Rhys Hoskins also made an impact by maintaining a perfect fielding percentage and securing an RBI that kept Milwaukee competitive.


Christian Yelich's performance was another highlight for Milwaukee, as he managed to get on base with a .250 average during his four at-bats. However, despite these individual successes, the Brewers struggled collectively in converting opportunities into runs.

Rays Capitalize on Opportunities


The Rayhawks capitalized on crucial moments that ultimately led them to victory over their visitors from Milwaukee. Their offense came alive in pivotal innings where they scored one run each in third and fourth innings before adding two more later on.

Tampa Bay's pitching staff played a significant role by keeping opposing batters at bay when it mattered most; they allowed only eight hits across nine innings while striking out nine batters along way – effectively stifling any potential rallies mounted by visiting side.
