The Crew looked like they’d get things going early, as William Contreras singled and Christian Yelich doubled off the Green Monster to put runners at second and third with one out.

Unfortunately, Brayan Bello was able to strike both Garrett Mitchell and Jake Bauers out to escape the jam. In the bottom of the inning, Brandon Woodruff got into some trouble himself. Roman Anthony started things off with a double before advancing to third on a flyout.

Willson Contreras followed with a walk to put runners at the corners, and after a Wilyer Abreu strikeout, Trevor Story picked up a single to bring Anthony home for a 1-0 lead. Milwaukee got a couple more baserunners in the second, as Sal Frelick walked and David Hamilton singled to once again put two runners on with only one out. Blake Perkins struck out and Brice Turang grounded out, and Bello was once again out of the inning unscathed.

The Sox started the home half of the second with a single by Caleb Durbin, who was later caught stealing second with two outs in what ended up being a circuitous 1-2-3 inning for Woodruff. For the third consecutive inning, the Brewers threatened against Bello in the third. Contreras walked, and Yelich singled to put two runners on with no outs in this go-round.
