The Dodgers were locked in a pitchers' duel with the Brewers, relying entirely on Shohei Ohtani to bring home their only run, but they ultimately fell to the opposing team's flame-throwing rookie Misiorowski.

• Misiorowski started today and allowed just 1 run over 6 innings while recording 6 strikeouts, earning his 12th win of the season.
• Ohtani drove in the Dodgers' only run of the game with a triple in the 3rd inning.
• In a bases-loaded jam in the 5th inning, Misiorowski struck out Ohtani and Freeman back to back, defusing the Dodgers' best chance to close the gap.
• He had declared before the game that he would challenge Ohtani with fastballs, and in Ohtani's first at-bat today he fired 6 straight fastballs topping 102 mph, even hitting 104 mph on four consecutive pitches to open the at-bat.

Outlook: The Dodgers' lineup struggles to score against this kind of elite power pitcher, and forcing him out while holding down the runs allowed can already be counted as a gain; the key to winning or losing still lies in capitalizing on the few offensive opportunities they get.
