Phillies vs Milwaukee Brewers Match Player Stats
The phillies vs milwaukee brewers match player stats from June 14, 2026, reveal how Milwaukee combined effective starting pitching, timely power hitting, and a dominant bullpen performance to defeat Philadelphia 4-0 at American Family Field. The Brewers recorded 10 hits, hit two home runs, and held the Phillies to just four hits across nine innings. Blake Perkins delivered the decisive blow with a three-run homer in the fourth inning, while Jackson Chourio opened the scoring with a solo shot in the first.
The victory secured a 2-1 series win for Milwaukee after the teams split the first two games. Kyle Harrison controlled Philadelphia’s lineup for six scoreless innings, and the Brewers’ relievers protected the lead without allowing a run. For the Phillies, Cristopher Sánchez pitched effectively enough to keep the game close early, but two home runs ultimately proved costly.
This detailed game breakdown covers the final score, individual batting performances, pitching statistics, scoring plays, and the most important tactical lessons from the matchup. All game-specific figures below are based on the supplied ESPN Australia box-score data.
Phillies vs Milwaukee Brewers Match Player Stats: Game Overview
The final result reflected a clear difference in offensive production. Philadelphia struggled to turn its limited opportunities into sustained pressure, while Milwaukee capitalized on two critical moments to establish a lead it never surrendered.

Milwaukee’s four runs came from two home runs rather than a steady stream of scoring throughout the game. Chourio’s first-inning home run supplied an early advantage, and Perkins’ three-run homer in the fourth created the decisive separation.
Philadelphia recorded four hits but did not score. That distinction matters because a team can collect several hits without generating the combination of baserunners, extra-base power, and productive plate appearances required to change the scoreboard.

Milwaukee finished with six more hits and four more runs. Philadelphia also failed to draw a walk, limiting its opportunities to reach base without recording a hit. The Brewers were not perfect offensively, leaving six runners on base and going 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position, but their two home runs made the difference.
Philadelphia Phillies Player Stats
The Phillies’ batting line shows how difficult it was for the lineup to make meaningful contact against Harrison and the Milwaukee bullpen. Kyle Schwarber, Bryson Stott, J. Crawford, and D. Hill each recorded a hit, but none scored a run.

AB means at-bats, H means hits, R means runs, RBI means runs batted in, HR means home runs, and K means strikeouts. A value marked “Not listed” was not specified in the supplied player-level data.
Kyle Schwarber: Philadelphia’s leading hitter
Schwarber finished 1-for-4, with a .247 batting average, .363 on-base percentage, and .568 slugging percentage listed in the supplied data. He was the only one of Philadelphia’s primary power threats to record a hit among the four-at-bat players shown.
However, a single hit was not enough to create a scoring opportunity that changed the game. Schwarber finished without a run, RBI, or home run.
His season slugging percentage of .568 indicates substantial extra-base power over the broader sample represented by the supplied figures. The contrast between that season mark and his scoreless performance illustrates why season statistics and single-game results must be interpreted separately.
Trea Turner: A difficult day at the plate
Turner went 0-for-4 and struck out twice. His listed season batting average was .219, with a .269 on-base percentage and .330 slugging percentage.
The two strikeouts are particularly relevant because they represent plate appearances that ended without the ball being put into play. Against a starting pitcher who is consistently limiting hard contact and avoiding walks, those missed opportunities make it harder for the offense to build momentum.
Turner’s result should not be treated as proof of a broader trend on its own. A single game is too small a sample to establish a lasting change in a hitter’s performance.
Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm: No hits in eight at-bats
Harper and Bohm combined to go 0-for-8. Harper struck out once, while the supplied figures do not specify a strikeout total for Bohm.
Both players finished without a run or RBI. Their combined line is important because middle-of-the-order hitters are often expected to convert baserunners into runs or create extra-base damage themselves.
In this game, Philadelphia could not generate enough traffic ahead of its leading hitters to create a sustained threat. Even when a lineup includes established power, the absence of baserunners and timely hits can neutralize that advantage.
