MILWAUKEE – Enrique Hernández is the owner of Madison Bumgarner. He returned three times in a pennant. He dominated twice the day of opening.

He has no luck. But it was still a shock Friday night when he lined a 0-2 fastball against the intimidating Josh Hader for a three-point circuit giving the Dodgers a 5-3 win over the Brewers and extending their winning streak to six.

• Hader proves that he is human after all

In the major leagues, Hernandez had never dominated on a 0-2 field and Hader had never allowed one. The Dodgers saw Hader's last play in the playoffs, and saw how manager Craig Counsell uses this left-arm electric at all stages of the game. The Dodgers know that Hader has a threatening opponent weapon around which a game plan is drawn.

"You knew that with Hader having three days off, they were going to deploy him for several [innings] and you do not know when, "said Dave Roberts, the Dodgers' manager, who also knows that 34 pitches must make the difference with Hader for Saturday night and maybe Sunday.

When they arrived in the game, the current Dodgers were 2-29 against Hader in the regular season, and they did not score the last game of the season. So, what makes that Hader, well, Hader?

"Analytics?" Says Hernandez. "I do not know – extension, rotational speed, no matter how you want to call it." "Drop, angle, hopping." He gets there fast .He does a pretty good job of hiding it. "He has an unorthodox liquidation In a way, he's aggressive, his hair is flowing everywhere, and he always seems to have a faster tick than you think, to match the plane and keep the swing short. "

According to Statcast, the pitch at 95.5 mph had a rotational speed of 2327 rpm and a pitch of 3.04 feet and Hader had an extension of 7.1 feet. It came out at 106.1 mph and traveled about 399 feet with a launch angle of 20 degrees and a suspension time of 4.3 seconds.

Roberts seemed to think that the tone of the key was the one that preceded the homer, an inside plate referee, Brian O'Nora, called the second shot. Hernandez thought it was the first bullet. He described this with a blame after the match, but during the match he reacted by stepping back.

"In fact, that might have worked in our favor," Roberts said, "because he backed off and gave himself extra leeway to give the ball a new boost."

Hader said that he wanted the fastball to be in the hands of Hernandez, but the height was good. He was more angry to walk ONE J. Pollock to start the eighth scorer David Freese an exit later.

"That's why I'm late on these [previous] guys and walk them, "said Hader. "I did not prepare myself too well to perform. I made mistakes and I paid for it. That's how the game happens sometimes. "

It was the fifth round of the circuit for Hernandez, who was entered in the game in a double round in the seventh inning. He entered the game after struggling recently (0-in-8) but on fire against lefties (7-in-15). He has 14 points produced in 20 games.

If Hernandez represented the unexpected, there was also expected. The second batter of the Brewers game was Christian Yelich. By the time the third batter was registered, the Dodgers had only managed to score 2-0 on day 11 of championship leader Yelich. Ross Stripling.

The Dodgers reduced the deficit by half in the second run. Cody Bellinger led by the haste to beat a simple infield. Then, on a 3-2 pitch, Bellinger scored from the first goal on Alex VerdugoThe double of two outputs. Bellinger tied the score at 2-2 in the third inning with a sacrificial volley to a withdrawal.

Stripling was eliminated eight times and walked three times in 4 2/3 innings.

"MVP and 11 circuits for a reason," Stripling said of the Yelich circuit.

reliever Pedro Báez, who retired Yelich and Mike Moustakas with an eighth-ranked runner, was credited with the victory. Joe Kelly allowed Eric Thames to make a circuit in eighth position, and Kenley Jansen has earned his seventh stop in as many opportunities and his third in as many days.
