This is a big series. This is going to decide kind of the future of what the playoffs are going to look like. That's what's at stake here. The Brewers win these next three games here. And if they tie with the Dodgers at the end of the regular season , they would own a tiebreaker to potentially get one of those top seeds in the box has quietly turned himself into a top 10 pitcher in the national league. He comes in with a 338 earned run average lowest in the national league. He is sitting on 10 wins for the first time in his career that is tied for six most in the league first offering to and that is lifted high in the air to center but very playable Mitchell coming into his left camping underneath of it and one pitch and one out for Colin and we are underway to be a fly ball in the left on the warning track off the for out number two. Now the count is full. It's 32. Here's the pitch and popped up, left side, racing out into left field is adam, he'll call off Chio and make the catch and the inning is over a 123 inning for Colin against this Dodgers top three spotlight on gavin Stone. His 1st 15 starts outstanding an all star level rookie of the year level. The last six going the other way on it soft liner to short, he only two pitches to get one out in the last six starts. He's given a 21 earned runs in his last 27 and a third inning and a line drive to right center field and able to get there. But it, and Chur is into second base. That will be a double for Jackson. Chur should have had it. He got there just off the end of the glove an opportunity for the Brewers to take the lead in the first inning. He swings, it's a ground ball to third grabs. It looks the runner back throws to first for the out and there are two away from Milwaukee brings up Tyler Black first game in the big league since the end of June guy is a hitter. No doubt about that. He's hit everywhere. He's been 12 outside corner three to the second inning. We go no score. Colin Ray back out there to face 45 and six for the Dodgers two pitch swinging. Miss struck out fastball at 92 and he strikes out to Oscar Hernandez, his first strikeout of the night for Colin Ray and he's retired the first four that he's faced so far in this game. And now here's Gavin Locks, 11 chopper on the right side charging it is to fields and a flip to first in time to get lock and there's two away Will Smith, definitely one of the best catchers in baseball. It seems weird to say this about a guy that is the catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, sometimes I think he's maybe a bit underappreciated hit well down the left field line, that ball is deep, that ball is gone. And upper deck home run just inside the foul pole and Will smith makes it one. Nothing Dodgers with a two out solo home run. His 16th home run of the season , 16th home run to Will smith first since July 6th one. Nothing Dodgers out in front. We head to the third inning, so two down and back to Otani. Oh my word. Goodbye in the good land second deck for Otani second home run of the game and the Dodgers double the lead. He got a second one that he likes this one. He didn't miss just the sound alone that he generates when he really squares it up. Just the sound catches your attention. Number 37 for Otani. He's going deep in back to back games to start the series against the Brew crew. Second time through about to begin with Bryce to look out liner over the head of stone, but right into the glove of Rojas that'll wake you up. Micky's like, what's the big deal? Gavin? You're ducking. I'm, you're only 60 ft six inches. Come back here on the edge of the outfield grass. Watch your lips will be the 10th pitch of this sequence to between Stone and Contreras hit high in the air in the left. This is deep Hernandez back track wall watching run another one for William Contreras. He's driven in all the Brewers runs in the series and it's a 2 to 1 ball game of the third Contreras. It's his 15th of the season. That was majestic. That was up into the setting sky and it's soared. He's back to punishing mistakes and even doing damage on good pitches too. Going to try to put up a zero in his fourth changing solo blasts in the third and a base hit back up the middle by Oscar hernandez. The Dodgers the second time through the order against Ray are starting to get some really nice swings. Three of the four have hits. I know we've pumped up Colin and what a great year he's having and he is, statistically, it's a great year but peripherally it is not the actual, er, a coming in the game is 338 the expected , er, a from the exit velocities and all the different things that he has given up is a 476 that's over a point and a half higher. So the Dodgers probably have the ability to get a few more runs. First pitch swinging high in the air right field. A home run. It is homecoming, just crushed it. That is a sweet swing right there with more than 20 family and friends in the stands here at field tonight, Gavin Lux goes deep. I'm not sure we've ever seen Gavin stay in the box and watch one. He deserves it after the swing. Still. Nobody out in the top of the fourth. The lead has swelled to three 2nd and 3rd. Now, four straight hits against Collin today. Tough spot for Colin here with nobody. You take a miracle to keep Will Smith from scoring the idea right now to keep Rojas from scoring #### to left field, it will hang up for Chio Smith tags from third. He will score on the sac fly and the Dodgers have a handful and here comes the number nine batter Andy Paez runner still at second Rojas belted down the left field line. That ball is going off the pole for a home run. Second two run homer of the inning for the Dodgers ninth of the season for Paz first time in Colin Rays career that he has allowed four homers in an appearance. The Dodgers just keep the Conga line going. It's damage done. Five on the board for the Dodgers Stone trying to get a win, the six run lead. You can go strength against strength, show him anything that you don't need to trickle. It's a one, 23 bottom of the fifth inning seven in a row. Retired by Glin Stone Brewers with two men on two to Joey's on and chopped softly to third. Tough play behind the bag. Backhanded Hernandez. No play hernandez. That run scores. It's a little dribbler for an RB I infield single by Joey Ortiz and it's now 7 to 22 on two out , two strike pitch from that's three strike three called a fastball on the outside third of the plate and Tang watched it go by who's the only guy in the Dodger lamp that doesn't have a hit this guy. So let's go. Let's put the glasses to good work. There you go. Oral a hit for Quique Hernandez. It'll be extra bases. That was new and different. But maybe that's just because it's the last hit for the starting lineup. #### is good enough to be at the front of the pack as far as if the Dodgers put out a da dance number as a group. I don't know what he's doing. If you know what Kiks doing, you're on another planet. Two outs top of the eighth, got him. 97 elevated Otani is gone and Meares puts up a zero as he strikes out the side in the eighth and the Brewers down to their final out in the bottom of the 9th. 1st pitch from Landon Knack is popped up. This will do it when it drops into the glove of, that's a win for L A Landon completes the four inning save, saves it for Gavin Stone who gets his 10th win of the year. Good day for the Dodgers.