Brandon Marsh: Strong season numbers, limited game impact
Marsh went 0-for-4 with one strikeout. His listed season figures were a .322 batting average, .356 on-base percentage, and .492 slugging percentage.
Those numbers suggest that his overall production had been considerably better than his result in this matchup. Nevertheless, his four hitless at-bats contributed to Philadelphia’s inability to extend innings or create scoring pressure.
The important analytical distinction is between a player’s established production over many games and his contribution on a particular night. Marsh’s season figures offer context, but the box score records no hits or runs from him in this contest.
Bryson Stott, J. Crawford, and D. Hill
Stott went 1-for-3, Crawford went 1-for-1, and Hill went 1-for-3. Together, they accounted for three of Philadelphia’s four hits.
Hill also struck out twice and committed the fielding error recorded against Philadelphia. That error was a defensive issue rather than a direct explanation for the shutout, since Milwaukee’s scoring summary identifies two home runs as the source of all four runs.
Stott’s hit and Crawford’s single were useful individual contributions, but neither produced a run. Philadelphia’s five runners left on base indicate that some opportunities remained unfinished, although the supplied figures do not identify every baserunner’s exact inning or circumstances.
Phillies team batting analysis
Philadelphia finished with 31 at-bats, four hits, six strikeouts, no walks, and no RBIs. The lineup’s four hits represented a .129 batting average for the game.
Three aspects stand out:
- No walks: The Phillies did not receive a free pass to first base, reducing their ability to create traffic without a hit.
- No extra-base power: Philadelphia did not hit a home run, and its supplied team total recorded no runs or RBIs.
- Limited conversion: Five runners were left on base, showing that reaching base did not translate into scoring.
The Phillies did not necessarily need a large number of hits to change the result. A single extra-base hit with runners aboard could have shifted the pressure toward Milwaukee. Instead, the Brewers kept the lineup scoreless throughout the game.
Milwaukee Brewers Player Stats
Milwaukee’s offense produced 10 hits, four runs, and two home runs. Jackson Chourio supplied the opening run, while Blake Perkins delivered the decisive three-run homer.

| D. Hamilton | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Jackson Chourio: The early breakthrough
Chourio went 2-for-4 with one run, one RBI, and one home run. His listed season figures were a .322 batting average, .370 on-base percentage, and .572 slugging percentage.
His biggest contribution came in the first inning, when he hit a 412-foot solo home run to center field. That swing gave Milwaukee a 1-0 lead and immediately put Philadelphia in the position of having to score against a pitcher who would prove difficult to solve.
The value of an early home run extends beyond the run itself. It changes the scoreboard before the opposing offense has established a rhythm and allows the leading team to manage later innings without needing to chase additional runs aggressively.
Chourio’s second hit also helped him finish with a multi-hit game. His performance combined immediate scoring impact with additional offensive production.
Blake Perkins: The decisive three-run home run
Perkins recorded two hits in four at-bats, scored once, and drove in three runs. His 399-foot home run to left-center field came in the fourth inning and scored Gary Sánchez and Luis Rengifo along with Perkins himself.
The swing transformed a narrow 1-0 lead into a 4-0 advantage. It was the defining moment of the game because Philadelphia never scored afterward.
Perkins also hit a double, according to the supplied game data. His final line included a .133 batting average, .235 on-base percentage, and .227 slugging percentage in the listed season figures. Those season numbers provide an important reminder that a decisive single-game performance does not necessarily mirror a player’s overall production.
His three RBIs represented 75% of Milwaukee’s four runs. Chourio drove in the remaining run, meaning the two home runs accounted for every run on the Brewers’ side.
William Contreras: Consistent contact
Contreras finished 2-for-4 without a run or RBI. His listed season figures were a .295 batting average, .352 on-base percentage, and .411 slugging percentage.
