The Brewers' offense was highlighted by their ability to generate hits throughout the game, totaling nine. They managed to score runs in three separate innings, including a crucial two-run burst in both the fifth and ninth innings. Despite their efforts and having no errors on defense, it wasn't enough to secure victory. The team's hitting statistics were notable for their .250 batting average and .386 on-base percentage. They also showcased power with one home run contributing to their total of six runs.


On the pitching side, Milwaukee's bullpen faced challenges containing San Diego's hitters. Over four innings pitched by relievers, they allowed two earned runs with an ERA of 4.5 and struck out four batters but ultimately suffered from giving up crucial hits that led to scoring opportunities for the Padres.
