Chourio drives in winning run in 10th as Brewers win 3-2 and hand Dodgers their 6th straight loss
The Brewers' only two previous sweeps of the Dodgers came at Los Angeles, in May 2012 and August 2017. The NL West-leading Dodgers have lost six straight.
Milwaukee's Trevor Megill (2-2) struck out Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages and Tommy Edman in order in the top of the 10th.
William Contreras led off the bottom of the 10th with a fly to deep center off Kirby Yates (4-3) that advanced automatic runner Sal Frelick to third. Chourio then singled through the left side of a drawn-in infield for his first career walk-off hit.
The Brewers tied the game in the ninth when pinch-hitter Andrew Vaughn's one-out single off Tanner Scott brought home Isaac Collins and put runners on the corners. Scott struck out Andruw Monasterio and retired Frelick on a grounder to second to force extra innings.
Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow struck out five and allowed one unearned run, three walks and two hits over six innings in his first appearance since April 27. He had been on the injured list with shoulder inflammation.
Milwaukee's José Quintana struck out four and allowed four walks, two hits and one run in six innings. He didn't allow a hit until Esteury Ruiz's two-out single in the fifth.
Key moment
The Dodgers broke a 1-all tie in the seventh and had a chance to extend their lead later in the inning, but Nick Mears retired Freeman on a grounder to first with the bases loaded.
Key stat
The Dodgers have lost six straight for the first time since April 2019. They have totaled 11 runs during the skid.
Up next
The Dodgers visit San Francisco on Friday. Likely starters are Dustin May (5-5, 4.82 ERA) for the Dodgers and Logan Webb (8-6, 2.62) for the Giants.
The Brewers host Washington on Friday. Quinn Priester (6-2, 3.59) will start for Milwaukee. Mitchell Parker (5-9, 4.72) pitches for Washington.

Yankees cut ties with $90 million batting champion in shock decision after Jazz Chisholm move
The New York Yankees once committed six years and $90 million to DJ LeMahieu. Somehow, he never appeared in a single playoff game for the Bronx Bombers. And on Wednesday, the Yankees designated him for assignment. If he clears waivers (which he will given that contract), he'll have the chance to elect free agency. Advertisement It's an odd ending, spurred in part by the Yankees' choice to move Jazz Chisholm back to his preferred spot at second base. LeMahieu ended up playing in seven seasons with the Yankees and batting .278 in pinstripes. He did have his magnificent, COVID-shortened .364 average in 2020, after hitting .327 with 26 homers in 2019 in his first season in the Bronx. MORE:Aaron Judge breaks Mickey Mantle's single-season franchise record, and it's still July It was all downhill from there as LeMahieu aged, though. He actually had been fine this season, with a .266 average, but because he didn't have a great defensive spot to play, he became expendable. Advertisement The Yankees couldn't use LeMahieu at third, and so Chisholm moves back while New York likely seeks to solve the hot corner at the trade deadline. If LeMahieu chooses free agency, it'll be interesting to see if any contenders want him. He can still put the bat to the ball. MORE MLB NEWS:

A's Fall to Braves 9-2
The Braves got payback on the Athletics tonight, smacking down the A's 9-2 to even up the series and set up the rubber match for the finale tomorrow. Tough evening for the Green & Gold all around. Braves strike early, often Right-hander Mitch Spencer got the ball for the A's tonight. Making his 7th start of the season, Spence was shaky from the very first batter of the game, allowing a leadoff home run to Ronald Acuna Jr. to get this game going. Things got worse for Spence before they got better. The next two Braves collected hits before Atlanta's catcher Drake Baldwin launched a three-run homer to center field that made this a 4-0 game before Spence even got one out. Advertisement The Braves didn't let up on the former Rule 5 pick in the next inning. Two more runs came in on an Austin Rlley homer, and in the fourth inning Acuna Jr. hit the Braves' third homer of the night and his second of the game. It was 7-0 and this game was quickly getting out of hand. A's bats go missing The Atlanta starting pitcher on the other hand was carving up the A's lineup like butter. Right-hander Bryce Elder came into tonight with a high 5.92 ERA through 14 starts this year so the Athletics must have felt confidence coming into tonight, especially after yesterday's offensive outburst. Instead they had trouble all night against the right-hander, collecting just two hits and a walk through the first four frames. They managed to push one across against Elder in the fifth to break up the shutout attempt. Second baseman Zack Gelof started off the rally with his first hit of the season, a base hit to center that former A's shortstop Nick Allen couldn't make a play on. Center field rookie Denzel Clarke followed that base hit with one of his own, a double that put two runners in scoring position. All-Star snub Lawrence Butler brought Gelof in from third with an RBI groundout but that was all the A's could muster there. At least the A's were on the board. Advertisement Spence finally pulled, Braves keep adding on Considering the fact that he gave up six runs in the first two innings, the 27-year-old starter didn't seem long for this game. On the contrary, Spence would stick around for four more innings, allowing that second homer to Acuna in the fourth, and then an additional home run to Marcel Ozuna to lead off the sixth that wiped away the lone run the A's had scored the half-inning prior. Spence wound up sticking around to finish the frame, ending the day after six rough innings. Mitch Spence: 6 IP, 9 H, 8 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 5 HR, 79 pitches Easily the worst start of his season and probably career. Spence just did not have anything working in his repertoire tonight and the Braves punished him for it. It doesn't help pitching in a minor league ballpark, and it was a hot day in Sacramento with the ball flying every which way, but it was a tough way for Spence to end what was ultimately a successful first half that saw him force his way back into the starting rotation and solidify his spot. He'll now get the next 10-12 days to recover, decompress, and prepare for the marathon that is the second half of a baseball season. The first reliever out of Mark Kotsay's bullpen was lefty Hogan Harris and he allowed Atlanta's ninth run of the night when former Athletic Jurickson Profar drove in former Athletic Matt Olson with an RBI double in the seventh. Righty Elvis Alvarado handled the ninth and had a scoreless appearance in mop up duty. Advertisement A's get one final run Still facing Elder into the bottom of the sixth, the A's kept pestering the Braves and refused to go quietly. The A's collected three straight two-out hits to score their second run, with the big hit coming from Gio Urshela to bring in Tyler Soderstrom: That was all the A's would muster. The bats would manage just two more hits the rest of the night, a single from All-Star Brent Rooker and a single from Denzel Clarke. A tough all-around loss for the club. Spence was horrible from the jump and put his team in a massive early hole, but the offense didn't show up today against an opposing starting pitcher who has struggled all year and especially recently. Bright spots? Tyler Soderstrom and Denzel Clarke had two hits apiece (the only A's players with multiple hits tonight), the defense didn't make any errors, and no one got hurt. That's about it. Time to flush this one, and quick. Advertisement The A's will wrap up the Braves matchup tomorrow night and go for the series win against their NL East rivals. Left-hander JP Sears will get the ball for the 19th and final time of the first half, hoping to end his roller coaster of a half on a high note. Atlanta will counter with ace righty Spencer Strider, who hasn't quite returned to his peak form since returning from major elbow surgery. Could be a pitching duel, could be a slugfest. Gotta tune in to find out! More from
