Overview

  • Clayton Kershaw allowed two runs and six hits in six innings but was outpaced by the rookie in front of the Dodgers’ longest skid since May 2024.
  • Los Angeles has been outscored 38-7 and averaged just 1.8 runs per game during its current five-game losing streak.
  • Milwaukee’s bullpen trio of Jared Koenig, Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill retired the final nine hitters, with Megill recording his 21st save.
  • The Dodgers will activate Tyler Glasnow for Wednesday’s finale and are considering extending Shohei Ohtani’s pitching workload to steady their staff before the All-Star break.
