Despite homers from Shohei Ohtani, Miguel Rojas, and Tommy Edman, the Dodgers can’t overcome Milwaukee’s timely hits and lose 8-7, which is their fifth straight loss to the Brewers.

Quinn Priester and Caleb Durbin outshined the highest-payroll-in-baseball Dodgers to lead the Brewers to their latest win.

Freddy Peralta takes the ball for the Brewers against Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan. Follow along for live updates. TV channel: FanDuel Sports Wisconsin.

Every time it looked like the Dodgers were coming back on Saturday, the Brewers had a response. They answered every rally, every hit, every home run in every inning.

The Brewers occupy an interesting space as a small-market franchise enjoying consistent success, especially as an MLB labor stoppage looms.

While typical Brewers front office caveats apply — they’re never going to say no to conversations on any player — general manager Matt Arnold indicated July 18 ahead of his team’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers that he has every expectation that Peralta is still taking the ball in a Brewers uniform after the deadline.

Freeland is a well-regarded prospect with nearly a full season of Triple-A experience to his credit. He would be part of most big-league rosters at this point. The Dodgers, though, don't have a clear role for him, which is why I'm including him here as a dark horse candidate for a team in need of a shortstop.
