Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen struck out pinch-hitter Travis Shaw with a runner on second to end the top of the ninth inning and give Los Angeles a chance for a walkoff victory.
Manny Pina reached on a one-out walk, and pinch-runner Hernan Perez moved to second on Orlando Arcia’s soft grounder to third, putting the go-ahead run in scoring position. Shaw came on to pinch-hit for Josh Hader but struck out on a 1-2 pitch.
The Brewers now need to get the game to extra innings, and Corey Knebel has come on to pitch.
