Brewers' Wade Miley walks leadoff batter, pulled vs. Dodgers

Wade Miley started Game 5 for the Milwaukee Brewers, gave up a five-pitch walk to Los Angeles Dodgers leadoff man Cody Bellinger and then was removed by manager Craig Counsell on Wednesday.

Right-hander Brandon Woodruff replaced Miley and is pitching for the Brewers.

Miley could very well turn around and start Game 6 on Friday but, for now, the onus is on Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to decide whether to ride out his righty-heavy starting lineup for a few innings or run the risk of emptying his bench too early.
