A Tough Fight in Milwaukee
Hey Brewers fans!
What a rollercoaster of a game that was against the Phillies! Our boys gave it their all, but ultimately, it just wasn't enough. Still, there were plenty of moments to cheer about! Let's dive into the highlights of this nail-biter. Early Surge by the Brew Crew
Right off the bat, it was Brice Turang who put us on the board with a monumental solo homer to center, traveling an impressive 433 feet.
That set the pace early, and soon after, Blake Perkins stepped up with a solid double that brought home both William Contreras and Christian Yelich! By the end of the 1st inning, we were already up 3-0. And to keep the momentum going, Caleb Durbin crushed a home run in the 2nd inning, further extending our lead to 4-0. Things were looking good for us! 
Philadelphia's Comeback
The Phillies began to claw back in the 4th inning, with Bryce Harper launching a center-field homer. Even though Turang and others worked the bases, a few missteps allowed Philly to close the gap, and they took the lead in the 6th inning. Our trusty bullpen fought hard, but the Phillies edged ahead 6-5 by the end of that frame. They kept pressure on, with late-game doubles and key sacrifices pushing them to an 8-6 lead by the end of the 8th.
An Electric 8th Inning for the Brewers
But just when hope seemed to be slipping, the bottom of the 8th reignited our spirit. Isaac Collins came off the bench and shot a single to left that brought both Jackson Chourio and William Contreras home. This crucial at-bat evened the score at 8-8, and the stadium was rocking!
A Heartbreaking Finish
The top of the 9th saw the Phillies take back control, as they pushed two more runs across the plate. Our hopes were dashed as we couldn't muster a final comeback in the bottom of the 9th, with all batters being retired. Despite a valiant effort, we fell short with a final score of 10-8.
It's tough to lose such close games, but as a fan, it's also incredible to see us rally and fight till the very end. Let’s keep cheering for our Brewers—they’re giving it their all, and the season is far from over! Go Brew Crew!
