First Inning


The game began with the Twins taking an early lead. They managed to score two runs on three hits in the first inning, setting the tone for their offensive performance. The Brewers' starting pitcher struggled initially but managed to settle down after this rocky start.


Second Inning


In the second inning, Minnesota added another run on three more hits. This extended their lead and put additional pressure on Milwaukee's offense which was yet to find its rhythm. Despite having one hit in this inning, the Brew Crew couldn't capitalize and remained scoreless.

Middle Innings


As the game progressed into its middle innings, both teams experienced a lull in scoring. The third through fifth innings saw no additional runs from either side as pitchers from both teams tightened up their performances. Milwaukee's bullpen showed resilience by not allowing any further damage during these frames.


Late Innings


Innings six through nine saw limited action as well; however, it was notable that Milwaukee's bullpen continued its strong showing by keeping Minnesota from adding more runs despite allowing one hit each in both sixth and ninth innings. Unfortunately for fans of Brew Crew baseball, their hitters were unable to break through against Minnesota’s pitching staff throughout these late stages too – managing only five hits overall without converting them into scores.
