Phillies vs Brewers Recap: Brewers Dominate with 6-0 Win

The Brewers were hungry for a win at home. They'd lost two straight games and needed to bounce back fast. The Phillies flew into Milwaukee looking to keep their hot streak going—they'd won their last game and sat at 37-31 for the season. But this night belonged entirely to the Brewers. Right from the bottom of the first inning, Milwaukee struck. William Contreras ripped a double to right field, and Christian Yelich raced home with the first run. The score was 1-0, Brewers. Philadelphia's bats looked cold. The Phillies' stars—Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and J.T. Realmuto—couldn't find their rhythm. Strike after strike. Strikeout after strikeout. The Milwaukee crowd grew louder with every swing and miss. The Brewers' pitcher Jacob Misiorowski threw heat that was impossible to catch up to.

The second inning brought more bad news for Philadelphia. A wild pitch from Andrew Painter let another Brewer score. Now it was 2-0, Milwaukee. But the Brewers weren't done yet. They kept grinding in the fifth inning when Jake Bauers crushed a monster home run to left-center field. The ball exploded off his bat and sailed 391 feet into the Milwaukee sky. Two runners were already on base, so Bauers' three-run blast made it 5-0. Then in the sixth inning, Jackson Chourio singled to center field, and Joey Ortiz raced home with the sixth run. The scoreboard read 6-0. Painter was struggling badly. He couldn't find his control. He couldn't strike out the Brewers when they mattered. Meanwhile, Misiorowski was absolutely electric on the mound. Fifteen strikeouts. One hit allowed. Zero runs given up.

Philadelphia never got anything going the entire night. The Phillies' lineup looked lost at the plate. Trea Turner went hitless. Alec Bohm went hitless. Bryson Stott went hitless. Kyle Schwarber managed one hit, but it wasn't enough. One hit for the entire team. That's all Philadelphia could muster against Misiorowski's incredible arm. The Brewers' pitcher was absolutely untouchable. He threw nine innings and gave up just that single hit. No walks. No earned runs. He struck out fifteen batters and made the Phillies look overmatched from pitch one. Milwaukee's defense was sharp too, backing up their star pitcher perfectly. As the final out was recorded, the Brewers rushed the field. The final score was 6-0, Milwaukee. The Brewers improved to 41-25 with this dominant home win. The Phillies fell to 37-32, their winning streak snapped. This was a statement game for the Brewers and a frustrating loss for Philadelphia.
