Four consecutive singles sparked the comeback, per reporting from multiple outlets. Jackson Chourio, Garrett Mitchell, and Jake Bauers each delivered RBI singles during the ninth-inning surge that gave the Brewers the lead.
The loss fell on Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz, who allowed the go-ahead runs. Yahoo Sports reported that manager Dave Roberts had expressed optimism that Díaz had turned a corner since returning from injury, but the closer gave up the lead in the loss. The Brewers improved to 75-47 and remain atop the NL Central, while the Dodgers fall to 73-49 in the NL West.
