From the outset, the Brewers displayed an aggressive offensive strategy that paid dividends throughout the game. Accumulating a total of 12 hits and capitalizing on every opportunity, Milwaukee's hitters were relentless in their pursuit of runs. The fifth inning proved pivotal for the Brewers as they scored five runs, effectively breaking away from any potential comeback by the Cardinals.


Key to Milwaukee's success was their exceptional hitting statistics which included a batting average of .353 and an on-base percentage of .436 for this game alone.

On the pitching side, Robert Gasser earned a well-deserved win with his stellar performance that limited St. Louis to just two runs over nine innings. The Brewers' pitchers combined for an ERA of 2.0 and a WHIP of 0.6667 during this contest, demonstrating tight control and effective strikeout capabilities against Cardinal hitters.


The Cardinals managed only five hits throughout all nine innings and struggled to convert these into scoring opportunities due in part to Milwaukee's solid defensive play which did not commit any errors during this matchup.
