The Brewers showcased resilience and offensive firepower throughout the game. Despite trailing early on, they managed to rack up 12 hits and pushed across 8 runs without committing any errors. Their performance at bat was highlighted by an impressive .308 batting average and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .426 for the game. Notably, William Contreras stood out by hitting an astonishing .667 average along with scoring twice from his three at-bats.


On the pitching side, Eric Lauer started for Milwaukee but struggled to contain Colorado's hitters, ending up with an earned run average (ERA) of 11.25 over four innings pitched. The bullpen had its moments but ultimately couldn't stem Colorado's tide as evidenced by Javier Guerra's ERA skyrocketing to 40.5 after his appearance.


The Rockies capitalized on their opportunities throughout this high-scoring affair. They amassed a total of 18 hits leading to their twelve runs scored across various innings including a significant five-run burst in the fifth inning which proved pivotal in establishing their lead.


As fans look ahead, they can anticipate another encounter between these two teams at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in Scottsdale on March 28th at 3:00 PM EDT. This upcoming game promises another exciting chapter in this matchup and will be broadcasted on SportsNet RM for those unable to attend in person.
