<p><span>Jerry Hairston Jr.</span> hit a two-run single to break a scoreless tie in the bottom of the sixth inning, leading the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.brewcrewball.com/">Milwaukee Brewers</a> to a 3-1 win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.truebluela.com/">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> Wednesday night at Miller Park. <span>Nathan Eovaldi</span> allowed just those two runs in his six innings of work, suffering his first loss in his third major league start. <span>Zack Greinke</span> struck out eight in seven innings for his 12th win of the season.</p>
<p>It wasn't all bad for the Dodgers, as <span>Tony Gwynn Jr.</span> hit a solo home run off Greinke in the top of the seventh inning. It was Gwynn's first home run since July 17, 2010. It was Gwynn's first home run hit over a fence since April 23, 2010, a span of 575 plate appearances. Gwynn hit two inside-the-park home runs last season.</p>
<p>The Brewers scored their third run in bizarre fashion. After <span>Jonathan Lucroy</span> singled, reliever <span>Josh Lindblom</span> uncorked a wild pitch that <span>Dioner Navarro</span> didn't immediately locate, allowing Lucroy to easily advance to third base. Later in the same at-bat, Lindblom threw <i>another</i> wild pitch, and Lucroy scored.</p>
<p>Rookie Justin Sellers made two athletic double plays at shortstop to save Eovaldi in the early going. In the first inning, <a target="_blank" href="http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=18129359&topic_id=8878826&c_id=la">Sellers fielded a ground ball and started a pretty double play to rob Prince Fielder</a>. Then, in the third inning with the bases loaded, Sellers dove up the middle to catch a line drive by Ryan Braun, then flipped to <span>Aaron Miles</span> at second base to end the inning.</p>
<p>The Dodgers send ace <span>Clayton Kershaw</span> to the mound on Thursday morning trying to avoid a sweep. <span>Marco Estrada</span> pitches for Milwaukee.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.truebluela.com/">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> hope to end their two-game losing streak Wednesday night against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.brewcrewball.com/">Milwaukee Brewers</a> at Miller Park, but they will have to battle <span>Zack Greinke</span> to do so. Greinke has started 10 times at home this season, and Milwaukee has won all 10 games. But never fear, the Dodgers have <span>Aaron Miles</span> batting fifth in their starting lineup.</p>
<h3>Dodgers (55-66)</h3>
<p>Gwynn LF<br> Blake 3B<br> Ethier RF<br> Kemp CF<br> Miles 2B<br> Loney 1B<br> Navarro C<br> Sellers SS<br> Eovaldi P</p>
<p>Miles has one home run this season and his hitting .287/.306/.353. However, the Dodgers have struggled all season trying to find someone to hit behind <span>Matt Kemp</span>, as their number five hitters have hit a combined .264/.316/.374 with eight home runs. With Juan Rivera sitting out against Greinke, Miles will make his ninth start in the five hole.</p>
<h3>Brewers (72-51)</h3>
<p>Hart RF<br> Morgan CF<br> Braun LF<br> Fielder 1B<br> McGehee 3B<br> Betancourt SS<br> Hairston 2B<br> Lucroy C<br> Greinke P</p>
