First Inning
The Milwaukee Brewers, with a record of 81-49, faced off against the San Francisco Giants, who stood at 62-68. The game took place under the lights at American Family Field. The Brew Crew started strong defensively, holding the G-Men scoreless through three innings. However, their offense struggled to find momentum early on.
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.

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.
