Tough Loss in a Rollercoaster Game
What a game, D-backs fans! We were all set for a glorious victory after an explosive 3rd inning, but the Brewers snatched it away in the end. The final score was 10-9, Milwaukee. Let's dive into the highs and lows.Marte's Magic and an 8-Run Inning
We got off to a great start with Ketel Marte hitting a solo homer in the 1st inning. The 3rd inning was a sight to behold! Geraldo Perdomo tripled and scored, Jake McCarthy singled in two runs, Josh Bell homered, and Eugenio Suárez hit another homer immediately after. By the middle of that inning, we had an 8-0 lead. It truly felt like nothing could go wrong.Brewers Begin the Climb
The Brewers tried to claw back bit by bit. They scored a run in the 3rd and then added two more in the 4th inning. Despite their efforts, we still led comfortably 8-3 entering the 5th inning.Shaky Late Innings
Our bats went quiet after that incredible 3rd inning, and Milwaukee continued to chip away. They added another run in the 6th to make it 8-4. In the 7th, they capitalized on a couple of mistakes, scoring two more and closing the gap to 8-6.Brewers' Dramatic Comeback
We managed to get an insurance run in the top of the 8th, with Randal Grichuk driving in Christian Walker to make it 9-6. However, the bottom of the 8th changed everything. The Brewers unleashed a furious rally, scoring 4 runs (including the game-winner on an infield single) to take a 10-9 lead. Rhys Hoskins and Willy Adames were pivotal in that rally for Milwaukee.Ninth Inning Hopes Crushed
In the top of the 9th, Jake McCarthy got on base with a walk and stole second, giving us some hope. Unfortunately, Corbin Carroll, Eugenio Suárez, and Jose Herrera couldn't bring him home. It was a nerve-wracking end to what had been a promising game.Looking Forward
While this loss stings, there were plenty of positives to take away. Our offense showed its potential, and we can build on that. Let's keep our heads up and look forward to the next game. Go D-backs!Scoreboard for Diamondbacks @ Brewers (September 22nd, 2024)
