A Tough Outing at Home
The anticipation was high as the Milwaukee Brewers took on the Colorado Rockies at home, but unfortunately, the game did not go as planned for our Brew Crew. Despite getting on the board first, it was a game of missed opportunities and a few costly hits.A Strong Start
The first inning started on a positive note. After Jackson Chourio grounded out, William Contreras singled to center. Following a ground-out by Willy Adames, Contreras advanced to second base. Gary Sánchez reached on a throwing error, advancing Contreras to third. Rhys Hoskins then smacked a single to left, scoring Contreras and putting the Brewers up 1-0. Way to seize the moment!
Rockies Answer Back
The joy was short-lived, as Hunter Goodman hit a solo homer to right center in the top of the 3rd inning, tying the game at 1-1. Our pitchers faced some struggles but managed to prevent further scoring that inning.A Game-Changing Homer
In the 5th inning, things took a turn for the worse. After knocking out Peralta, the Rockies capitalized on Milner's relief. Sam Hilliard hit a three-run homer, pushing the Rockies ahead 4-1. That one stung.
Quiet Bats
The Brewers' offense struggled to get anything going after the first inning. By the time we reached the later innings, the Rockies' bullpen shut us down effectively. Sal Frelick and Brice Turang came in to pinch-hit but couldn’t spark a late rally.Final Score: 4-1 Rockies
The game ended with the Brewers unable to mount a comeback. Even when Contreras and Adames' bats were needed most, they were retired in their final attempts. It was a tough night at the plate for many, including Gary Sánchez, who flied out to center for the game's final out.While it wasn't the outcome we hoped for, there's always the next game! Let's keep supporting our Brew Crew and hope for a strong bounce-back. Go, Brewers!
