MILWAUKEE -- Yasmani Grandal, who hadnt hit a home run on the road this season, was just trying to get on base after working a 3-0 count with two outs in the fourth inning.Grandal did more than that, hitting a solo home run over the bullpen in left field, one of three Los Angeles Dodgers to homer off Milwaukee Brewers starter Zach Davies in an 8-1 victory Thursday.Overall, he didnt have his best outing today, Grandal said of Davies. Hes a really good pitcher. We were just able to get a lot of base hits, a couple of home runs and get him out of the game quick.Trayce Thompson and Corey Seager also hit home runs for the Dodgers.It was nice to get some runs, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.Kenta Maeda (7-5) held the Brewers to one run over six innings as the Dodgers won the season series from the Brewers, five games to two.The strong start by Maeda was needed by the Dodgers, who announced before the game that they were placing ace Clayton Kershaw on the 15-day disabled list with a back injury. An MRI revealed a mild disk herniation that will not require surgery, the team announced after the game. A timetable for Kershaws return hasnt been determined.Los Angeles acquired veteran pitcher Bud Norris from the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. Norris will start in place of Kershaw on Friday.When you start losing starters, it gets tough on your staff and your team, but Kenta took the ball today and gave us six strong innings, Roberts said.Maeda gave up three hits, struck out six and walked two. He allowed one run in 6 1/3 innings against the Brewers in Los Angeles on June 19.My team really helped me out today, scoring early runs, Maeda said through an interpreter.Thompson put the Dodgers in front in the second with a two-run homer into the second deck in left field off Davies (5-4). Grandal extended the Dodgers lead to 3-1 in the fourth. Seagers shot to straightaway center in the fifth accounted for two of the Dodgers three runs in the inning, pushing the lead to 6-1.Los Angeles added two runs in the sixth, including one on a run-scoring double by Adrian Gonzalez.Davies, who had been 5-0 with a 2.64 ERA over his last 10 starts, gave up a season-high six earned runs in 4 1/3 innings. He surrendered eight hits, walked two and struck out three. The three home runs were the most allowed by Davies in 20 career starts.HITTING STREAKSDodgers: Seager extended his hitting streak to 13 games, a career high for the second-year player, with a first-inning single.Brewers: Ryan Brauns third-inning single extended his hitting streak to 11 games.DOUBLE ERRORMaeda attempted to pick off Jonathan Villar in the fifth but his throw sailed past Gonzalez at first base. Justin Turner retrieved the ball but his throwing error allowed Villar to reach third. Maeda and Turner both were charged with errors but the Brewers failed to score in the inning.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: CF Joc Pederson was out of the lineup for the second consecutive day after suffering a bruised AC joint when he crashed into the outfield wall while making a spectacular catch in the eighth inning of Tuesdays game. I think well make a decision with what we do with Joc, as far as the roster, in the next day or two, Roberts said.Brewers: RHP Taylor Jungmann, who began the season in the starting rotation before being demoted to Triple-A Colorado Springs after posting a 0-4 record and an ERA of 9.15 in five starts, has been reassigned to Double-A Biloxi after a period of mental rest. Jungmann also struggled at Colorado Springs, going 1/3 with a 9.87 ERA in eight starts. He was scheduled to start for Biloxi on Thursday at Birmingham.UP NEXTDodgers: Los Angeles begins a season-high, 10-game homestand on Friday against Colorado. Kershaw had been scheduled to start. The newly acquired Norris, who last pitched on Sunday, gets the start in Kershaws place.Brewers: Matt Garza (1-0, 2.81), who recorded his first win of the season on Saturday, will take the mound as Milwaukee opens a three-game series at St. Louis on Friday. Garza is 4-4 with a 4.07 ERA in 12 career starts against the Cardinals. Austin Bryant Youth Jersey .

Richmond great Kevin Bartlett believes Travis Cloke could be the missing piece of the puzzle at Tigerland and coach Damien Hardwick admits hes a fan.Out-of-favour power forward Cloke has been linked to a move away from Collingwood at seasons end with the Western Bulldogs and the Tigers mooted as possible destinations.But Hardwick played a straight bat to speculation Cloke is set to take the short walk over Olympic Boulevard to join the Tigers at Punt Road Oval to begin a new chapter in his faltering 245-game career.(Its) a list management decision that we dont comment on. Its easy to throw names around at this stage of the year, it always happens, Hardwick told reporters on Thursday.(But) hes hurt us a number of times over the course of his career, hasnt he?Funnily enough he was probably Alex (Rances) biggest nemesis there for a while.Alex has managed to move above him over the last couple of years, but hes a great player theres no doubt about that.But from our point of view wee keep our cards pretty close to our chest.ddddddddddddloke, who is contracted for next year, has managed just 12 senior games this season and has kicked 15 goals in a disappointing campaign.He has been dropped to the VFL three times by coach Nathan Buckley, with Darcy Moore, Mason Cox and Jesse White all preferred ahead of him.Bartlett is adamant Cloke, whose father David played 219 games for Richmond, could help the Tigers bounce back into the finals after a year to forget.I believe Cloke needs a new home and environment and a lot of love for he seems a confused footballer to me, Bartlett said on SEN.And surely he would be comfortable going to a club that his father once captained.The Tigers missed out on Cloke 11 years ago. Its better late than never for he just might be the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle that sees the Tigers winning a final. ' ' '
