Today’s game featured a start between Adrian Houser and Caleb Smith. It didn’t start well for Houser, who allowed a walk and a single to start the game. Two batters after that, Christian Walker hit a three-run home run to give the Diamondbacks an early 3-0 lead. Houser continued to have trouble in the first, allowing another single and a walk before Phil Bickford came in to finish the inning. Bickford got out of the inning, getting a fly out and a strikeout to end the inning.
In the bottom of the first, the Brewers responded with Kolten Wong leading off with a solo home run.
