Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto couldn't make it out of the first inning as the team's midseason slump continued against Milwaukee.

Dodgers superstars like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Clayton Kershaw will all enjoy individual All-Star nods. The team, however, has suffered two brutal series sweeps after falling to the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday — the first time in franchise history that has happened.

Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto surrendered five runs in the first inning, struggling through his worst MLB game during a loss to the Brewers.

It was quite the first at-bat in Andrew Vaughn’s debut with the Milwaukee Brewers: a 3-run blast to lead the charge against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Brewers optioned Vaughn to Triple-A Nashville after the trade, then recalled him prior to Monday's series opener in Milwaukee. It was his first major league game since May 21. The home run came in his first at-bat.

It’s a compelling pitching matchup between Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Brewers veteran Freddy Peralta, but my Dodgers vs. Brewers predictions and MLB picks lean toward L.A.'s offense taking advantage of Peralta in the series opener.
