Dodgers bullpen sets record-long scoreless streak to snap Brewers skid

13, 2024. Nine straight times since then, they had lost to their smaller-market –– and much less-well-funded –– fellow National League contenders, their longest active streak against any opponent. The Dodgers have had no problem beating the Brewers in the playoffs in recent years.

Down three runs straight out of the gate after a 35-pitch first inning from Roki Sasaki , the Dodgers surged in front with a four-run rally in the fourth; keyed by doubles from Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages, then a go-ahead three-run blast from Teoscar Hernández clanged off the left-field foul pole. Hernández would help the team pull away late, as well, matching his MLB career-high with six RBIs after a run-scoring single in a three-run eighth and a two-run single in a four-run ninth.
Overall, the Dodgers finished with 10 hits and a season-high 11 walks. It was their third time scoring double-digit runs in the last week.
