The Milwaukee Brewers dropped their second game in a row to the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 at American Family Field Tuesday night.
The Dodgers played long ball again with four home runs in the first four innings, capping a five-run fourth that made the score 7-1 against Brewer starter Colin Rea (10-4), who took the loss.
Will Smith had three hits, including a solo homer in the second inning, to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead off Rea. The Brewers only managed six hits all night off starter Gavin Stone (2-2) and reliever Landon Knack. Rhys Hoskins had two hits to lead Milwaukee, and William Contreras hit his second home run in as many days, but it was not enough as the Brewer bats cooled off after a hot stretch last week.
Milwaukee (67-52) still has a 7.5 lead over the St. Louis Cardinals in the Central Division and will play game three of the four-game series with the Dodgers Wednesday night, with the first pitch at 7:10 p.m.
