Los Angeles Dodgers at Milwaukee Brewers: Final Score & Recap

The Los Angeles Dodgers handed the Milwaukee Brewers a lopsided 11-3 defeat at American Family Field on May 23, 2026, flipping what opened as a Milwaukee-favored contest into a runaway. The DiamondIQ model's estimate had Milwaukee entering with a 54 percent win probability, but that figure collapsed to zero by the final out as Los Angeles scattered 10 hits across a dominant performance on the road.

The decisive blow came in the fourth inning when Teoscar Hernández connected on a home run off Robert Gasser, a swing that generated the single largest win-probability shift of the game at plus 30.2 percent in the Dodgers' favor. That one sequence effectively broke open what had been a competitive early contest, given that Milwaukee had shown some life in the first inning when Sal Frelick's single off Roki Sasaki moved the needle 7.2 percent toward the home side. Los Angeles answered by systematically pulling away, adding three runs in the eighth on a Will Smith single off DL Hall that contributed another 10.0 percent swing, and then plating four more in the ninth to set the final margin. Andrew Vaughn's groundout in the seventh, which cost Milwaukee 8.7 percent in win probability against Kyle Hurt, illustrated how thoroughly the Brewers' comeback attempts stalled.

Hernández finished as the game's most impactful performer by a wide margin, posting a plus 35.2 percent WPA and a plus 4.2 RE24, numbers that reflect both his home run and continued production throughout the lineup. Freddie Freeman added a plus 13.0 percent WPA contribution, while the Los Angeles bullpen locked down the late innings with Grant Anderson leading Dodgers pitchers at plus 11.8 percent WPA, followed closely by Kyle Hurt at plus 9.7 percent and Alex Vesia at plus 7.9 percent.
