The Braves' performance was highlighted by their strategic hitting and flawless fielding. The team accumulated eight hits throughout the game and capitalized on two errors made by the Brewers. Notably, the Braves' offense came alive in the fourth inning when they scored two runs, followed by another two runs each in both the seventh and eighth innings.

On the pitching side for Atlanta, Raisel Iglesias demonstrated exceptional skill from the bullpen with an ERA standing at zero across his appearance while maintaining a WHIP also at zero; striking out batters at a rate of 18 per nine innings pitched which contributed significantly to keeping Milwaukee's scoring opportunities limited.
The Brewers managed to put up some resistance early on by scoring all their runs in the first inning but struggled to maintain momentum against Atlanta's pitchers as evidenced by their inability to capitalize further despite having eight hits over nine innings.
