The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 3-1, on Friday night to even the series at one game apiece and improve to 74-49 on the year.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed one run over six innings with nine strikeouts in a dominant display. Offensively, Andy Pages and Tommy Edman hit home runs, while Mookie Betts had an RBI single.

In other news, the Dodgers recently made a change at the catcher position at the Triple-A level.

Chuckie Robinson, who has been with the organization since last May, was released by the Oklahoma City Comets. He was replaced by Chadwick Tromp, a former San Francisco Giants, Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles catcher.

Robinson appeared in eight games for the Dodgers at the big league level this season, going 2-for-26 (.087). Overall, across parts of four seasons at the big league level with the Dodgers, Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds, he's played in 60 games, hitting .124 with an OPS of .334.

As for Tromp, he's appeared in 21 MLB games this year with the Braves and Orioles, going 8-for-49 (.163).

Across parts of seven seasons at the MLB level, he's appeared in 88 games, hitting .208 with an OPS of .559.

As for news relating to the big league team, it was reported that manager Dave Roberts sent a message to his players amid their rough patch over the last few weeks.

Veteran Miguel Rojas provided a peek behind the curtain, discussing what Roberts' messaging was.

"He told us that he’s happy and proud and really fortunate that he had the opportunity to manage back-to-back championship teams," Rojas told USA TODAY Sports, “but he also said that he could care less about the last two years. He wants to win so bad. That’s the motivator he is. He’s still hungry to win this year, and wants everybody else to be hungry."

He added: “He told us that we have the opportunity to do something historic. So let’s take advantage of it."
