First Inning


The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses. The Pirates took an early lead with a run scored on two hits. Meanwhile, Milwaukee's offense was held back by Pittsburgh's pitching, managing only one hit and no runs in response.


Fourth Inning


A turning point for the Brew Crew came during the fourth inning when they managed to score two runs on three hits. Christian Yelich played a crucial role here with his impressive batting performance from previous games carrying over into this one as he contributed significantly to this scoring burst.


Fifth Inning


Continuing their momentum from the fourth inning, Milwaukee added another pair of runs in the fifth inning through strategic hitting and capitalizing on opportunities presented by Pittsburgh's defense. This brought them level with their opponents and set up an exciting middle part of the game.


Sixth Inning Onwards


Despite these efforts, Pittsburgh responded strongly in subsequent innings by adding more runs gradually through consistent hitting across multiple innings including key contributions from their lineup that kept pressure on Milwaukee’s pitchers throughout.


In terms of individual performances for Milwaukee: William Contreras showed consistency with his .500 average across four at-bats; Christian Yelich maintained high standards contributing significantly during critical moments; while pitcher Aaron Ashby demonstrated control despite facing challenges against an aggressive Pirate lineup.
