The Brewers entered a massive series against the division leaders as they were only two games behind the Reds. Corbin Burnes took the mound for the Brewers against Andrew Abbott for Cincinnati. With a series win, the Brewers will have regained the top spot in the division, and continue trying to earn a playoff spot.
Milwaukee’s offense got going early, with three straight doubles from Contreras, Adames, and Miller which scored two runs. Joey Wiemer would get involved in the bottom of the second inning, blasting a towering solo home run to left center to increase the Brewers' lead to 3-0.
