Brewers Aim for Series Victory Against Dodgers in Los Angeles

The Milwaukee Brewers are seeking to clinch a series victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers after a tough start to their West Coast trip, which included a sweep by the San Diego Padres. The Brewers have managed to bounce back, winning two of the first three games in Los Angeles.

Starting pitcher J.P. Henderson, 24, has been a reliable asset for the Brewers this season, boasting a record of 6-2 and a 2.88 ERA. Despite suffering his second loss in his last outing, where he allowed three runs over 6 1/3 innings, Henderson has struck out 69 batters in 56 1/3 innings this year.

On the opposing side, the Dodgers will feature newly acquired pitcher Tarik Skubal, who has a season ERA of 2.93 over 18 starts. However, his performance has dipped slightly since joining Los Angeles, with a 4.09 ERA in two appearances. Skubal will look to improve against the Brewers after a loss to the Cubs and a no-decision against the Royals.

In roster updates, Brice Turang is on the mend and anticipates returning to the lineup on Tuesday against the Mariners. Meanwhile, Shane Drohan is expected to transition to the bullpen following his next start, as he has reached a total of 112 innings this season, nearing his career-high of 129 2/3 innings.

Today's lineup features William Contreras batting leadoff for the Brewers, a role he has filled 11 times this season. The rest of the batting order includes Luis Lara, Jackson Chourio, Jake Bauers, and Andrew Vaughn, with Gary Sánchez catching and batting sixth. The game is set to begin at 3:10 p.m. CT, broadcasted on Brewers TV and the Brewers Radio Network.
