The Milwaukee Brewers clinched their 10th consecutive victory on Sunday, capping off a resounding 6–5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. This triumph sealed their second three-game sweep of the Dodgers in under two weeks, marking a perfect 6–0 record against the reigning World Series champions—an unprecedented feat in the history of the rivalry.
Game Recap and Key Contributions
From the get-go, the Dodgers jumped ahead in the third inning. Andy Pages doubled, scoring Dalton Rushing, and Shohei Ohtani launched his 34th homer of the season—an emphatic two-run blast—that put Los Angeles up 3–0.. However, Milwaukee refused to crumble. In the bottom of the fourth, after two costly Dodger errors, Andruw Monasterio delivered a clutch RBI single to cut the deficit to 3–2.
The game saw a back-and-forth narrative, with the Dodgers responding in the fifth through a solo home run by Esteury Ruiz, momentarily taking back the lead at 4–3. In contrast, the Brewers seized control in the sixth. A seven-batter rally featured an RBI single by Eric Haase to even things up, and a go-ahead two-run single from Isaac Collins that propelled the Brewers ahead 6–4.
On the mound, starter José Quintana (7–3) delivered a solid six-inning performance, conceding four runs on four hits while recording five strikeouts.. Closing the game, Abner Uribe secured his second save of the season by retiring Mookie Betts with the bases loaded in the ninth inning.
Dodgers’ Struggles and Injuries
Despite the stinging loss, the Dodgers were not without bright spots. Ohtani’s powerful home run added to his strong season tally. However, defensive miscues haunted the home side, with three errors—two during the crucial fourth inning—contributing to Milwaukee’s rally. This marked Los Angeles’s sixth straight home loss and formed part of a troubling 2–10 stretch since July 4.
In addition, first baseman Freddie Freeman exited in the sixth inning after being hit on the left wrist by a José Quintana pitch, sustaining a contusion. His departure adds to a growing list of injury woes for a Dodgers roster already missing key players.
Veteran Chris Kershaw, starting for Los Angeles, was credited with the loss after allowing three runs (only one earned) across 4⅓ innings—a performance marred by the team’s defensive lapses.
Brewing History in Milwaukee
This 10-game winning streak stands as the team’s longest since a similar run in 2021 and represents only the eighth double-digit winning streak in franchise history. More impressively, it underscores Milwaukee’s dominance over Los Angeles this season. Not only did the Brewers sweep the Dodgers twice in back-to-back series, but they’ve also completed a flawless 6–0 record in the season series—unheard of in past matchups.
Jackson Chourio continues to shine, extending his hitting streak to 14 games with a base hit in this contest—a personal career high.
What’s Next
Milwaukee will look to carry this momentum forward as they tie the Chicago Cubs atop the NL Central standings. Brandon Woodruff is slated to start the next game in Seattle, as the Brewers seek to extend their red-hot form.
As for the Dodgers, they must regroup quickly. With upcoming games in Los Angeles against the Twins followed by a demanding nine-game road trip, getting key players healthy—including Freeman—and stabilizing their defense will be crucial if they hope to regain footing in the NL West.
This weekend served as a defining moment in the Brewers-Dodgers rivalry. Between Milwaukee’s historic sweep and fiery winning streak, and Los Angeles’s mounting pressures and injuries, the balance of power in the National League may be shifting—one series and one game at a time.
