The visiting Milwaukee Brewers nearly scored in the first inning when Ryan Braun blooped a two-out single to right center. After right fielder Jose Martinez came up short on a diving attempt, center fielder Dexter Fowler picked up the ball and fired a strike to Yadier Molina at the plate to easily retire Christian Yelich, who had walked with one out.
