W: Kershaw (1-0) L: Woodruff (0-1) PoG: Kershaw (LAD) 8 IP, W, QS, 0 R, 3 H, 13 K, BB ToG: 2:55 Final Thoughts: Dodgers were too strong and healthy in this series against Brewers. Had Brandon Woodruff out of Bottom of 5th Inning, Brewers would have had the top of the order in Top of 6th Inning. But that didn't happen. Dodgers get 3 runs, in Bottom of 5th Inning. And that was all Clayton Kershaw needed, as he throw a 3-hit, 13K/BB gem in tonight's series clincher. For the Brewers, they were not the same team as the last couple of years. A struggling Christian Yelich and no Lorenzo Cain were the difference in 2020 COVID-19 Shortened Season of Milwaukee Brewers. Dodgers advance to NLDS, to play the Cardinals/Padres winner on Tuesday in Arlington, TX. This is Paul Shishkoff, Jr. This has been 'Live-Blogging Shish on Baseball'. Thanks for visiting this page.
