Throughout the game, the Cardinals struggled to find their rhythm at American Family Field. The team managed to accumulate only five hits and scored two runs over nine innings. Despite their efforts, they committed one error which contributed to their challenges on the field. The Cardinals' scoring was limited to single runs in both the seventh and ninth innings, showcasing moments of potential that ultimately could not overturn their deficit.


On an individual level, St. Louis's performance at bat was highlighted by a home run that contributed significantly to their total run tally for the game. However, they found it difficult to capitalize on scoring opportunities overall; despite having runners in scoring position three times throughout the match, they failed to convert any of these chances into additional runs.

The pitching staff for St. Louis faced its own set of challenges against a strong Brewers lineup. The bullpen allowed six runs over just 3.1 innings pitched—a statistic that underscored some of the difficulties encountered by Cardinals pitchers during this matchup.


Conversely, Milwaukee showcased robust offensive capabilities throughout the game by securing twelve hits and capitalizing on every opportunity presented by St. Louis's pitching struggles—evidenced by scoring five runs in just one inning alone.
