Trayce Thompson, Yasmani Grandal and Corey Seager homered off Brewers starter Zach Davies, who allowed six earned runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings for his first loss since April 29. The six earned runs matched Davies' total from his previous five June starts, in which he'd surrendered only two home runs.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
All-Star Seager: The Dodgers are pushing to get National League Rookie of the Year candidate Seager in the All-Star Game, and he again did his part with his 17th home run, a single, an intentional walk and a 13-game hitting streak. Seager is third in the NL All-Star voting at shortstop behind the Cubs' Addison Russell and the Rockies' Trevor Story.

Hill yeah: Third baseman Aaron Hill made Maeda pay for a momentary bout of wildness in the first inning. After a Scooter Gennett single with one out, Maeda hit Ryan Braun in the backside with a pitch and walked Chris Carter to load the bases for Hill, who lifted a first-pitch breaking ball into center field for a sacrifice fly and a 1-0 Brewers lead. It capped a second consecutive productive month for the veteran, who slashed .169/.208/.246 in April, but entered Thursday with a .323/.411/.479 slash line in May and June.
SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS
Thursday's outing snapped a long streak of effective starts for Davies. From May 4 through Wednesday -- covering Davies' last 10 starts -- he was 5-0 with a 2.464 ERA, tied for 10th best in the NL in that period behind some big names: Madison Bumgarner, Jose Fernandez, Kershaw, Johnny Cueto, Julio Teheran, Jon Lester, Kyle Hendricks, Noah Syndergaard and Zack Greinke.
WHAT'S NEXT
Dodgers: Kershaw won't be starting the homestand opener against Colorado as originally planned because he's on the DL. Bud Norris probably will, as he was acquired from the Braves on Thursday. But with the state of emergency the Dodgers' starting rotation is in, nothing is definite. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. PT at Dodger Stadium.
Brewers: Matt Garza makes his fourth start of the season for the Brewers at 7:15 p.m. CT on Friday, when they travel to St. Louis to kick off a six-game road trip. The Cardinals have won 25 of the past 38 games between the NL Central opponents, dating back to 2014.
