Postgame: Brewers 6, Dodgers 3

| | Comments (0) |

The Brewers beat the Dodgers 6-3 tonight at Miller Park. For a full recap and boxscore click here.

THE BARE ESSENTIALS:

• Dodger starter Jeff Weaver went just 3 1/3 innings in what Joe Torre called his worst outing of the year. Still, Weaver was only charged with two earned runs due to a throwing error by Rafael Furcal in the first.

• Although he struck out seven in five innings, Brewers starter Mike Burns definitely wasn't fooling the Dodgers. Still, he got the job done and three Milwaukee relievers combined to toss four scoreless innings.

• No one really shined offensively for the Dodgers, as no player had more than one hit. Only Russell Martin and Orlando Hudson were held hitless.

• All three LA runs came in the fifth on back-to-back jacks by Rafael Furcal and Andre Ethier.

ETC...ETC:

• Scott Elbert -- fresh off a call-up from Albuquerque (with Blake DeWitt being sent down -- pitched wonderfully, going 2 2/3 hitless while allowing only one walk.

• Jonathan Broxton's going to miss the All-Star Game with a toe injury.

• The Dodgers couldn't get to Brewers closer Trevor Hoffman this time, as the 41-year-old saved his 20th in 1-2-3 fashion after blowing a save last night.

ON DECK:

• The Dodgers attempt to win the series in Milwaukee, sending out lefthander Clayton Kershaw (6-5, 3.27) to face Brewers ace Yovani Gallardo (8-6, 2.95) in an 11:05 AM PST start.
