Peralta pitches 6 shutout innings and Brewers chase Yamamoto early in 9-1 rout of Dodgers
Associated Press MILWAUKEE (AP) — Andrew Vaughn hit a three-run homer in his first plate appearance with his new team, Freddy Peralta threw six shutout innings and the Milwaukee Brewers trounced the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-1 on Monday night. Peralta (10-4) struck out seven while allowing five hits and one walk, lowering his ERA to 2.74. Christian Yelich added a two-run homer for Milwaukee. Los Angeles starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto (8-7) got just two outs before leaving the shortest start of his career as the Dodgers lost their fourth straight. His quick exit spoiled a starting pitching matchup featuring two NL All-Stars in Peralta and Yamamoto. With two outs in the first inning, Yamamoto allowed a 409-foot shot to Vaughn, who got called up from the minors earlier in the day as the Brewers put first baseman Rhys Hoskins on the injured list. The Brewers acquired Vaughn from the Chicago White Sox last month. Vaughn became the fifth player in franchise history — and first since Gabe Gross in 2006 — to homer in his first plate appearance with the team. The Brewers added two unearned runs later in the inning. Milwaukee extended its lead to 7-0 in the fifth on Brice Turang's two-out, two-run single off Will Klein. The Brewers made it 9-0 when Yelich homered off Julian Fernandez in the seventh. The Dodgers got their run on Esteury Ruiz's two-out RBI single in the eighth. Key moment The Dodgers already trailed 3-0 with two outs in the first when shortstop Mookie Betts fielded a routine grounder from Caleb Durbin and bounced a throw to first baseman Freddie Freeman, who was unable to scoop it. Betts' error enabled Isaac Collins to score from second. The Brewers added a fifth run on Andruw Monasterio's RBI single that knocked Yamamoto out of the game. Key stat The Dodgers have lost their last four games by a combined score of 38-7. That follows a 15-3 stretch. Up next Clayton Kershaw (4-0, 3.43 ERA) makes his first appearance for the Dodgers since joining the 3,000-strikeout club, and rookie Jacob Misiorowski (3-1, 3.20) pitches for the Brewers as the series continues Tuesday. ___ AP MLB: recommended

Dodgers can't overcome Yoshinobu Yamamoto's horrific first inning, fall to Brewers
Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto looks on during a brutal first inning against the Brewers Monday in Milwaukee. (Aaron Gash / Associated Press) Yoshinobu Yamamoto was one pitch away from a clean first inning Monday night. Instead, it devolved into a sudden, unstoppable nightmare. In the shortest start of his MLB career, and in an outing that somehow rivaled his disastrous debut in the majors last March in South Korea, Yamamoto missed one chance after the next to escape the bottom of the first against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. Poor defense and bad batted-ball luck didn't help in what became a 41-pitch collapse. Advertisement By the time it was all over, the Brewers were leading by five runs, manager Dave Roberts was summoning a reliever just two outs into the game, and the Dodgers were well on their way to a fourth consecutive defeat, never coming close to a comeback in a 9-1 loss to open a six-game road trip. Read more: How Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto 'elevated his game to another level' in his second year The trouble started quickly beneath an open retractable roof on a mild summer night in Wisconsin. Sal Frelick hammered a hanging curveball for a leadoff double. Willson Contreras drew a walk when Yamamoto couldn't locate his splitter near the zone. And the two outs that followed — a fly ball from Jackson Chourio and grounder from Christian Yelich — proved to be only a temporary reprieve. Advertisement In the next at-bat, newly acquired Brewers slugger Andrew Vaughn came to the plate in his first game with the team. He got three straight sliders from Yamamoto to start, fanning on the first before laying off two that missed the zone next. Then, after a called strike on a fastball at the knees evened the count 2-and-2, catcher Will Smith dialed up another curveball from Yamamoto again. It was supposed to be down and on the outside corner. Instead, it fluttered up and above the zone. Vaughn connected with a mighty upper-cut swing. The ball soared beyond the left-field wall, making it 3-0 Brewers just like that. Somehow, the inning would only get worse from there. Read more: 'Really impressed.' Shohei Ohtani's return to two-way role going (mostly) well a month in Advertisement Despite entering the night coming off a first-career All-Star selection, and leading the majors in road ERA at 1.57, Yamamoto failed to settle down. In a 1-and-2 count against Isaac Collins, he left a fastball down the middle that was hammered for a single. After falling behind 3-and-0 to Brice Turang, Yamamoto worked the count full only to miss badly with a fastball and issue an inning-extending walk. With his pitch count climbing at that point, Roberts began to stir the bullpen. Yamamoto appeared to finally find an escape route against Caleb Durbin, inducing a grounder with a splitter that was hit straight to shortstop Mookie Betts. But, in a rare defensive lapse at his new position, Betts spiked a throw to first that Freddie Freeman couldn't corral. Collins came racing around from second to score. The inning stayed alive when it once again should've ended. Advertisement Read more: Clayton Kershaw grateful for 'weird but cool' All-Star selection as 'Legend Pick' Yamamoto's leash finally ran out on pitch 41, when Andruw Monasterio lobbed a bloop RBI single down the right-field line in the next at-bat. As another run scored, Roberts came walking out of the bullpen to give the team's season-long ace an unimaginably early hook. The two teams played the final eight innings. But the result already seemed well in hand. The Dodgers' lineup was shorthanded, missing Teoscar Hernández with a bruised foot and Tommy Edman with a pinky toe fracture (both are expected back in the lineup by Wednesday). Before the game, Kiké Hernández was also put on the injured list with an elbow injury that had been bothering him since he made an awkward slide in Cleveland in late May, and flared up to the point of requiring a cortisone shot this past weekend. Not to be forgotten, Max Muncy also remains sidelined by his bum knee. Advertisement In their places, the Dodgers started James Outman in center field (who was called up from triple A pregame), Miguel Rojas at third base and Hyeseong Kim at second against Brewers All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta. The outcome was predictable: Six innings of shutout ball in which the Dodgers managed only five hits, one walk and struck out seven times. Sign up for more Dodgers news with Dodgers Dugout.
