Brewers beat Dodgers to keep rolling out West

The Brewers are back in a good place. By the time they take the field next, they could be in a better place. Freddy Peralta’s bend-but-don’t-break start and Eric Thames’ three-run home run sent the Brewers to their seventh win in 10 games, a 5-2 victory over the Dodgers on Monday night in the final contest before Tuesday’s 3 p.m. CT non-waiver Trade Deadline. As a result, Milwaukee is back within a game of the first-place Cubs in the National League Central.
