The game started slowly for both teams, with no runs scored in the first two innings. However, the third inning saw a significant shift as Milwaukee's bats came alive. The Brewers managed to score five runs on five hits in this inning alone, putting them firmly in control of the game early on.


Boston struggled offensively throughout most of the game. The team did not register any hits until the seventh inning when they finally broke through with three hits and two runs. Despite this effort, it was not enough to overcome Milwaukee's lead.


Milwaukee added another run in the eighth inning, bringing their total to six runs off eleven hits for the game. Boston responded with one more run in their final at-bat during the ninth inning but ultimately fell short.


Nick Pivetta took the loss for Boston after allowing five earned runs over three and one-third innings pitched. His performance included seven hits and three walks while striking out three batters. Colin Rea earned his fourth win of the season for Milwaukee by pitching six scoreless innings before handing over duties to Trevor Megill who secured his eighth save despite allowing one run late in relief.


Offensively speaking about individual performances from both sides: Rafael Devers had an RBI double during Boston’s seventh-inning rally which accounted for half their scoring output; meanwhile Christian Yelich contributed significantly towards Brewer’s victory by driving home two crucial RBIs during that pivotal third-inning surge where they amassed majority (five) outta six total scores across entire match duration itself!


Defensively speaking now: Both teams played clean games without committing any errors whatsoever – showcasing solid fielding skills under pressure situations alike! For instance: Red Sox recorded eight assists along with twenty-seven putouts whereas Brewers matched up similarly too albeit slightly lesser number-wise only comparatively though still impressive nonetheless overall indeed!


Looking ahead now onto next scheduled matchup between these very same opponents yet again tomorrow afternoon right here back home turf itself i.e., Fenway Park starting promptly around approximately half-past-five local time zone-wise respectively! Fans can catch live action broadcasted exclusively via BSWI network channel accordingly so make sure tune-in accordingly folks!!
