Brewers, Dodgers Clash in All-Star Pitcher Showdown

The Milwaukee Brewers host the Los Angeles Dodgers for a three-game series, with both teams sending recently named All-Star pitchers—Freddy Peralta for the Brewers and Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the Dodgers—to the mound. Peralta, a two-time All-Star, is coming off a strong season and a series win against the Marlins. Yamamoto, in his first All-Star season, carries a 2.51 ERA as the Dodgers look to rebound after a sweep by the Astros. Both teams are contending with injuries to key players, including Rhys Hoskins for Milwaukee and Enrique Hernandez for Los Angeles. The series is considered a pivotal matchup ahead of the All-Star break, with both clubs seeking momentum. The Dodgers' offense has struggled recently, managing just six runs in their last three games.
