The Brewers entered Salt River Fields at Talking Stick hoping to add another win to their preseason tally but were met with resistance from a determined Rockies team.

This lone run was driven in by an RBI which stood as their only one throughout the contest.

They achieved an average (AVG) of .290 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .361 but struggled to capitalize with runners in scoring position, leaving eight men stranded on base (LOB). Their slugging percentage (SLG) settled at .323 for the game, indicating fewer extra-base hits with just one double contributing to their total bases (TB), which amounted to ten.
On defense, the Brewers were flawless in fielding with a perfect fielding percentage (FPCT) of 1.0 across all positions. They turned two double plays and provided fifteen assists without committing any errors throughout nine innings.
Pitching for Milwaukee showed mixed results; while their bullpen managed an earned run average (ERA) of 3.375 over nearly three innings pitched, it was not enough to stifle Colorado's hitters who boasted a batting average against (OBA) of .364 during this time frame. The starting pitcher endured more difficulty as evidenced by his ERA climbing to 6.75 over five-plus innings pitched.
The home team capitalized significantly in both the fourth and sixth innings where they scored two runs each time before adding another single run in both fifth and eighth innings respectively – showcasing consistent offensive pressure that ultimately secured their victory.
