MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers secured a dramatic 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday, highlighted by early homers from Jackson Chourio and Wiliam Contreras. The Brewers initially fell behind 3-0 in the first inning but showcased resilience, ultimately taking the lead in the eighth inning. Devin Williams closed the game with his third save, striking out notable hitters Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers had rallied to a 4-3 lead by the sixth inning, thanks to a tiebreaking two-out single from Hernández. However, the Brewers responded in the eighth, loading the bases with Chourio's double, a walk from Garrett Mitchell, and an infield single by Contreras. An insurance run was added when Rhys Hoskins grounded out, allowing Contreras to score from third. Chourio's impressive performance included a 421-foot homer, marking his 15th of the season, alongside 16 stolen bases. This achievement places him among a select group of young players, including legends like Andruw Jones and Bryce Harper, who have recorded at least 15 homers and 15 steals in a single season. On the pitching front, Brewers starter Tobias Myers allowed four runs, two of which were earned, over 5 2/3 innings. Bryan Hudson earned the win with two scoreless innings of relief. Looking ahead, the Dodgers will face the St. Louis Cardinals, while the Brewers prepare for a home series against the Cleveland Guardians.
