Tarik Skubal was strong in his third start for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. But it wasn't enough for a win in the final game of a four-game series against the NL-best Milwaukee Brewers.
Brewers starter Logan Henderson outdueled Skubal with seven one-run innings as Dodgers bats went quiet for the second straight game. The result was a 6-2 Brewers win to secure a 3-1 series victory on the road in the matchup of NL contenders.
Skubal, making his third start since joining the Dodgers from the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline, countered with two runs allowed in six innings. He struck out the side in his final frame and left the top of the sixth still eligible to qualify for the win, trailing 2-1
But Dodgers bats didn't muster a challenge in the bottom of the frame or for the rest of the game, and Skubal was credited with his second loss as a starter for the Dodgers.
And once Skubal left the game, Brewers bats went to work on the Dodgers' bullpen, scoring two runs in the seventh and two more in the ninth to blow open the once-tight matchup.
