The Dodgers improved to 31-19 by taking two of three in San Diego and winning the rubber match 4-0. Shohei Ohtani delivered five shutout innings despite not being sharp, and the bullpen continued strong performance to secure a series win. After an off day, Los Angeles begins the final stretch of a nine-game road trip with three games in Milwaukee against the Brewers, who are 29-18 and have surged to first place in the NL Central. Milwaukee went 11-3 since May 4, including a sweep of the Cubs and outscoring them 19-5. The Brewers also swept the Dodgers in the regular season last year, while the Dodgers later eliminated them in the NLCS.
"The Dodgers (31-19) took two of three in San Diego, taking the rubber match 4-0 on Wednesday. Shohei Ohtani wasn't sharp on the mound, but still threw five shutout innings and the bullpen continued their recent dominance for a series win. After an off day yesterday, the Dodgers get back in action and close out their nine-game road trip with three in Milwaukee against the surging Brewers (29-18)."
"The NL Central has been strangely good this season, but the Brewers were in last place in the division on May 4 following a loss in St. Louis. They're 11-3 since then and leaped over the struggling Cubs for the top spot in the division by sweeping the Cubs in their last series. The Brewers outscored the Cubs 19-5 in the three games, capped off by a 5-0 shutout win on Wednesday."
"The Brewers famously dominated the Dodgers in the regular season last year, sweeping them in LA and in Milwaukee. The Dodgers got back at them in the NLCS, as they swept the Brewers and held them to exactly one run in each of the four games."
"Justin Wrobleski gets the ball for the Dodgers. Wrobo bounced back nicely last time out after a rough start against Atlanta with six solid innings in Anaheim, allowing two runs and seven hits. Logan Henderson starts for the Brewers, making the fifth start of his rookie season. Henderson got a spot start in April, starting the second game of a doubleheader in Milwaukee and allowing two runs in two innings."
