📰Game Recap

The Arizona Diamondbacks built a substantial early lead before holding off a determined comeback bid from the Milwaukee Brewers, securing a narrow 8-7 victory. A six-run outburst in the second inning provided the crucial cushion for Arizona, who then had to withstand Milwaukee’s persistent offense down the stretch.
