Pitching for the Brewers, rookie right-hander Tobias Myers had an impressive performance, recording a career-high 11 strikeouts over six innings, helping the team avoid a potential fourth consecutive loss.

Adames was a standout player for the Brewers, hitting his 30th homer of the season and recording 101 RBIs. His first-inning homer off Ty Blach put Milwaukee in the lead, a position they maintained throughout the game. Sánchez followed up with his 10th homer of the year.
Contreras extended the lead with a two-run shot in the third inning, breaking out of a 0-for-20 slump. The Brewers secured the win with Joey Ortiz adding an RBI double in the fifth.
Myers was instrumental in the Brewers’ victory, allowing only one run, four hits, and one walk over six innings. Hilliard managed to hit another home run for the Rockies in the eighth inning.
Devin Williams sealed the win for the Brewers by striking out the side in the ninth inning for his ninth save of the season.
In terms of injuries, Rockies’ player Brenton Doyle left the game in the fifth inning after making a diving catch in the outfield. Rockies manager Bud Black expressed uncertainty about the return of Kris Bryant this season due to a back strain.
