Ninth-Inning Tension Resolved
Trevor Megill struck out Jonny DeLuca with runners on second and third to end the game. The ninth-inning escape followed a replay review that overturned an apparent double play. The review showed Cooper Pratt's right foot off the bag on a throw from Brice Turang after Liam Hicks hit into the play.
Early Rally Sets the Tone
Christian Yelich delivered an RBI triple that started a two-run first inning and gave the Brewers the lead they never lost. Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run over five innings to earn the win. Jackson Chourio and William Contreras each recorded two hits, while Contreras threw out two potential base stealers.
