By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 8/18/22

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers met for a Thursday matinee to conclude their four-game series, as the host "Brew Crew" looked to salvage a split in the set.

Prior to the contest, Spectrum SportsNet Dodgers reporter David Vassegh met with "Bernie," the Brewers mascot.

The manual reveal of "It's really not that hard" is referring to Vassegh's mishap on Wednesday when he suffered wrist fractures and cracked ribs while testing out "Bernie's Chalet." The slide is used by the Brewers' costumed character during home games to celebrate when a Milwaukee player hits a home run.

Despite their reporter's bad luck this week, the Dodgers have been dominant all year. They entered play on Thursday with an MLB-best 81-35 record.
