After two straight losses, the Brewers needed to salvage a split to remain tied in the NL Central race after the series. They managed to do that, keeping the division race very tight.
The game didn’t start well. The second batter of the game, Nolan Gorman, singled to put a runner on base. Then came up Paul Goldschmidt. He doubled down the left field line, but from there it turned into a disaster. The Brewers tried to catch Gorman at the plate, but a bad throw by Willy Adames hit Gorman and he scored easily. Goldschmidt then advanced to third and Jason Alexander, backing up at the plate, tried to nab Goldschmidt, but the ball got by three different Brewers defenders and that let Goldschmidt score easily.
