Brewers continue win streak at Dodgers' expense
The Brewers won even as All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta (12-4) tied a season high by allowing four runs in five innings. Trevor Megill pitched the ninth inning for his 23rd save as Milwaukee improved to 5-0 against Los Angeles with the finale of the season series Sunday.
Neither team has swept the other in a season series since the Brewers moved to the National League in 1998.
Shohei Ohtani hit one of three home runs for the Dodgers, who have lost nine of their last 11 games. With a struggling Mookie Betts getting the night off for Los Angeles, Will Smith had two hits out of the No. 2 spot of the lineup.
The Brewers took an early lead with a four-run third inning against Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan (1-1). Ortiz opened the scoring with an RBI single, Contreras delivered his two-run double and Andrew Vaughn had a sacrifice fly for a run.
The Dodgers answered with their own four-run third as Ohtani hit a two-run home run, his 33rd, before Teoscar Hernandez had an RBI double and Freddie Freeman scored on a Peralta wild pitch.
Milwaukee moved back in front when Collins led off the fourth inning with a homer to right, his sixth. The Brewers made it 6-4 in the sixth inning on a Caleb Durbin double that scored Collins, who had walked and stole second base.
Ohtani got the Dodgers within a run on an RBI single in the sixth, but the Brewers answered in the seventh with a Vaughn on a single for 7-5 lead. Ortiz's home run in the eighth was his seventh.
Tommy Edman and Miguel Rojas hit home runs in the eighth to pull Los Angeles within 8-7. Edman ended an 0-for-29 downturn with a sixth-inning single.
Milwaukee's Christian Yelich extended his on-base streak to 26 games with a second-inning single, and Jackson Chourio extended his hitting streak to 13 games.

Report: Dolphins, Minkah Fitzpatrick agree to reworked deal
July 27 - The Miami Dolphins and All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick agreed to a reworked contract, ESPN reported on Sunday. Fitzpatrick will receive a $16.435 million signing bonus and Miami will save $11 million against the 2025 salary cap, per the report. The Dolphins acquired Fitzpatrick from Pittsburgh last month in a trade that sent cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Steelers. Fitzpatrick signed a four-year, $73.6 million extension with the Steelers in 2022 and hopes to eventually sign a long-term deal with Miami, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus. "We are comfortable with this commitment to Minkah as we continue to work with the Dolphins on a multiyear extension," Rosenhaus told ESPN on Sunday. Fitzpatrick, 28, is a five-time Pro Bowl and three-time All-Pro selection who launched his career in Miami as a first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft. Fitzpatrick recorded 96 tackles and one interception in 17 starts last season. He has 20 picks, 54 passes defensed and 608 tackles in 106 career games (101 starts) with the Dolphins (2018-19) and Steelers. --Field Level Media
