Yastrzemski (his fourth home run of the season) and Chapman (his fifth home run of the season) hit home runs.
Starting pitcher Landon Rupp recorded 6 hits allowed, 3 walks, 2 strikeouts, and 5 runs (4 earned) in 3⅔ innings. The bullpen, consisting of Spencer Bivens (2 innings, no earned runs), Eric Miller (1⅓ innings, no earned runs), Tyler Rogers (1 inning, no earned runs), and Camilo Doval (1 inning, no earned runs), laid the groundwork for the comeback win.

The bullpen led by Abner Uribe (1 inning, 2 earned runs), Jarred Kelenic (1 inning, no earned runs), Nick Mears (1 inning, no earned runs), Tyler Alexander (⅓ inning, 2 earned runs), and Trevor Megill (⅔ inning, no earned runs) failed to protect the team's victory.
In the bottom of the first inning, with Milwaukee leading 1-0 and one out and a runner on second base, Lee Jung-hoo stepped up to the plate and hit a first pitch fastball from left-handed starter Myers, clocked at 93.6 mph (150.6 km/h), for an equalizing 1-RBI double. The hit had a speed of 99.6 mph (160.3 km/h). However, there were no subsequent hits, so no additional runs were scored.
Lee Jung-hoo stepped up to the plate for his second at-bat with no outs and a runner on first base in the third inning, where the two teams were tied 2-2, and drew a straight walk off Myers. However, again, there was no subsequent hit.
In the fifth inning, with San Francisco trailing 2-5, Lee Jung-hoo came to bat as the leadoff hitter and once again drew a straight walk off right-handed reliever Uribe. Chapman followed up with a two-run homer, and Lee Jung-hoo also scored. In the sixth inning, he faced left-handed reliever Kelenic and hit a 95.5 mph (153.7 km/h) sinker for a grounder to first base.
In the eighth inning, San Francisco successfully came back to lead 6-5 with Yastrzemski's game-tying sacrifice fly and a critical fielding error by Yelich on Adames's hit. Lee Jung-hoo entered the final at-bat with one out and runners on first and second base. He hit a 97.5 mph (156.9 km/h) fastball from Megill, but it was caught as a fly out to center field. San Francisco's closer Doval managed to hold off in the top of the ninth inning, and Lee Jung-hoo got the final out, securing the victory.
