American Family Field is set to host a classic pitchers’ duel tonight as veteran Tyler Glasnow makes his return for the Dodgers, stepping in fresh off the injured list after shoulder inflammation. Across five brief 2025 outings, he boasts 23 strikeouts in 18⅔ innings and flashes elite swing-and-miss stuff.
On the other side, Jose Quintana has been Milwaukee’s steady veteran, logging a 6-3 record with a 3.44 ERA and 1.39 WHIP, and quietly demolishing lineups this season. With both hitters and pitchers hungry for a series swing, expect a tight contest shaped by elite pitching and spot-on execution.

Dodgers vs. Brewers Game 3 Pitcher & Hitter Matchups
Starting Pitchers
Tyler Glasnow (Dodgers)
After a lengthy IL stint with a shoulder issue, Glasnow is back in the Dodgers’ rotation and takes the mound. In his brief 2025 action, he’s gone 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts. Glasnow’s overpowering fastball and wipeout breaking ball make him a constant strikeout threat when healthy, and he’ll be looking to shake off rust while giving L.A.’s rotation a needed boost.
Jose Quintana (Brewers)
The veteran lefty has quietly turned in a solid season, carrying a 6-3 record, 3.44 ERA, and 1.39 WHIP across 65.1 innings. Quintana mixes command and soft contact, rarely overpowering hitters but consistently working deep into games. In his last outing, he allowed three runs over 5.1 innings against the Mets. His ability to handle right-handed-heavy lineups like the Dodgers makes him a reliable arm in this matchup.
Hot Hitters
Will Smith (Dodgers)
One of the hottest bats in baseball right now, Will Smith is hitting .474 with 3 homers over his last six games. Batting .332 on the season, his sharp eye and power stroke make him a serious problem for any pitcher, and he’ll be hunting mistakes from Quintana tonight.
Jackson Chourio (Brewers)
The Brewers’ young star is catching fire, as Jackson Chourio is riding a 7-game hit streak with two homers and a pair of multi-hit games in that span. Slashing .260 with 15 bombs, 55 RBIs, and 16 steals on the year, Chourio’s electric mix of raw power and speed makes him the kind of sparkplug who can wreck a pitcher’s night in a hurry.
