What happened: Milwaukee plated its second run of the game by turning over the lineup with consecutive one-base hits from the final three spots in the batting order.

Why it matters: Consistent contact from the lower third of the order has anchored the relentless Milwaukee Brewers lineup throughout the World Series. Generating traffic across all nine lineup spots forces opposing starters into high-stress pitches before the top of the order returns.

What to watch: Milwaukee looks to protect the two-run cushion as the game moves into the middle innings.
