Pat Murphy and Andrew Vaughn on big win against Dodgers
Video: Pat Murphy and Andrew Vaughn on big win against Dodgers
The Milwaukee Brewers go for their first-ever sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers at home as they embark upon the series finale July 9 at American Family Field.
José Quintana takes the mound for the Brewers while Tyler Glasnow returns from the injured list for the Dodgers to start.
Follow along for live updates.
Now Jackson Chourio takes a hit away from Shohei Ohtani
Still no hits allowed by Quintana through three innings. Jackson Chourio just made a sliding catch reminiscent of the one Isaac Collins made last inning, and this one robbed Shohei Ohtani of a bloop single. Ohtani is now 0 for 2 and the Brewers have thrown 11 straight scoreless innings against the Dodgers (but really 12, if you figure they started over after the Ohtani homer yesterday).
Here’s the problem, though: The Brewers have also been quiet thus far. The top of the order just went down 1-2-3 for the second time in this game against Tyler Glasnow.
END THIRD: Brewers 0, Dodgers 0
Brewers load bases with one out but come up empty in second inning
A Christian Yelich single and two walks had Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow on the ropes in the second, but Jake Bauers popped out into foul territory and Joey Ortiz struck out on a high pitch after taking two right in the heart of the zone. It was a 29-pitch inning, so the Brewers made Glasnow work, but still no score.
END SECOND: Brewers 0, Dodgers 0
Isaac Collins makes another nifty catch as Brewers extend scoreless streak
Isaac Collins is starting to make that sliding catch of low liners in left his brand. Collins snagged another one to take a hit away from Tommy Edman, and Quintana hasn’t allowed any hits (one walk) in two innings.
Collins, by the way, leads all left fielders in the big leagues in Outs Above Average, with six runs saved.
The Brewers have now worked, essentially, 11 scoreless innings against the Dodgers. That’s not technically true since Shohei Ohtani took Jacob Misiorowski deep leading off the game yesterday, but then Misiorowski worked a 1-2-3 first from there. Ten innings later, the Dodgers haven’t scored again.
José Quintana starts with a 1-2-3 inning, including an Ohtani strikeout
It took 10 pitches, but José Quintana opened the game with a strikeout of Shohei Ohtani, then retired Mookie Betts and Will Smith for a clean top of the first.
The Brewers also go 1-2-3 in the bottom half.
END FIRST: Brewers 0, Dodgers 0
Glasnow returns from injured list for Dodgers
The Brewers are facing a third consecutive high-profile opposing pitcher, in the wake of defeating Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Clayton Kershaw. Tyler Glasnow, however, hasn’t pitched since the end of May after experiencing shoulder inflammation.
Glasnow, who missed the last six weeks of 2024, as well, has made five starts this year for the Dodgers and owns a 4.50 ERA with a 1.278 WHIP. So he’s been hittable, but his return is a huge story line for a Dodgers team that has been beset by injuries.
Familiar name in the Dodgers lineup
The Dodgers’ starting left fielder on July 9 is none other than Esteury Ruiz, the former Brewers prospect who was traded in the deal that brought William Contreras to Milwaukee.
Ruiz went to Oakland in that three-team swap. Milwaukee had just acquired Ruiz from the Padres in the deal that sent Josh Hader to San Diego. Ruiz stole 67 bases in 2023 to lead the league but has otherwise struggled both offensively and defensively in the big leagues. In April, he was traded to the Dodgers for pitcher Carlos Durán.
