Brewers pitchers held L.A. to a .163 batting average and four runs in Milwaukee. Then in the series opener Friday in Dodger Stadium, they won 2-0, getting a gem from a low-pay pitcher, Quinn Priester, who had 10 strikeouts and zero walks over his six innings. The Brewers are Priester’s third franchise in four years. His salary: $760,000.

The only hit the 24-year-old Priester allowed was a harmless, one-out single by Michael Toglia to right field in the fifth inning. Priester (6-2, 3.35 ERA) walked only two. He racked up 20 whiffs on 44 Rockies swings. Priester became the first Brewers pitcher to post double-digit strikeouts in a game this season.
