MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jackson Chourio singled home Sal Frelick with the winning run in the 10th inning as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat Los Angeles 3-2 to complete their first home sweep of the Dodgers in franchise history. The Brewers’ only two previous sweeps of the Dodgers came at Los Angeles, in May 2012 and August 2017. The NL West-leading Dodgers have lost six straight. Milwaukee’s Trevor Megill struck out Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages and Tommy Edman in order in the top of the 10th after the Brewers tied the game against Tanner Scott in the ninth.
The Brewers are off today.