Although his hits did not directly produce runs in the final scoring summary, they contributed to Milwaukee’s 10-hit total. Multiple-hit performances can sustain offensive pressure even when the hitter does not appear in the scoring column.
Contreras also doubled, with the supplied data identifying it as his 12th double of the season. That extra-base hit gave Milwaukee another example of production beyond the two home runs.
Gary Sánchez and Luis Rengifo
Sánchez went 1-for-4 and scored one run. Rengifo also went 1-for-4 and scored once. Both crossed home plate on Perkins’ three-run home run in the fourth inning.
Their value in this game was tied to their position in the scoring sequence. Perkins could not have driven in three runs without the two runners ahead of him reaching base and remaining available to score.
This is a central lesson in baseball offense: the hitter who drives in the runs receives the most visible credit, but the players who reach base beforehand help create the opportunity.
Andrew Vaughn, Garrett Mitchell, Joey Ortiz, and D. Hamilton
Vaughn went 0-for-3, drew one walk, and struck out once. Mitchell went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Ortiz and Hamilton each recorded one hit, while Hamilton also struck out once.
Ortiz committed Milwaukee’s listed throwing error, his sixth of the season according to the supplied figures. That defensive mistake did not prevent the Brewers from winning, but it is a reminder that a strong team performance can include individual errors.
Hamilton was caught stealing second base in the second inning by Sánchez and Marchán. Milwaukee also recorded a double play involving Vaughn.
These details matter when reviewing the full game because they show that the Brewers did not dominate every individual sequence. Their advantage came from producing runs at decisive moments and preventing Philadelphia from answering.
Brewers team batting analysis
Milwaukee finished with 33 at-bats, 10 hits, four RBIs, two home runs, one walk, and five strikeouts. Its game batting average was .303, calculated from 10 hits in 33 at-bats.
The strongest features of the performance were:
- Power at the right moments: Chourio and Perkins hit the two home runs that produced all four runs.
- More consistent contact: Milwaukee collected six more hits than Philadelphia.
- A decisive fourth inning: Perkins capitalized on two runners being aboard to create a three-run swing.
- Enough production without perfect situational hitting: The Brewers went only 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position, yet still scored four runs through their home runs.
The last point is particularly important. A team’s overall result cannot always be explained by its performance with runners in scoring position alone. Home runs can score runs regardless of whether a team has accumulated several successful situational at-bats.
Pitching Stats: Kyle Harrison vs. Cristopher Sánchez
The starting-pitcher matchup was one of the clearest differences between the teams. Harrison delivered six scoreless innings, while Sánchez allowed four earned runs over 5.2 innings.
Starting-pitcher comparison
| Statistic | Kyle Harrison | Cristopher Sánchez |
| Team | Brewers | Phillies |
| Innings Pitched | 6.0 | 5.2 |
| Hits Allowed | 3 | 8 |
| Earned Runs Allowed | 0 | 4 |
| Strikeouts | 3 | 3 |
| Walks | 0 | 1 |
| Game Score | 69 | 39 |
| Decision | Win | Loss |
| Listed Record After Game | 8-1 | 8-3 |
Harrison’s performance gave Milwaukee six innings without a run allowed. He permitted three hits, struck out three batters, and issued no walks. That combination limited Philadelphia’s ability to create repeated scoring opportunities.
Sánchez also recorded three strikeouts, but he allowed eight hits and four earned runs. The most damaging contact came from Chourio and Perkins, whose home runs supplied the entire Milwaukee scoring total.
Why Harrison’s control mattered
Harrison did not need a high strikeout total to succeed. His three strikeouts were fewer than the kind of totals often associated with overpowering starts, but he limited hits and avoided walks.
That profile reduced the number of easy baserunners Philadelphia could accumulate. When a pitcher does not issue walks, the opposing lineup generally needs to earn its way on base through hits or other events.
Harrison’s zero-walk line was especially important in a shutout because it prevented Philadelphia from receiving free baserunners that might have helped turn a single into a scoring opportunity.
