Logan Henderson was the story on Sunday, August 16, 2026, as the Milwaukee Brewers knocked off the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 at Dodger Stadium. Henderson worked seven innings, allowing just one earned run on three hits while striking out six, earning the win against Tarik Skubal. Jake Bauers drove the offense with a 4-for-4 performance and two RBI, and Jackson Chourio added three hits as Milwaukee posted a four-run victory in nine innings — though Milwaukee did additional damage against the Dodgers' bullpen after Skubal's exit, with three earned runs coming off Los Angeles relievers.

Logan Henderson Controls the Dodgers for Seven Innings

Henderson was sharp from the start. Over seven innings he held the Dodgers to a single earned run, scattered three hits, issued just one walk, and punched out six. That kind of efficiency gave the Brewers bullpen a genuine breather and set the tone for everything that followed. It was the kind of outing a rotation needs from a young arm — go deep, limit damage, and keep the offense in the driver's seat.

Tarik Skubal absorbed the loss for Los Angeles despite a competitive start. He went six innings, striking out seven, but he allowed seven hits and surrendered runs enough to leave Los Angeles trailing. Skubal gave up just one earned run himself — Milwaukee's offense did most of its damage against the Dodger bullpen after his exit, a bullpen performance that gave Milwaukee an opening. Andy Pages and Max Muncy each homered for Los Angeles — solo shots that accounted for both Dodger runs — but Milwaukee's lineup made sure those weren't enough.

Jake Bauers and Jackson Chourio Pace Milwaukee's Offense

Bauers was the offensive engine. Going 4-for-4 with two RBI, he put together the kind of performance that holds up in any context. Andrew Vaughn contributed as well, going 2-for-4 with an RBI to give Milwaukee's lineup real teeth on the afternoon.

Chourio was equally difficult to retire, going 3-for-5. His three-hit day kept Milwaukee's offense moving and gave the Brewers consistent production throughout the lineup. When Chourio and Bauers are both making contact like that, Milwaukee's offense becomes a multi-contributor threat rather than a one-punch attack.

Brewers Bullpen Closes It Out

After Henderson's seven innings, the bullpen took over to close it out. Chad Patrick, Aaron Ashby, and DL Hall finished the job. Hall allowed one earned run in the ninth, though Milwaukee's four-run cushion proved more than enough to hold the lead. Milwaukee's 6-2 advantage held, and the Brewers walked away with a clean road win.

The Dodgers turned to Edgardo Henriquez, Alex Vesia, Kyle Hurt, and Jack Dreyer after Skubal's exit, and that quartet allowed three earned runs combined — a significant bullpen breakdown that explains how Milwaukee's run total climbed well beyond what Skubal surrendered on his own.
