The Brewers chipped away again in the 4th inning with a sac fly by Gary Sánchez, bringing William Contreras home. But that was all they could muster. Our lead held strong at 5-2.Strong Defensive Performance
From the 5th inning onward, our defense tightened up. Key plays from Nick Gordon and some solid relief pitching from Anthony Bender and Huascar Brazoban ensured the Brewers couldn’t close the gap.
Insurance from Josh Bell
Just when the Brewers thought they might mount a comeback, Josh Bell hammered a solo homer in the top of the 9th, pushing our final score to 6-2. That’s how you put the game out of reach!
Closing Time for Scott
With our lead secure, Tanner Scott came in to close. Though Contreras got a single and Haase drew a walk, Scott struck out the final two batters. Game over, Marlins win!
