Jackson Chourio, Brewers extend Dodgers’ skid to 6 games


MILWAUKEE — Jackson Chourio singled home the winning run in the 10th inning as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat Los Angeles 3-2 on Wednesday to complete their first home sweep of the Dodgers in franchise history.

“We had them where we wanted them,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters. “We just couldn’t finish it.”

The Brewers’ only two previous sweeps of the Dodgers came in Los Angeles, in May 2012 and August 2017.

The NL West-leading Dodgers have lost six straight for the first time since April 2019. They have totaled 11 runs during the skid and their minus-34 run differential is the team’s worst in a six-game span since 1958, the team’s first season in Los Angeles.

“Knowing the rough patch [we’re in], it’s really hard to take this one, because you just want to stop it,” infielder Miguel Rojas said afterward.

“We can’t really feel sorry about ourselves, because there’s a lot of season left, and we know what we’re looking for. We’re looking to win another championship, and playing this kind of baseball is not going to get us there.”

Milwaukee’s Trevor Megill (2-2), who was added to the NL All-Star roster as a substitute, struck out Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages and Tommy Edman in order in the top of the 10th.

William Contreras led off the bottom of the 10th with a fly to deep center off Kirby Yates (4-3) that advanced automatic runner Sal Frelick to third. Chourio then singled through the left side of a drawn-in infield for his first career walk-off hit.

The Brewers tied the score in the ninth when pinch hitter Andrew Vaughn’s one-out single off Tanner Scott brought home Isaac Collins and put runners on the corners. Scott struck out Andruw Monasterio and retired Frelick on a grounder to second to force extra innings.

It was Scott’s sixth blown save of the season, which is the most in MLB.

Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow struck out five and gave up an unearned run, three walks and two hits over five innings in his first appearance since April 27. He had been on the injured list because of shoulder inflammation.

Milwaukee’s Jose Quintana struck out four and gave up four walks, two hits and one run in six innings. He didn’t give up a hit until Esteury Ruiz’s two-out single in the fifth.

The Dodgers broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh and had a chance to extend their lead later in the inning, but Nick Mears retired Freeman on a grounder to first with the bases loaded.

“I thought the way we competed, I liked that,” Roberts said. “Took some good at-bats. I thought we fought. But couldn’t put a crooked number up.”
