First Inning


The game began with the Brew Crew taking an early lead. The first inning saw them score 1 run on 2 hits, setting the tone for what would be a dominant performance. The Bucs struggled to find their rhythm, unable to register any hits or runs.


Middle Innings


As the game progressed into the third and fourth innings, Milwaukee continued their offensive push. They added another run in the third and two more in the fourth inning. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh's lineup was stifled by effective pitching from Milwaukee's starters, managing only one hit through these innings.


Sixth Inning Surge


The sixth inning proved pivotal as it witnessed an explosive display from Milwaukee's bats. They scored six runs on four hits and capitalized on one error by Pittsburgh’s defense. This surge effectively put any hopes of a comeback out of reach for Pittsburgh.


Final Innings


Innings seven through nine saw little change in fortune for either team offensively; however, Milwaukee managed to add two more runs in both eighth and ninth innings due to consistent hitting prowess and another defensive error by Pittsburgh.


Despite efforts from players like Bryan Reynolds who maintained his batting average at .333 over recent games, it was not enough against such formidable opposition. On defense, Isiah Kiner-Falefa showed reliability with no errors recorded during his time on fielding duties.
