Milwaukee put together a vintage Brewers’ win in their 6-2 triumph over the Phillies.
In this series opener, with both teams vying for a top seed in the National League, the Brewers excelled in all the areas that make them great. Some small ball, opposite-field hits, clever baserunning, and timely pitching all factored into their convincing victory.
It started with Aaron Civale’s impressive night, shutting down the Phillies lineup apart from a solo home run to Brandon Marsh in the fifth inning. He worked around seven hits to finish with just one run on his ledger across five innings.
