MILWAUKEE—Devin Williams retired Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman in order in the ninth inning to preserve the Milwaukee Brewers’ 5–4 victory over Los Angeles on Wednesday, August 14, snapping the Dodgers’ five-game winning streak.

Williams needed only seven pitches to set down those three former most valuable players and earn his second save in as many opportunities. Ohtani hit a fly ball to left field, Betts struck out, and Freeman grounded out to second base.
