The Brewers dropped another one Tuesday night in Milwaukee, marking the team’s third consecutive loss as Colin Rea struggled against the Dodgers.
Rea got this one started against one of the scariest tops of the lineup in the history of baseball, and while Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts made solid contact, they both flew out, and Freddie Freeman popped out. Rea was successful in navigating those shark-infested waters on his first attempt, but it wouldn’t go so well later.
In the bottom of the first, the Brewers got an extra-base hit off of Dodgers starter Gavin Stone when Jackson Chourio hit a slicing line drive into right-center that Andy Pages wasn’t quite able to catch, but William Contreras hit a 103-mph grounder right at Enrique Hernández and Tyler Black struck out looking, and the first inning ended with no score.
