The Brewers entered the game hoping to complete the sweep of the San Diego Padres and win their eighth straight game. Adrian Houser took the mound against Michael Wacha, with a 3.5-game lead over the Chicago Cubs for the top spot in the NL Central.
The Padres started the scoring in the top of the first when Manny Machado hit a fielder’s choice that scored Ha-Seong Kim. Milwaukee answered right back in the bottom of the first, as William Contreras blasted a home run to left-center to tie the game at one.
San Diego kept the scoring going in the top of the second and retook the lead when Gary Sanchez blasted a two-run home run and Matthew Batten followed that up with a solo home run, giving the Padres a 4-1 lead.