His six scoreless innings also allowed Milwaukee to move into its bullpen with a four-run lead and a clear path to finishing the game.
Sánchez’s outing and the cost of two home runs
Sánchez pitched 5.2 innings, allowed eight hits, and surrendered four earned runs. He struck out three and walked one.
The distinction between hits allowed and runs allowed is important. Eight hits did not automatically mean a poor outing in every inning, but the two home runs were particularly costly because they converted contact directly into runs.
Chourio’s solo homer accounted for one run. Perkins’ three-run shot accounted for the other three. No additional scoring play was required for Milwaukee to reach four runs.
Sánchez’s final line therefore reflects both the volume of contact allowed and the damage created by two swings. A deeper evaluation would also examine pitch location, exit velocity, launch angle, and pitch selection, none of which are included in the supplied box-score data.
Brewers Bullpen and Phillies Relief Pitchers
The bullpen comparison reinforces the overall story of the game. Milwaukee’s relievers protected Harrison’s work, while Philadelphia’s relief pitchers prevented further scoring after Sánchez departed.
Milwaukee relief pitching
| Pitcher | Innings | Hits Allowed | Runs Allowed | Earned Runs | Walks | Strikeouts |
| Abner Uribe | 1.0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Aaron Ashby | 2.0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
Uribe allowed one hit but did not surrender a run or walk. Ashby then closed the final two innings with no hits allowed, no runs, and three strikeouts.
Ashby’s performance was particularly effective because he prevented Philadelphia from building a late rally. The Phillies entered the final innings needing four runs, but they could not generate the baserunners required to make that comeback realistic.
The supplied team pitching totals credit Milwaukee with nine innings, four hits allowed, no runs, no earned runs, no walks, and six strikeouts. Those totals align with Harrison’s six innings, Uribe’s one inning, and Ashby’s two innings.
Philadelphia relief pitching
| Pitcher | Innings | Hits Allowed | Runs Allowed | Earned Runs | Walks | Strikeouts |
| C. Shugart | 1.1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| T. Banks | 1.0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Shugart and Banks combined to record 2.1 scoreless innings in the supplied figures. Shugart allowed one hit and struck out one, while Banks allowed one hit and also struck out one.
Their work stopped Milwaukee from adding to its lead after the fourth-inning home run. However, Philadelphia’s offense could not take advantage of those scoreless innings.
That contrast highlights an important point: effective relief pitching can keep a team within reach, but it cannot erase a deficit without corresponding offensive production.
Phillies vs Milwaukee Brewers Match Player Stats by Inning
The inning-by-inning scoring pattern explains why Milwaukee won without needing a late offensive surge. The Brewers scored once in the opening inning and three times in the fourth. Philadelphia remained scoreless in all nine innings.
Runs by inning
| Inning | Phillies | Brewers |
| 1st | 0 | 1 |
| 2nd | 0 | 0 |
| 3rd | 0 | 0 |
| 4th | 0 | 3 |
| 5th | 0 | 0 |
| 6th | 0 | 0 |
| 7th | 0 | 0 |
| 8th | 0 | 0 |
| 9th | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 0 | 4 |
Milwaukee’s scoring was concentrated in two innings. That made the fourth inning especially important because it turned a one-run contest into a four-run game.
Philadelphia had six innings remaining after the three-run homer to mount a response, but the offense never scored. The Brewers’ pitchers made the four-run lead stand up for the remainder of the contest.
First inning: Chourio gives Milwaukee the lead
Chourio opened the scoring with a 412-foot solo home run to center field. The ball traveled far enough to make the home run a clear display of power, and the resulting 1-0 lead gave Milwaukee an early advantage.
The first-inning homer also established a pattern for the game. Milwaukee’s most valuable offensive moments came from hard-hit balls that left the park, rather than from a succession of singles and walks.
For Philadelphia, falling behind early meant the lineup had to find a way to generate offense against Harrison. That proved difficult as the Milwaukee starter limited the Phillies to three hits over six innings.
