Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Rōki Sasaki's dominance was no match for the Milwaukee Brewers' offense, as the visitors delivered a stunning 7-2 upset at Dodger Stadium on Thursday night.
The Brewers visit Dodger Stadium for the first time since the Game 4 loss in last year's NLCS, a series the Dodgers ultimately won. Los Angeles was without a key middle infielder, as Mookie Betts got a scheduled day off.
Thursday's game info was as follows: the matchup was between the Dodgers and Brewers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, with a start time of 7:10 p.m. PT. Fans could catch the action on SportsNet LA or tune in on the radio via AM 570 (English) or KTNQ 1020 AM (Spanish).
The Brewers, who were without their top position player Brice Turang due to right knee pain, capitalized on the Dodgers' lineup, which was announced earlier in the day. The lineup included Corey Seager, who has been on a hot streak lately.
The Dodgers' historic run, which had seen them win 15 of their last 20 games, hit the skids with this loss. The Brewers' victory marked their first win over the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium since 2023.
The game's outcome was a significant upset, as the Brewers were heavy underdogs going into the matchup. The Dodgers' pitching staff, which had been a strength all season, was unable to contain the Brewers' offense.
The loss drops the Dodgers to 78-45 on the season, while the Brewers improve to 65-59. The two teams will face off again on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.
