Sixth Inning

A pivotal moment came in the sixth inning when Milwaukee's offense ignited. Brice Turang contributed significantly by driving in one of two runs scored during this period. His efforts were part of a four-hit rally that widened their lead and demonstrated Turang's ability to perform under pressure.
