Chicago White Sox at Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers edged out the Chicago White Sox 9-7 at American Family Field, a game in which post-play umpire reviews showcased a significant tilt towards Milwaukee’s challenges. Of the eight challenges issued, five were overturned, and Milwaukee’s four successful reviews out of five attempts contrasted sharply with Chicago’s single overturn from three attempts. This discrepancy underscores how Brewers’ managers capitalized on pivotal calls, often changing the course of at-bats in Milwaukee’s favor.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Jeferson Quero’s called strike was overturned on a full count, flipping the count from 3-2 to 2-3 and effectively extending the plate appearance while the Brewers held a 7-2 lead. Similarly, Chicago’s Edgar Quero benefited from a successful challenge the inning prior, having one strike removed and gaining an 1-3 count from 2-2, though this did not ultimately slow Milwaukee’s momentum. The bottom of the eighth produced another crucial Brewers’ overturn on Sal Frelick’s ball call, which changed the count from full to a more favorable 4-1, allowing Milwaukee to solidify their late-game positioning in a 9-7 contest.
