MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — Kyle Tucker hit a tiebreaking two-run triple and Andy Pages followed with a two-run homer in the fifth inning, backing Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s strong pitching as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 on Sunday afternoon at American Family Field.

Yamamoto allowed one run over seven innings, scattering seven hits while striking out three. He improved to 4-4 on the season. The right-hander faced the Brewers for the first time since throwing a three-hitter in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series last October, a 5-1 Dodgers victory in Milwaukee.

The Dodgers won two of three in Milwaukee this weekend to cap a 7-2 road trip. The Brewers had gone 6-0-1 over their last seven series before losing this one.

Los Angeles improved to 33-20, while Milwaukee dropped to 30-20.

Milwaukee struck first in the bottom of the second inning. Jake Bauers was hit by a pitch after a successful challenge by the Brewers. Andrew Vaughn struck out, but Garrett Mitchell singled to left, moving Bauers to third. Sal Frelick then grounded into a force out, scoring Bauers. The Brewers threatened to add more but Joey Ortiz grounded out to end the inning with the score 1-0.

After Hyeseong Kim struck out, Miguel Rojas was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Shohei Ohtani grounded out to first baseman Andrew Vaughn, but the inning ended with the score 1-1.

The decisive fifth inning began with Mookie Betts singling on a ground ball to shortstop. Freddie Freeman walked. Tucker then tripled on a ground ball to right field, scoring Betts and Freeman to give the Dodgers a 3-1 lead. Pages followed by driving a 1-0 pitch over the left-field wall for his 11th home run of the season, scoring Tucker and making it 5-1. The Dodgers added no further runs in the inning, but the damage was done.

Brandon Sproat took the loss for Milwaukee, falling to 1-3. He allowed four hits and three earned runs over four innings, striking out seven and walking two. Sproat exited after the fifth inning, replaced by Shane Drohan, who allowed two hits and two earned runs over three innings while striking out five.

Yamamoto’s command was sharp throughout. He retired the side in order in the third inning and worked around baserunners in the first, fourth and sixth. In the bottom of the sixth, the Brewers put two on with singles by William Contreras and Bauers, but Vaughn grounded into a double play to end the inning.

The Dodgers bullpen closed the door. Tanner Scott worked a perfect eighth inning, striking out two. Will Klein pitched a 1-2-3 ninth, also striking out two.

Offensively, Tucker finished 2 for 5 with two RBI and a double and a triple. Pages went 1 for 4 with the home run and two RBI. Betts had one hit and scored a run, and Rushing had one hit. For the Brewers, Vaughn went 1 for 4, and Mitchell had one hit. Frelick drove in the only Brewers run but went 0 for 3.

The game included several defensive highlights. In the bottom of the first, Brice Turang grounded into a double play turned by Betts and Freeman. In the third, Pages threw out Turang at second from center field on a sharp line drive. Betts also turned a double play in the sixth.
