🤯 The Reigning NLCS Champs Just Got Humiliated in Milwaukee.

May 22 — Brewers 5, Dodgers 1.

By BaseChaser · May 23, 2026 · 3 min read

William Contreras stepped in with two runners on in the first inning and sent a first-pitch 410-foot blast over the left field wall. Three-run homer before Wrobleski even recorded an out. Game over before it started.

Contreras wasn't done. He singled and scored again in the 2nd. 3-for-4, 3 RBI on the night. A catcher completely taking over a game against the best team in the NL.

And while Contreras was feasting — Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Kyle Tucker went a combined 0-for-12. Shohei Ohtani's sac fly in the 7th was the only run LA could manage off 3 hits all night.

Logan Henderson? 5 innings. 7 strikeouts. 0 earned runs. The Brewers have now won 9 straight regular season games against the Dodgers. NINE. 🔥

3-for-4, 3 RBI

Where They Stand Now

The Bottom Line

This was the first meeting since the Dodgers swept the Brewers in last year's NL Championship Series. The NLCS champs came to Milwaukee and left with nothing.

Is Milwaukee the most underrated team in baseball right now? 👀
