Brooms Out! Brewers Make History in Sweep of Dodgers

On Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers started a three game series with the LA Dodgers. It didn’t take long for the Brewers to get going, as their offense exploded for five runs in the first inning! The Dodger’s starter, Yoshinobu Yamamoto could not even go a full inning, with the Brewers ace Freddy Peralta went six shutout innings! The Brewers offense scored nine total runs in the game, as Andrew Vaugn, who became just the 5th Brewer ever to hit a homerun on his first at bat with the team! Christian Yelich also homered, as the Brewers won the game 9-2!

In the 2nd game of the series, the hype was real between the pitching matchup! The Dodgers had their future hall of famer Clayton Kershaw, with the Brewers sending out their young rookie phenom Jacob Misiorowski. The game started off with Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani hitting a homerun, but then Misiorowski locked in. Kershaw pitched good, but Misiorowski pitched great. In the 8th inning, Sal Frelick homered to make the score 3-1, as they won by that score. It was the first time the Brewers beat Clayton Kershaw since 2018!

The third and final game of the series was a low scoring game, as the Dodger’s Tyler Glasnow and the Brewer’s Jose Quintana both pitched very well. The game was close, that it went to extra innings. In the bottom of the 10th inning, Jackson Chourio hit his first ever walk off hit, with the Brewers winning 3-2!
