Milwaukee erased a 4-2 deficit with four straight ninth-inning singles, then added Jake Bauers’ go-ahead hit to open a four-game series with a 7-4 win over Los Angeles.
Edwin Díaz entered to close it out but allowed three straight hits and the tying run; Alex Vesia then gave up Bauers’ RBI single before Trevor Megill retired Mookie Betts, Max Muncy and Kyle Tucker in order.
Muncy had put the Dodgers ahead with a sixth-inning three-run pinch-hit homer, his 131st at Dodger Stadium to set the ballpark record, but Los Angeles did not score again.
The result tightened the race for a first-round bye: the Brewers improved to 75-47, the Dodgers fell to 73-49, and Atlanta sits between them at 73-48.