Second and third innings: The game settles into a pitching contest
Neither team scored in the second or third inning. Milwaukee did record an important baserunning event when D. Hamilton was caught stealing second base by Sánchez and Marchán.
That play removed a potential baserunner and ended an opportunity for Milwaukee to add pressure. It also demonstrates that the Brewers’ eventual victory did not come from flawless execution in every phase of the game.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, could not turn its early plate appearances into a run. Harrison continued to prevent the visitors from building a meaningful rally before the decisive fourth inning.
Fourth inning: Perkins creates separation
The fourth inning changed the game. Gary Sánchez and Luis Rengifo reached base and later scored on Perkins’ 399-foot three-run homer to left-center field.
The sequence increased Milwaukee’s lead from 1-0 to 4-0. Perkins received credit for three RBIs, while Sánchez and Rengifo each scored one run.
From a game-management perspective, the home run altered the options available to both managers. Milwaukee could focus on preserving its advantage, while Philadelphia had to find four runs against a pitching staff that had not yet allowed a score.
The fourth inning also illustrates why run timing matters. A three-run homer with two runners aboard can produce more scoreboard impact than several isolated singles spread across different innings.
Fifth through ninth innings: Milwaukee protects the shutout
The Brewers did not score again after the fourth inning, but they did not need to. Harrison completed six scoreless innings, Uribe worked the seventh, and Ashby handled the final two innings.
Philadelphia’s relievers also kept Milwaukee off the scoreboard in the later innings. Shugart and Banks recorded scoreless work, but the Phillies’ hitters could not turn that defensive improvement into a comeback.
The game ended 4-0 after two hours and 31 minutes. Milwaukee had produced its runs early enough to avoid needing late insurance, and its pitching staff preserved the shutout.
Key Turning Points That Decided the Game
A box score records the final numbers, but the sequence of events explains how those numbers came about. Three elements stand out in this matchup.
1. Chourio’s home run established the first advantage
The first-inning homer gave Milwaukee an immediate lead. It also reduced the need for the Brewers to take risks on the bases or force the issue with aggressive hitting later.
A one-run lead is never secure, particularly against a lineup with established power. However, Harrison’s ability to keep Philadelphia scoreless allowed Milwaukee to maintain that advantage until Perkins expanded it.
2. Perkins turned two baserunners into three runs
Perkins’ home run was the largest single scoring play of the contest. Instead of adding one run to the lead, he drove in himself and two teammates.
That outcome explains the difference between Milwaukee’s 10 hits and its four runs. Not every hit contributed equally to the final score, and Perkins’ swing carried the greatest immediate impact.
His three RBIs accounted for most of the team’s scoring. Chourio’s solo shot supplied the remaining run, making the pair of home runs responsible for the entire four-run total.
3. Harrison and Ashby denied Philadelphia a response
The offensive advantage mattered because Milwaukee’s pitchers protected it. Harrison allowed no earned runs in six innings, and Ashby struck out three over two scoreless innings without allowing a hit.
The Phillies could not use the middle innings to close the gap, and they did not mount a final-inning rally. That combination of early scoring and sustained pitching effectiveness made the result convincing despite the relatively modest four-run total.
Statistical Comparison: Where Milwaukee Held the Advantage
The most useful way to interpret the matchup is to compare how the teams generated offense, prevented runs, and handled scoring opportunities.
Hits and offensive efficiency
Milwaukee collected 10 hits compared with Philadelphia’s four. The Brewers’ .303 game batting average was substantially higher than the Phillies’ .129 mark.
This gap indicates that Milwaukee generated more frequent successful contact. However, hits alone do not fully explain the result. The two home runs were especially important because they directly produced all four runs.
Philadelphia’s four hits were not enough to create sustained pressure. The lineup recorded no walks, no home runs, and no RBIs.
Power hitting
Milwaukee hit two home runs, while Philadelphia hit none. That was the clearest difference in extra-base scoring impact.
