Brewers Start Strong, But Fall Short
Hey Brewers fans! While our boys gave it their all in Tampa, the game ended with the Rays edging us out 4-3. We started on a high note in the first inning. Jackson Chourio got things going with a nice infield single and a stolen base, bringing the first Brewers run home thanks to William Contreras' single.

Back and Forth Battle
The game kept us on the edge of our seats as both teams fought hard. In the top of the fourth, Contreras walked, and Christian Yelich moved him to third with a single. Rhys Hoskins missed out swinging, but Sal Frelick played it smart, reaching on catcher's interference. Caleb Durbin grounded out but gave us the lead with Contreras crossing home. Unfortunately, the Rays answered back quickly with Brandon Lowe's solo home run in the bottom of the inning, tying it up.Late Game Drama
We managed to tie things back up in the eighth when Hoskins delivered a solid single that brought Brice Turang home. However, Tampa executed in the bottom of the eighth, despite our pitching shuffle, and walked in the go-ahead run. In the ninth, Isaac Collins and the others couldn't turn Chourio's hit into a run. Seeing Turang ground out to end the game was tough. It's disappointing, but let's be proud of how our Brewers fought! Tough loss, but we've got more games ahead and plenty of opportunities to bounce back.
Come on Brewers, we’ll get them next time!
