It was his first hit in two games, and his season batting average improved slightly to 2-for-2 from 2-for-5.
San Diego’s batting order was Zander Bogaerts (second base), Fernando Tatis Jr. (right field), Jake Cronenweth (first base), Manny Machado (designated hitter), Jurickson Profar (left field), Ha Sung Kim (shortstop), Jackson Merrill (center field), Luis Campusano (catcher), and Tyler Wade (third base).
San Diego put runners on first and second with no outs in the top of the first when starter Joe Musgrove gave up a single to left field to Shurio, a stolen base and a walk to Contreras. Frerick struck out swinging, but gave up an RBI single to left to Adames.
Trailing 1-0 in the top of the second, Machado struck out and Profar grounded out to second. Kim stepped to the plate and took a four-seam 87.4 mph slider from Milwaukee starter Joe Ross for a single to left.

In the next at-bat, Merrill singled to left, advancing Kim to third.
But Campusano struck out to end the San Diego offense.

After the eighth inning, right-hander Stephon Kolek took the mound in the ninth and got two outs, with Robert Suarez getting the other.
With two outs in the ninth, he gave up an infield single to Oliver Dunn. Dunn’s bat broke, sending a piece of it flying toward Kolek, creating a dangerous situation. 파워볼실시간 Dunn made a great throw to shortstop Kim Ha-seong at second base, but the throw was high enough that the first baseman’s foot came off the base and he was safe.
With the bases loaded and two outs, Kolek walked Shurio, Milwaukee’s hottest hitter of the day, to load the bases. The San Diego bench then called up Suarez. Suarez gave up an infield single to William Contreras. Second baseman Bogaerts made a good catch on the hard-hit ball, but the throw to first was poor.
Suarez got Frericke to fly out to right field with the bases loaded to end the game.
