Milwaukee’s bullpen falters, Brewers lose 8-5 to Dodgers

Box Score

The Brewers hit yet another grand slam on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough as they dropped their series opener against the Dodgers in an offense-heavy game.

The Dodgers struck first, as Will Smith homered off Aaron Civale just after he struck out Shohei Ohtani, who turned 30 today.

Following a perfect three innings by Tyler Glasnow, Civale once again struck out Ohtani before hanging another sweeper to Smith, giving the Dodgers a 3-0 lead entering the fourth.

The Brewers finally created some offense against Glasnow in the fourth, as Brice Turang started things off with an infield single before William Contreras walked to put runners at first and second with no outs.
