Tony Gonsolin was dominant for most of his six-inning performance, but it wasn't enough to prevent the travel-weary Dodgers from losing to the Brewers.
to Milwaukee on Sunday, ahead of the team, because the right-hander looked well rested and sharp against the Brewers at American Family Field on Monday night.
“The hangover was Peralta tonight,” Roberts said of Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta, who held the Dodgers to one run and three hits in six innings. “I thought we had some momentum coming into this series … I don’t think the energy was lagging, but when you have a guy carving you up, it takes the wind out of your sails.”
“I’m telling you, Tony threw the crap out of the baseball — it was just one mistake,” Roberts said. “I thought all of his stuff was really good — velocity, the secondary pitches, how he sequenced.” Gonsolin retired 12 of the first 13 Brewers he faced, five by strikeout, and had yielded only one hit when William Contreras opened the fifth with a slow roller to the left of third baseman Michael Busch. Busch recovered from an initial bobble in time to retire the slow-footed catcher, but his throw sailed wide of first base for an error.
