First Inning


The opening inning saw both teams testing each other's defenses without any runs on the board. The Brewers managed one hit but couldn't capitalize further. Meanwhile, Milwaukee's starting pitcher kept Atlanta's lineup in check with a solid performance that prevented any early scoring from their side.


Second Inning


The second inning was pivotal for Atlanta as they broke through with three runs on three hits. The Brew Crew responded with one run of their own thanks to Rhys Hoskins' solo home run, showcasing his power at bat and maintaining his impressive .333 average from previous games.


Third and Fourth Innings


Innings three and four were challenging for Milwaukee's pitching staff as they allowed two more runs in the fourth inning due to some timely hitting by Atlanta. Despite efforts from players like Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio who contributed defensively, it wasn't enough to stop the Braves’ momentum.


Fifth Through Seventh Innings


As both teams settled into a defensive groove during these middle innings, neither could add significantly to their tally until Atlanta managed another run in the seventh inning. Milwaukee’s bullpen showed resilience here; however, it was clear that offensive opportunities were slipping away despite consistent efforts from hitters like Eric Haase who maintained his .333 average.


Eighth Inning


A glimmer of hope appeared for Milwaukee when they added another run in this inning through strategic plays involving Sal Frelick and Jake Bauers contributing crucial hits. However, this late surge wasn’t sufficient against an already established lead by Atlanta.


Ninth Inning


The final inning saw no change in score as both teams held firm defensively. With no additional errors or significant plays altering outcomes hereafter; thus concluding what had been an uphill battle primarily dominated by early successes favoring visitors over hosts today at American Family Field.
