Yoshinobu Yamamoto faced a brutal outing against the Milwaukee Brewers, marking the shortest start of his MLB career. The Dodgers' ace struggled early, giving up a three-run home run to Andrew Vaughn and following it with a series of unfortunate events, including a defensive error by Mookie Betts that extended the disastrous first inning. By the time manager Dave Roberts called for a reliever, Yamamoto had thrown 41 pitches and conceded five runs. The Dodgers, already missing key players like Teoscar Hernández and Tommy Edman due to injuries, could not muster a comeback, ultimately losing 9-1.

The Dodgers' lineup looked frail, managing only five hits against Brewers' Freddy Peralta, who delivered six innings of shutout ball. With their roster stretched thin, the Dodgers are hoping for a quick recovery for their injured players as they embark on a crucial road trip.
