but they found themselves in a tie game after a dramatic eighth-inning homer from Christian Yelich. But in a replay of last night, the Brewers’ struggling bullpen was unable to keep them in the game, capping a frustrating day for the Brewers’ pitching staff and starter Freddy Peralta.
The Brewers came out looking to get a jump on Dodgers starter James Paxton, who has had some success this season but had his worst start of the year his last time out.
