The Milwaukee Brewers suspect the Los Angeles Dodgers utilized pitch-tipping signals during an 11-3 defeat at American Family Field on May 23, 2026.
Outfielder Andy Pages made noticeable arm and hand movements from second base before a decisive four-run fourth inning.

That inning included a three-run home run by Teoscar Hernández off Brewers pitcher Robert Gasser, erasing Milwaukee's initial 3-0 lead.
Manager and Players React
Brewers manager Pat Murphy acknowledged after the game that the Dodgers' actions at second base appeared evident.
"Teams are really good at it," Murphy said. "Everybody studies it.
We study it.
We don't come in here and tell you when we had pitches at second base, but it was pretty evident that maybe they did at second base."
Murphy emphasized that uncovering physical tells from pitchers and catchers has become standard practice across Major League Baseball.
"There's a huge emphasis on that," Murphy said. "Pitchers have to be able to not give away anything.
It's gotten to a science. Every team does it."
He explained that clubs deploy dedicated departments to scrutinize video for minor inconsistencies in wrist placement, glove closures, or catcher positioning.
Gasser noted he observed Pages shifting his hands and tapping his helmet but needed to review footage to determine if he was inadvertently exposing his grips.
"I did look back once and saw him moving his hands," Gasser said.
"It seemed like my hand was getting covered but I'll have to take a look at it."
