Sixth Inning

Milwaukee's offense exploded again in the sixth inning with four more runs from just one hit and another error by Chicago’s defense. This extended their lead significantly and put pressure on Chicago’s bullpen which struggled throughout this period.

Seventh Inning Onward

Despite efforts from players like Nico Hoerner who had an impressive .750 average in previous games, highlighted by his home run contribution during this match-up; it wasn't enough for North Side as they only managed one additional run over these innings while leaving eight runners stranded overall.
