**Brewers Sweep Dodgers Ahead of All-Star Break**
The Milwaukee Brewers continued their impressive performance in the lead-up to the MLB All-Star break, securing a thrilling extra-innings victory on Wednesday that completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Following a day off on Thursday, the Brewers find themselves two games behind the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs in the loss column.
In a surprising move during Wednesday’s game, the Dodgers announced a trade that sent outfielder Steward Berroa to Milwaukee in exchange for cash considerations. This trade came after Berroa was designated for assignment, making his departure from the Dodgers seem inevitable. The 26-year-old outfielder made his major league debut with the Toronto Blue Jays last season before joining the Dodgers in May.
During his time with the Dodgers, Berroa did not transition from the minor leagues to the major league roster. He played 27 games for the Oklahoma City Comets, the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate, where he recorded 11 RBIs and one home run. Additionally, he appeared in 25 games for the Buffalo Bisons, the Blue Jays’ Triple-A team, finishing his season with a .189 batting average.
In a corresponding move, the Brewers designated right-handed relief pitcher Elvin Rodríguez for assignment. On the mound for the Dodgers, Tyler Glasnow made his first appearance since April 27, striking out five batters over five innings. Unfortunately for the Dodgers, this loss marked their sixth consecutive defeat.
As the Brewers look to build on their momentum, fans are eager to see how the new addition of Berroa will impact the team’s performance as they approach the All-Star break.
