Brewers Extend Win Streak to Eight with 2-0 Victory over Dodgers

The Milwaukee Brewers began the second half of their 2025 season with a 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, extending their winning streak to eight games. Quinn Priester delivered a dominant pitching performance, throwing six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts while facing the National League's top offense. Caleb Durbin powered the Brewers' offense, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double, providing the only multi-hit effort in the game. Durbin's home run was a 410-foot blast to center field, showcasing his ability to hit with power after the All-Star break. Manager Pat Murphy demonstrated trust in Priester by allowing him to pitch deep into the game despite the strong Dodgers lineup, a decision that paid off as Priester effectively neutralized hitters like Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani. Durbin has been a consistent offensive contributor this July, improving his season statistics with five homers, 34 RBIs, and eight stolen bases over 276 plate appearances.
