MILWAUKEE — Even when he struck out Andrew McCutchen, it didn’t work out well for Andrew Heaney.
McCutchen hit two home runs off the Dodgers left-hander Thursday afternoon then reached base on a third-strike passed ball, extending the fifth inning long enough for Hunter Renfroe to hit a two-run homer off Heaney. Those runs proved to be the difference as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Dodgers, 5-3.
The Dodgers split the four-game series in Milwaukee, giving them three losses in five games since their 12-game winning streak. After averaging 7.6 runs per game during the winning streak, the Dodgers have totaled just 13 in the five games since it ended.
