The game was marked by significant moments from both teams.

This offensive surge highlighted their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities despite leaving seven runners on base throughout the game. Key performances included Garrett Mitchell and Willy Adames who both boasted impressive batting averages of .500 and .600 respectively in this contest.


On the pitching side, Milwaukee's bullpen faced challenges as evidenced by an earned run average (ERA) of 6.75 over nine and one-third innings pitched collectively by relievers. Joel Payamps suffered the loss for the Brewers after allowing crucial runs that contributed to Colorado's victory.


The Rockies capitalized on their opportunities as well, particularly during the second inning where they scored two runs off two hits and again in the fifth inning with four hits leading to another two runs. Their persistence paid off in extra innings when they secured one additional run that would ultimately decide the game.
