24 May
Summary
- Brewers seek fifth consecutive win Saturday night.
- Rookie Robert Gasser starts on the mound for Milwaukee.
- Dodgers counter with young Roki Sasaki, seeking series win.
The Milwaukee Brewers are seeking their fifth consecutive victory on Saturday night as they face the Los Angeles Dodgers in a bid to win the series. Young pitcher Robert Gasser is set to make his second start for the Brewers, looking to build on his previous outing where he allowed two earned runs over four innings.
The Dodgers will send Roki Sasaki to the mound. Sasaki, a talented but developing right-hander, has posted a 5.09 ERA this season. He is coming off his best start, pitching seven innings and allowing only one run against the Angels.
Milwaukee's lineup sees William Contreras receiving a scheduled day off after a recent home run, with Andrew Vaughn moving up to the third spot. Gary Sánchez will catch and bat fifth. Garrett Mitchell remains out of the lineup due to a sore back but is available to pinch-hit.
The Dodgers will feature their strong top of the order with Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman. This game presents a significant challenge for Gasser as he aims to solidify his rotation spot. First pitch is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. and will be nationally televised on FOX.
