Yamamoto shines in Milwaukee again as Dodgers defeat Brewers 5-1
Andy Pages hit a two-run homer immediately after Kyle Tucker delivered a tiebreaking two-run triple in the fifth inning of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Andy Pages hit a two-run homer immediately after Kyle Tucker delivered a tiebreaking two-run triple in the fifth inning to back up Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s strong pitching as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 on Sunday.
Los Angeles won two of three in Milwaukee this weekend to cap a 7-2 trip. The Brewers had gone 6-0-1 over their last seven series before losing this one.
Yamamoto (4-4) allowed one run over seven innings while facing the Brewers for the first time since throwing a three-hitter in Game 2 of last season's NL Championship Series, another 5-1 Dodgers triumph in Milwaukee.
Will Klein worked the eighth and Tanner Scott pitched the ninth as Los Angeles' bullpen extended its modern-day franchise record streak of scoreless innings to 38. According to Sportradar, the last time any major league bullpen had this long a streak was in September 2017, when Cleveland relievers threw 39 straight scoreless innings.
The game was tied 1-all when Los Angeles’ Mookie Betts led off the fifth inning with a single off Brandon Sproat, who then walked Freddie Freeman before leaving the game. Tucker greeted Shane Drohan by sending a 3-2 pitch just inside the right-field line to score Betts and Freeman.
Pages drove Drohan’s next pitch over the left-field wall to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 5-1. The 380-foot blast was the first homer Drohan has allowed, and it came on the rookie’s 10th career appearance.
Sproat (1-3) continually pitched out of trouble until running out of gas in the fifth.
