Mon 22 7p: Urias vs. Lauer Tue 23 7p: Gonsolin vs. Burnes Wed 24 6p: Heaney vs. Ashby
The Dodgers just came off an impressive sweep of the Marlins, including Dustin May's successful return to the major leagues, plus a whupping of Sandy Alcantara on Sunday. But now we host the Brewers, who are fighting for a wild card slot (1.5 games behind the third slot, inhabited by the Phillies), and who split four with us in Milwaukee.
The Dodgers squad, in its entirety, ended up with a broken wrist and fractured ribs on that visit to Milwaukee. Fortunately for the team on the field, the injury was absorbed by reporter David Vassegh, rather than one of the Dodgers players. But Vassegh even got his own coverage, eclipsing news of the Dodgers' major-league-leading record.
Get well soon, @THEREAL_DV.

@karen! Good to see you again. Sorry I was out of pocket for a lot of July there...just traveling :)
Lux with a single, with JT on second, and JT is thrown out by Yelich at home.
Justin Turner is SO SLOW
0-0 through three full
And, Milwaukee opens up the scoring. Urias hits a HR off of Urias.
1-0 MIL through six full. Urias gives way to Vesia.
Urias: 84 pitches, 6.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 7 Ks, 1 BB, 1 HR. 2.36 ERA.
Vesia gets Urias and Hiura to K swinging
B7. Lux opening this up.
Bellinger with a one-out single, but Betts grounds out and then Trea Turner takes called strike three.
1-0 MIL through 7.
Again, a baserunner, and again, the Dodgers botch the opportunity.
1-0 Milwaukee through eight.
Dodgers 1-for-4 with RISP.
That play with Justin Turner getting thrown out at home looks worse and worse.
Well, Bickford let this one get away. Back-to-back doubles to lead off the inning, so it's 2-0 Brewers in T9.
Dammit.
Bickford blows.
4-0 Milwaukee as Bickford gives up three runs.
Chris Taylor is a disaster with contact this year
That was...not a good game.
walker buehler had tommy john surgery today. is gone til 2024
Game 2: we are up 4-0. That’s good.
Yeah, the Buehler news is a huge bummer. Probably no 2023 for him, as well.
Lux scratched with a neck issue. He won’t play tomorrow, either.
Dodgers up 7-1 in the fifth. Trayce Thompson with a huge 3 run bomb earlier.
Top 8, two out, Chris Martin in to relieve David Price. Man on first. Dodgers up 7-1
Brewers send C Victor Caratini into pitch B8. Dodgers score three more. It’s 10-1
Final 10-1. Burnes goes 3.2 IP and gives up 7 ER.
WIN
Hanser Alberto pitched the ninth and got three quick outs!
Earlier game today (6p first pitch)
Your stat of the day: Hanser Alberto's ERA+ (246) is now fourth on the Dodgers team, behind only Caleb Ferguson (962), Yency Almonte (362), and Evan Phillips (322).
Alberto: 5 G, 5.0 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 Ks, 22 BF.

Dodgers and Brewers have split six games this season.
This is the rubber match.
(No pressure, Heaney.)

Peter Strzelecki in to pitch for Milwaukee.
