Brent Rooker also made his presence felt with an average of .333 across three at-bats. However, despite these efforts, no Athletics player was able to convert their hits into runs.

Pitching and Defense The pitching staff faced its own set of challenges against a relentless Milwaukee lineup. The bullpen ERA stood at 9.45 over 6.2 innings pitched with seven strikeouts but allowed seven runs (all earned) on eight hits. Overall pitching efforts resulted in an ERA of 7.00 across nine innings with nine strikeouts but ultimately conceded ten runs (seven earned) due to strategic hitting by Milwaukee combined with defensive errors.

These mistakes provided additional opportunities for Milwaukee batters and contributed significantly to some key scoring drives.