Chourio’s solo homer produced the opening run, and Perkins’ three-run homer provided the final margin. Without either home run, the scoring pattern would have been very different.
The lesson is not that home runs always determine baseball games. Rather, when a team scores all its runs through two home runs and the opponent remains scoreless, power hitting becomes the central explanation for the outcome.
Plate discipline
Philadelphia drew no walks, while Milwaukee drew one. Harrison’s zero-walk outing prevented the Phillies from receiving free baserunners during his six innings.
Milwaukee’s single walk did not dominate the offensive story, but the team combined that opportunity with 10 hits and two home runs. Philadelphia did not produce a similar combination.
Walk totals should always be interpreted in context. A team can win without drawing many walks if it makes enough productive contact, and that is precisely what Milwaukee accomplished here.
Situational hitting
The Brewers went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position. That figure might initially appear inconsistent with a four-run victory, but the home runs help explain the outcome.
A home run scores the batter and any runners already aboard. It therefore creates runs without requiring a conventional hit with runners in scoring position to produce each individual run.
Philadelphia’s lack of runs and RBIs shows the opposite problem. The team did not find the decisive hit that could have brought a runner home.
Defensive execution
Both teams recorded one error. Hill committed Philadelphia’s listed fielding error, while Ortiz was charged with a throwing error for Milwaukee.
The equal error totals mean fielding mistakes alone do not explain the final margin. The most direct causes were Milwaukee’s superior hit total, its two home runs, and the pitching staff’s ability to prevent Philadelphia from scoring.
Milwaukee also recorded a double play involving Vaughn. Philadelphia caught Hamilton stealing second in the second inning. These plays affected individual opportunities, but the final outcome was determined primarily by the two home runs and the shutout pitching.
What the Player Statistics Reveal About Team Performance
Individual box-score figures are most useful when they are connected to the team’s broader performance. Several conclusions can be drawn from this game without assuming facts that the available data does not establish.
Milwaukee converted its biggest opportunities
The Brewers did not need a hit in every scoring situation. They needed the right contact at the right time.
Chourio hit a solo home run with the bases empty. Perkins then hit a three-run home run with two teammates aboard. Together, those swings produced all four runs.
This is a strong example of concentrated offensive production. A small number of high-impact plate appearances can decide a game even when the rest of the lineup has a mixed performance.
Philadelphia lacked offensive depth in this contest
The Phillies received one hit each from Schwarber, Stott, Crawford, and Hill. No other listed Philadelphia hitter recorded a hit.
That distribution meant the lineup had little opportunity to build multi-hit innings. Without walks or home runs, Philadelphia needed consecutive hits and productive baserunning to score. Those sequences never materialized.
It would be excessive to conclude that Philadelphia had a general offensive weakness based on one game. The more defensible conclusion is that its offense did not produce enough against Milwaukee on June 14.
The pitching comparison was about damage prevention
Harrison and Sánchez both recorded three strikeouts. The difference was not the raw strikeout count but the number of hits and runs allowed.
Harrison permitted three hits and no earned runs. Sánchez allowed eight hits and four earned runs, including the two home runs.
This illustrates why evaluating pitchers solely by strikeouts can be misleading. Strikeouts are valuable, but contact management, walks, and the quality of the hits allowed also affect the outcome.
The bullpen completed the work
Milwaukee’s relief pitchers did not allow a run, and Ashby finished the game without surrendering a hit. That kept the Phillies from taking advantage of any late opening.
Philadelphia’s relievers were also effective after the fourth inning. Their scoreless work reduced the final damage, but the offense had no answer.
The game therefore involved two different kinds of success: Milwaukee combined early offense with effective pitching, while Philadelphia’s relief staff prevented further damage without receiving the offensive support needed to change the result.
