The game was decided before most fans found their seats. Milwaukee sent George Kirby to the mound and greeted him with a six-run first inning, and Seattle never had enough innings left to climb all the way back. The Brewers won 7-4.

Garrett Mitchell was at the center of the damage, going 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and 3 RBIs. His two-run double in the first inning padded an already growing lead, and he added an eighth-inning home run to center field that pushed the margin further. It was the kind of complete offensive day that defines a laugher.
The decisive sequence came in the bottom of the first. Gary Sánchez doubled to left field to score Brice Turang and Jake Bauers, and that play — his second double of the game and a two-run shot — gave Milwaukee a lead it would never relinquish. Joey Ortiz followed with a single that brought home Sánchez, and Mitchell's double then scored both Christian Yelich and Ortiz. David Hamilton capped the inning with a double of his own, plating Mitchell and making it 0-6 before Seattle had recorded an out worth mentioning.
Seattle chipped away but could never threaten. Brendan Donovan's double scored Taylor Ward and Brock Rodden in the second inning, and Dominic Canzone's single brought home Jhonny Pereda in the fourth, but the Mariners could get no closer than three runs. George Kirby took the loss after allowing 6 runs on 9 hits over 3.1 innings with 3 strikeouts, his record falling to 8-10 with a 4.18 ERA. Milwaukee starter Robert Gasser worked 3.2 innings and allowed 4 runs, but the bullpen shut the door: Chad Patrick, Aaron Ashby and Trevor Megill combined to cover the final innings without allowing a run, with Megill closing it out for the save.
The win moved Milwaukee to 79-49, extending its winning streak to W1 and keeping the Brewers atop the division. Seattle fell to 60-68, dropping its second straight after the loss.
