Second Inning


In the second inning, Milwaukee managed to get on the scoreboard first with a run driven by Christian Yelich's consistent batting performance. Yelich maintained an impressive .500 average during this game and was instrumental in setting up scoring opportunities for his team.


Sixth Inning


The sixth inning marked a turning point as San Francisco capitalized on errors from Milwaukee's bullpen. The Giants scored 3 runs off 3 hits and took advantage of two defensive errors by the Brew Crew to gain control of the game.


Seventh Inning


San Francisco extended their lead further in the seventh inning with another offensive surge that brought home four more runs. Despite Freddy Peralta's solid start for Milwaukee—boasting an ERA of 0.0 and WHIP of 1.2—the bullpen couldn't contain San Francisco’s bats.


Ninth Inning


By game's end, despite efforts from players like Caleb Durbin who had a notable .333 average and OPS of 1.167, Milwaukee fell short with only one run against San Francisco’s seven-run tally over nine innings.


This Brewers vs Giants recap highlights how crucial it is for teams to maintain both offensive pressure and defensive stability throughout all innings—a lesson learned hard by Milwaukee tonight.
