As a devoted Brewers fan, I rode the emotional roller coaster from the first pitch to the final out. Let's dive into the key moments from the game.

The game started off with a bang as Brice Turang doubled to left and then stole third, setting the stage for Christian Yelich to bring him home with a single to right. Our Brewers led 1-0, and optimism was in the air! But the Astros, led by Jose Altuve with a solo homer and a 4-run rally in the 1st inning, quickly reminded us why they're formidable opponents, taking a 4-1 lead.Brewers' Grit but Astros' Might
Despite falling behind early, our team showed resilience. The 7th inning brought a spark of hope as we narrowed the gap to 6-4, thanks to Turang and Yelich delivering crucial hits. But just as we started to dream of a comeback, the Astros unleashed their power again. Kyle Tucker's home run in the 7th solidified the Astros' lead to a formidable 9-4.Late Game Efforts and Final Thoughts
In true Brewers spirit, the team didn't go down without a fight. Sal Frelick managed an infield single in the 8th, showing our never-say-die attitude. However, as the final innings played out, the Astros' pitching held strong, preventing any late-game heroics from our Brewers.As the game concluded with a 9-4 victory for the Astros, it's tough not to feel a mix of disappointment and pride.
