A Close Game with a Bitter End
Fellow Brewers fans, last night's game against the Diamondbacks was certainly a nail-biter, with our boys showing resilience and tenacity. Despite a strong opening, it heartbreakingly ended with a tight 3-2 loss. Let’s dive into the highlights, shall we?
️Early Advantage
We started on a positive note with Andrew Vaughn and Blake Perkins giving us an early lead in the second inning. Vaughn singled to center, quickly followed by a solid single from Perkins. Jake Bauers hit a crucial groundout that allowed Vaughn to score, putting us ahead 1-0. That early glimpse of brilliance had us all hopeful for a successful night.
Tough Middle Innings
The middle innings were a test of defense for both sides. While Caleb Durbin showed some spark with a ground rule double in the 6th inning, we couldn’t capitalize further on our opportunities. In contrast, the Diamondbacks, powered by Blaze Alexander's homer in the 6th, took a 2-1 lead. The tension was certainly building.
A Fighting Spirit Until the End
Despite Geraldo Perdomo’s home run in the 8th raising Arizona's lead to 3-1, William Contreras hit a stunning homer of his own in the bottom of the inning, narrowing the gap to 3-2. We had our hopes pinned on Christian Yelich, who also doubled in the 8th, but sadly we couldn't bring him home. Our plucky Andruw Monasterio made a valiant attempt in the 9th with a single, but the evening closed with an oh-so-close 3-2 defeat.
Though it wasn't the result we wanted, our Brewers displayed grit and grace. Heads held high, we look forward to the next chance to rally behind our team. On to the next one! Let’s go Brewers!
