The Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to eight games with a 2-0 shutout victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. Quinn Priester dominated on the mound, silencing the Dodgers’ lineup and continuing Milwaukee’s impressive run.

Yelich's swing is still broken but at least he drew two walks. Baby steps 🙃

Can we talk about how empty the stadium looked? 'Greatest rivalry in baseball' my ass. Both teams' fans are fairweather.

Betting on Brewers to upset was the dumbest take. Dodgers still take the series easily, mark my words.

Spoken like someone who didn't watch the game. Milwaukee's pitching depth is being slept on.

Brewers vs Dodgers: Who Won Last Night’s Game (July 18)?
The Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to eight games with a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in last night’s series opener at Dodger Stadium. Andrew Vaughn continued his hot streak against Dodgers pitching, driving in two runs with a third-inning double. The Brewers’ bullpen held firm after Freddy Peralta delivered 5.2 strong innings, striking out seven.
The Dodgers mounted a late rally in the eighth inning with solo homers from Will Smith and Teoscar Hernández, but Devin Williams shut the door in the ninth for his 24th save of the season. This marks Milwaukee’s eighth consecutive win and their third victory over Los Angeles this month.
Key Moments from the Game
- Christian Yelich’s RBI single in the first inning set the tone
- Vaughn’s two-run double in the third proved decisive
- Elieser Hernández escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth
How Did Andrew Vaughn Get Traded to the Brewers?
Andrew Vaughn’s midseason acquisition from the Chicago White Sox has transformed Milwaukee’s lineup. The first baseman/outfielder was acquired on July 2nd in exchange for three prospects, including Milwaukee’s #5 ranked minor leaguer. Since joining the Brewers, Vaughn is batting .310 with 4 home runs and 14 RBIs in just 12 games.
Who’s Pitching Tonight in Dodgers vs Brewers?
| Team | Starting Pitcher | Season Stats |
|---|---|---|
| Brewers | Corbin Burnes (9-4, 3.12 ERA) | 1.08 WHIP, 136 Ks |
| Dodgers | Tyler Glasnow (8-5, 3.45 ERA) | 1.02 WHIP, 158 Ks |
Tonight’s marquee pitching matchup features two of the National League’s premier right-handers. Burnes enters with a 2.25 ERA over his last five starts, while Glasnow has been inconsistent since returning from a minor finger injury. The Dodgers desperately need Glasnow to deliver a quality start after their bullpen was taxed in last night’s loss.
Why Are the Brewers Suddenly Dominating the Dodgers?
The Brewers’ recent success against the Dodgers stems from three key factors:
- Superior bullpen management – Milwaukee’s relievers have a 1.89 ERA in the 7th-9th innings this month
- Execution with runners in scoring position (.298 average vs. LA’s .241)
- Disrupting Dodgers’ rhythm with aggressive base running (7 stolen bases in last 3 meetings)
Can the Dodgers Stop Their Losing Streak Against Milwaukee?
Los Angeles faces mounting pressure after dropping five of their last six games against Milwaukee dating back to early July. The Dodgers’ typically potent offense has scored just 12 runs in those five losses. Manager Dave Roberts hinted at lineup changes tonight, possibly moving Mookie Betts back to leadoff and giving James Outman more playing time against right-handed pitching.
Key Adjustments Needed
- Better plate discipline against Milwaukee’s breaking balls
- Earlier bullpen intervention when starters struggle
- More aggressive defensive positioning against pull hitters

Brewers pulled off a surprise win last night! Dodgers’ bullpen looked shaky, but Milwaukee’s offense finally woke up. 😤 Next game’s pitching matchup should be interesting.
Shaky? Dodgers blew it in the 8th. Bullpen management was a joke.
Brewers’ small-ball strategy actually worked for once. Credit where it’s due.
Who cares about pitching? That umpire last night was blind as a bat. Worst strike zone I’ve seen all season 🤬
Betting on Brewers to upset was the dumbest take. Dodgers still take the series easily, mark my words.
