Jackson Chourio’s walk-off single to left field in the 10th inning gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 3-2 victory and a three-game series sweep against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
After William Contreras’ fly ball to center moved automatic runner Sal Frelick to third, Chourio grounded Kirby Yates’ pitch into left for his first career walk-off hit and a four-game winning streak. Trevor Megill (2-2) pitched a scoreless 10th with three strikeouts for Milwaukee.
Miguel Rojas had two hits with a walk and two runs scored while Yates (4-3) took the loss for the Dodgers, who are on a season-long six-game losing streak. Los Angeles right-hander Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) returned from more than two months on the injured list to allow an unearned run over five innings.
Andrew Vaughn’s pinch-hit RBI single in the bottom of the ninth tied the game 2-2 and dealt Los Angeles’ late-inning left-hander Tanner Scott his sixth blown save.
The Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in the seventh on Mookie Betts’ bases-loaded sacrifice fly. Of Glasnow’s 85 pitches, 53 were for strikes as he allowed two hits with three walks and five strikeouts.
Milwaukee left-hander Carlos Quintana allowed a run and two hits in six innings with four walks and four strikeouts. He did not allow a hit until Esteury Ruiz’s single with two outs in the fifth.
Quintana escaped a jam in the sixth inning when the Dodgers had runners on first and second base with two out. The veteran got Tommy Edman out on a soft comebacker.
The Brewers manufactured a run to tie the game 1-1 in the bottom of the fifth. Jake Bauers led off with a walk and moved to second on a Glasnow balk. Bauers stole third and continued home on catcher Will Smith’s throwing error into left field.
The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fifth on Shohei Ohtani’s two-out, bases-loaded walk. Quintana avoided further damage by retiring Mookie Betts on a shallow fly bal to right.
Glasnow escaped a bases loaded, one out jam in the second by getting Jake Bauers on a foul pop to third and striking out Joey Ortiz.
