The Los Angeles Dodgers snapped a three-game losing streak on Wednesday night, earning a 6-4 walk-off victory in the 10th inning over the Milwaukee Brewers at Dodger Stadium.
The big swing of the night came off the bat of Yasmani Grandal, who hit a two-run walk-off home run off Brewers reliever Matt Albers in the 10th. Matt Kemp set the stage for Grandal’s homer by singling to begin the inning, which snapped an 0-for-26 streak for him.
That wasn’t Grandal only big swing in the game, as he slugged a solo shot to break up Brewers starter Chase Anderson’s perfect game to lead off the fifth inning. Grandal has 19 home runs on the season, which is the most in the National League among catchers.
Brian Dozier, who made his Dodgers debut after being acquired from the Minnesota Twins before the non-waiver trade deadline, had an impressive showing at the plate as well.
He followed up Grandal’s big swing in the fifth by going back-to-back to hit his first home run with the Dodgers. Dozier received a curtain call from the Dodger Stadium fans after that long ball. Overall, he went 3-for-4 with a double as well.
Rich Hill turned in another strong outing on the mound for the Dodgers. He went six innings, allowing just six hits and two runs (one earned) with four strikeouts and one walk to keep his team in the game while they were struggling on offense for the first few innings.
