The Rockies won this one before Milwaukee's lineup ever settled in. Colorado scored twice in the first inning, and Milwaukee spent the rest of the night chasing a deficit it never erased. The final was 5-2.

Brice Turang was the lone bright spot for the Brewers, going 3-for-4 with a home run and an RBI. His solo shot to center in the sixth inning cut the deficit to 4-2, part of a night that also saw Christian Yelich homer to center in the first. But Milwaukee could not find enough behind those two swings, finishing with 9 hits as a team but stranding too many chances to complete the comeback.
Colorado's first inning set the tone. Cole Carrigg doubled to left to score Karros, and moments later Hunter Goodman singled to left to bring home Carrigg, staking the Rockies to a 2-0 lead before Milwaukee batted. Colorado kept adding: Karros singled to right in the third to score McCarthy, Mickey Moniak's sacrifice fly in the fourth brought home Castro, and TJ Rumfield's double in the seventh drove in Moniak for the final margin.
Shane Drohan took the loss for Milwaukee, allowing 5 runs on 6 hits over 6.0 innings with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts, now 5-4 on the season with a 3.51 ERA. Tomoyuki Sugano earned the win for Colorado, working 5.1 innings and allowing 2 runs on 6 hits with 5 strikeouts, improving to 10-4 with a 4.69 ERA. Jordan Romano closed it out with a scoreless inning for his save. Both bullpens were sharp behind their starters — Milwaukee's relievers covered 3.0 innings without a run, while Colorado's three relievers combined for 3.2 scoreless innings.
The result snapped a one-game skid for Colorado, which improved to 42-63, while Milwaukee fell to 64-39 despite still sitting atop its division. The Brewers' loss ended a stretch where the offense had carried them, with this night instead becoming a story of an early deficit that never closed.
