LOS ANGELES — Sophie Tweed-Simmons, daughter of KISS band member Gene Simmons, sang the national anthem. But it was Milwaukee Brewers’ bats that did the talking as they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-1, on Saturday.
Brewers rookie Taylor Jungmann (4-1) tossed a three-hitter, striking out seven and walking two on 100 pitches to help the Brewers improve to 5-2 in his starts.

Teammate Carlos Gomez drove in five runs, going 2 for 3 with a walk and a strikeout while tying his career high for RBIs, his second five-RBI game in a week.
Brandon Beachy (0-1) gave up three runs and five hits in four innings, struck out two and walked three. The right-hander was making his first start in nearly two years after coming back from two Tommy John surgeries.
For the second straight game, the Dodgers were held to two hits through six innings. Their lone run came on pinch-hitter Kike Hernandez’s sacrifice fly in the eighth.
The Brewers can clinch the series and return to .500 on the road with a win Sunday in their last game before the All-Star break.
