Brewers Beat Dodgers 5-4, Snap Winning Streak

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4, snapping the Dodgers' five-game winning streak. Walker Buehler, returning from a hip injury, struggled on the mound, allowing four runs (one earned) over 3 1/3 innings, walking four batters and striking out three. Despite an early 3-0 lead for the Dodgers, defensive errors contributed to the Brewers' comeback, particularly a misplay by Mookie Betts that allowed the deciding run to score in the seventh inning. The loss tightened the Dodgers' lead in the NL West, now just 2.5 games ahead of the Padres and Diamondbacks, both of whom won on the same day. Buehler acknowledged the need to improve his performance, expressing hope for a return to his previous All-Star level. His outing illustrated ongoing difficulties after missing the entire 2023 season due to Tommy John surgery.
