In the early innings, both teams struggled to find their rhythm. The first two innings saw no runs from either side. However, the Brewers broke through in the third inning with an impressive offensive display. They managed five hits and scored five runs, setting the tone for the rest of the game.


Milwaukee's hitting statistics were notable throughout. The team had a total of eleven hits and six extra-base hits, including one home run. Their batting average stood at .297 with an on-base percentage of .366 and slugging percentage of .486.


On defense, Milwaukee was flawless with zero errors and seven assists. Their pitching staff also performed admirably; Colin Rea earned his fourth win of the season while Trevor Megill secured his eighth save despite allowing three runs in total over nine innings pitched.


Boston's performance was less consistent but not without highlights. They managed only five hits throughout nine innings but rallied late in an attempt to close the gap against Milwaukee’s lead by scoring two runs in seventh inning followed by another run ninth inning before ultimately falling short.


Nick Pivetta took loss for Boston bringing his record down 2-3 this season despite strong efforts from bullpen which allowed just one additional run after disastrous third-inning collapse that proved too much overcome even valiant effort towards end game
