6 Jun
Summary
- Brewers scored eight runs in final two innings after being hitless.
- Milwaukee won for the first time when trailing after eight innings.
- Jake Bauers hit a two-run double in the decisive four-run 10th inning.
The Milwaukee Brewers secured a remarkable 9-7 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday night, fueled by a dramatic offensive surge in the late innings. Milwaukee scored a combined eight runs in the ninth and tenth innings, overcoming a significant deficit and a prolonged period of offensive silence.
The Brewers had been hitless from the second through the eighth innings, yet they managed to win for the first time this season when trailing after eight. This resilience was highlighted by Jake Bauers' crucial two-run double in the tenth inning, which propelled Milwaukee to a four-run frame and ultimately sealed the win.
Earlier, Andrew Vaughn's pinch-hit two-run single had been instrumental in the ninth inning, capping a four-run rally that tied the game. The Rockies' bullpen, which had been effective for much of the game, struggled in the crucial final innings. Juan Mejia (1-5) was charged with the loss for Colorado.
Brewers reliever Trevor Megill (1-2) was credited with the win after allowing two runs in the tenth inning, but ultimately held the lead long enough for his team's offense to prevail. Aaron Ashby closed out the game for Milwaukee.
