There were a few interesting similarities between Game #1 and #2 in Milwaukee. Both saw the Brewers jump on our starter for a first-inning advantage. A home-run then pulled the D-backs back within one run, before they regained the lead. The Arizona bullpen then held firm down the stretch, as the Milwaukee offense were unable to take advantage of chances to turn the game back in their favor. Paul Sewald came in to close out the game in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead, and hit a batter, but escaped without allowing a run. The Diamondbacks prevailed despite managing three fewer hits than the Brewers over the course of the game.
