Jacob Misiorowski gave up five hits and one run over six innings as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 on Saturday night. ESPN reported that Misiorowski used an effective slider to escape a bases-loaded jam, striking out Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman in the process.
Joey Ortiz and William Contreras each hit two-run homers for Milwaukee, which improved to 76-48 and holds first place in the NL Central. The Dodgers, now 74-50, remain atop the NL West but trail 2-1 in the series.
The matchup was billed as pitting a trade target against a trade prize, though the available reporting does not detail those designations or which player held which label. Meanwhile, Dodgers notes from multiple outlets focused on Justin Wrobleski's drop in consistency since the All-Star break, though specifics about the pitcher's recent performance were not provided in the available summaries.
