Second to Fifth Innings


As the innings progressed through to the fifth, both teams struggled offensively. The Blue Birds managed only one hit in these innings while keeping their defense tight and preventing any runs from crossing home plate for Milwaukee. Toronto's starter Shane Bieber was particularly effective during this stretch, maintaining a low earned run average of 3.375 and allowing just five hits over his outing.


Sixth Inning


The sixth inning proved pivotal as it saw a surge from the Brew Crew who capitalized on their opportunities by scoring five runs off five hits against Toronto's bullpen. This offensive burst shifted momentum significantly in favor of Milwaukee and put pressure on Toronto to respond.


Seventh Inning


In response, the Jays found some rhythm in their batting lineup during their turn at bat in the seventh inning. Alejandro Kirk led this charge with his consistent performance at bat throughout recent games; he contributed one of two crucial hits that resulted in two runs for Toronto during this period.


Eighth and Ninth Innings


Despite efforts from players like Bo Bichette who maintained an impressive batting average of .500 across recent games, further attempts by Toronto to close down Milwaukee’s lead were thwarted by solid pitching from Milwaukee’s bullpen which held firm through these final innings.
