The Dodgers (31-19) took two of three in San Diego, taking the rubber match 4-0 on Wednesday. Shohei Ohtani wasn’t sharp on the mound, but still threw five shutout innings and the bullpen continued their recent dominance for a series win. After an off day yesterday, the Dodgers get back in action and close out their nine-game road trip with three in Milwaukee against the surging Brewers (29-18). The NL Central has been strangely good this season, but the Brewers were in last place in the division on May 4 following a loss in St. Louis. They’re 11-3 since then and leaped over the struggling Cubs for the top spot in the division by sweeping the Cubs in their last series. The Brewers outscored the Cubs 19-5 in the three games, capped off by a 5-0 shutout win on Wednesday. The Brewers famously dominated the Dodgers in the regular season last year, sweeping them in LA and in Milwaukee. The Dodgers got back at them in the NLCS, as they swept the Brewers and held them to exactly one run in each of the four games.

Justin Wrobleski gets the ball for the Dodgers. Wrobo bounced back nicely last time out after a rough start against Atlanta with six solid innings in Anaheim, allowing two runs and seven hits. Logan Henderson starts for the Brewers, making the fifth start of his rookie season. Henderson got a spot start in April, starting the second game of a doubleheader in Milwaukee and allowing two runs in two innings. He went back down to the minors and came back up in the beginning of May. He’s made three starts in May and allowed five runs and 13 hits in 16 total innings with 20 strikeouts and only two walks. Henderson’s found this success despite facing two of the top-five offenses by wRC+ (the third-ranked Yankees and the fifth?-ranked?-NATIONALS??). He got his first win last time out in Minnesota, allowing six hits and one run (a solo homer) over five innings.
Dalton Rushing starts behind the plate after Will Smith caught all three in San Diego.

Not really any updates pregame, but River Ryan made his second start back from injury for OKC last night.
River Ryan delivered the goods for OKC again tonight.

Ryan had an excellent outing, allowing two hits over five shutout innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. Eric Lauer is slotting into the rotation to keep it with six starters, but Ryan figures to be in the mix eventually when he’s a bit more built up.

First pitch is scheduled for 4:40 PM PT and will be on SportsNet LA.
