White Sox's Early Momentum


The game began on a promising note for the White Sox as they scored 2 runs in the first inning. Andrew Benintendi and Luis Robert were instrumental in this initial surge, each contributing significantly to their team's early advantage. Benintendi showcased his batting prowess with an impressive .333 average and an OPS of 1.833 from his previous performance, while Robert matched that average and OPS, demonstrating consistency at bat.


However, after this strong start, the South Siders struggled to maintain their momentum throughout the rest of the game. The team managed only four hits overall and failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities later in innings two through nine.

Brewers' Comeback


On the other side of the diamond, Milwaukee's pitching staff effectively stifled Chicago’s offense after that first inning burst. The Brewers' pitchers allowed only four hits across nine innings and kept pressure on by striking out nine batters from Chicago’s lineup.


Milwaukee turned up their offensive efforts starting in inning six when they scored four runs off four hits against Chicago’s bullpen. This rally was pivotal as it shifted momentum firmly towards Milwaukee for good measure; they added two more insurance runs during inning eight which sealed their victory over Chicago.
