The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 on Sunday, Aug. 16, 2026, at Dodger Stadium, taking three of four games in the series and denying Los Angeles a series-finale win. Starter Logan Henderson allowed one run on three hits over seven innings, the longest outing of his two-year major league career, while Jake Bauers went 4-for-4 with two RBI, including a go-ahead single in the fifth and an insurance double in the seventh. The Dodgers had already dropped the first two games of the set, 5-4 on Aug. 13 and 4-1 on Aug. 15, before losing the finale as well. The series result padded Milwaukee's cushion in the race for the National League's best record, pushing the Brewers three games ahead of Los Angeles and securing the season tiebreaker between the two clubs. Community sentiment favored the Dodgers, with 64% of poll respondents (16 of 25 voters) predicting a finale win for Los Angeles, but the Brewers instead completed the series victory, making the majority community prediction incorrect.
