The Brewers looked to kick off their series against the Phillies with a win. Peralta was on the mound facing Philadelphia lefty Ranger Suarez. Peralta looked to improve on his abysmal first couple outings of the year. Counsell loaded the lineup with right-handed hitters including putting Keston Hiura at first base.
Milwaukee had something going in the first inning, with McCutchen leading off with a double. Adames then singled putting runners at the corners with no outs with Yelich up to bat. He hit a weak groundball in front of the plate and Phillies catcher JT Realmuto made a throwing error resulting in the bases loaded with no outs.
