The initial innings saw both teams locked in a defensive stalemate with no runs scored until the fifth inning when momentum decidedly swung towards Milwaukee. The Brewers seized their moment in this pivotal inning, racking up five runs that would ultimately secure their victory. The Giants mounted a late-game rally, notching one run in the seventh and adding two more in the eighth inning; however, they couldn't bridge the gap created by Milwaukee's earlier surge.
