Tyler Glasnow returned to the starting rotation, but the Los Angeles Dodgers didn't return to the win column.
After staging a ninth-inning comeback Wednesday, the Milwaukee Brewers (53-40) swept the defending World Series champions with a 10th-inning walk-off win.
Brewers center fielder Jackson Chourio did the honors. The 21-year-old drove home automatic runner Sal Frelick with a zipping single to left field, notching his first-ever walk-off hit.
The Dodgers (56-38) have now lost six games in a row.

Milwaukee's come-from-behind victory spoiled a successful first outing back on the mound for Glasnow.
The 31-year-old righty had been on the IL since April 28 due to right shoulder inflammation that ended his fifth start of the year prematurely. When his recovery timeline was pushed back, he was moved to the 60-day IL.
Luckily for the Dodgers, Glasnow didn't face any setbacks in his third minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City this past Thursday. So Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts gave him the nod for Wednesday's series finale versus the Brewers.
The 2024 All-Star didn't give up an earned run in the five innings he pitched. That said, he wasn't perfect. Glasnow issued three walks, one of which indirectly led to a run in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Glasnow gave Jake Bauers a free pass to first and then balked, allowing the Milwaukee first baseman to advance to second.
Bauers stole third and, because of a throwing error from Dodgers All-Star catcher Will Smith, was able to race home for the Brewers' first run of the game.
That tied things up.
In the top half of the inning, a controversial checked swing paved the way for the Dodgers to get their first run aboard. Third-base umpire John Libka said Los Angeles center fielder James Outman didn't go, and, so, instead of striking out, he ended up walking to load the bases with two outs. Then Brewers starter José Quintana walked Shohei Ohtani in four pitches, surrendering a Dodgers run.
That was the only run Quintana conceded in his six innings, however, as he proceeded to get out of the frame by inducing a flyout from shortstop Mookie Betts.
The Dodgers plated a go-ahead run in the seventh inning. Third baseman Miguel Rojas reached first on an infield single. Pinch hitter Teoscar Hernández drew a walk. Hyeseong Kim pinch ran for him and was part of a double steal that saw Rojas swipe third.
After another Ohtani walk to load the bases again, Betts escorted Rojas home with a sac fly to make it a 2-1 game.
The Brewers got some more magic from recent call-up Andrew Vaughn in the ninth inning. The first baseman, whom Milwaukee acquired from the White Sox in the Aaron Civale trade on June 13, pinch hit for Bauers with one out and two men on. Despite a broken bat, he dropped a single to center, bringing home the game-tying run.
Vaughn has now recorded at least one RBI in each of his first three games with the Brewers.
Trevor Megill struck out the side in the top of the 10th, and Chourio played hero in the bottom half of the inning.
