Dodgers sweep Brewers, stay hot with 11th straight victory
LOS ANGELES -- Austin Barnes hit a solo shot in the eighth inning, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers win their 11th in a row with a 1-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night.
The NL West-leading Dodgers swept the NL Central leaders, outscoring them 14-3 in three games. The Dodgers had their 12th shutout of the season.
"It feels good to help the team win and scratch a run across for them and the pitchers did the rest," said Barnes, the backup catcher who plays sparingly.
Lance Lynn dueled 2021 Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes, who retired 10 in a row, including six on strikeouts, although neither figured in the decision.