Series Context: How Milwaukee Won Two of Three Games
The June 14 contest was the third game of the series between Philadelphia and Milwaukee. The Brewers won the series 2-1 after taking the opening game, losing the second, and winning the finale.
| Game | Result | Winner |
| Game 1 | Brewers 6, Phillies 0 | Milwaukee |
| Game 2 | Phillies 9, Brewers 8 | Philadelphia |
| Game 3 | Brewers 4, Phillies 0 | Milwaukee |
The series featured two shutouts for Milwaukee, with Philadelphia’s nine-run performance in Game 2 providing its only victory. The supplied results show that the Phillies could produce a much more productive offensive performance in the series, even though they were unable to score in the first and third games.
Across the three games, Milwaukee scored 18 runs and Philadelphia scored nine. Those totals come from the supplied game results: Milwaukee scored six, eight, and four runs, while Philadelphia scored zero, nine, and zero.
The series therefore finished with Milwaukee holding a nine-run advantage in total scoring. That difference does not mean every game was one-sided: the 9-8 result in Game 2 was close, and the finale remained a one-run game until Perkins’ fourth-inning home run.
The series also highlights the value of consistency. Philadelphia’s nine-run outburst showed its scoring potential, but Milwaukee won two games by controlling the opposition’s offense and delivering power at critical moments.
How to Read MLB Player Statistics Correctly
For readers reviewing a box score, a few principles help separate meaningful conclusions from overinterpretation.
Understand the difference between AB and plate appearances
At-bats exclude certain plate appearances, including walks and some other outcomes. That is why a player’s at-bat total does not always equal the number of times he came to the plate.
In this game, Vaughn recorded three at-bats and one walk. The walk gave him a plate appearance without adding an at-bat.
Separate batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage
These three figures measure different aspects of a hitter’s production:
- Batting average (AVG): The proportion of at-bats that result in hits.
- On-base percentage (OBP): How often a player reaches base through hits, walks, hit-by-pitches, and other qualifying outcomes.
- Slugging percentage (SLG): Total bases per at-bat, reflecting the value of extra-base hits as well as singles.
A hitter can have a strong slugging percentage while posting a lower batting average because extra-base hits contribute more total bases. Likewise, on-base percentage can exceed batting average because walks and hit-by-pitches can put a player on base without producing a hit.
Interpret innings pitched carefully
Baseball uses thirds of an inning in pitching statistics. A notation of 5.2 innings means five innings and two outs in the sixth, not 5.2 decimal innings.
Similarly, 5.2 plus 2.1 innings equals eight innings and three outs, or nine innings in total. This explains why Sánchez’s 5.2 innings and Shugart’s 1.1 innings combine with Banks’ one inning to account for Philadelphia’s eight innings of pitching.
Distinguish earned runs from total runs
An earned run is a run charged to the pitcher that is not considered the result of a fielding error or passed ball under the official scoring rules. Total runs and earned runs can differ.
In this game, the supplied Brewers pitching totals show four runs and four earned runs charged to Philadelphia’s pitching staff. Milwaukee’s pitchers allowed no runs, so the earned-run distinction does not change the final shutout result.
Use season statistics as context, not as a game summary
The season batting averages and on-base percentages listed for players provide a broader reference point. They are not substitutes for the actual performance in this matchup.
For example, Marsh’s listed .322 batting average does not change his 0-for-4 line on June 14. Similarly, Perkins’ listed .133 batting average does not diminish his two hits and three RBIs in this game.
A careful analysis uses both levels of information: the game line explains what happened that day, while the season line helps place that performance in context.
Official Box Score and Reliable Game Information
For readers who want to verify the scoring sequence, batting lines, and pitching totals, the ESPN Australia official box score provides the primary reference for this matchup.
The box score is the appropriate starting point for confirming player statistics and the final result. Game recaps and play-by-play records can provide additional context about the sequence of scoring events.
When using a box score for sports reporting, it is also important to distinguish official game figures from calculations made for an article. The .303 and .129 team batting averages discussed above are calculated from the supplied hits and at-bats, while the individual batting averages, on-base percentages, and slugging percentages are the figures supplied for the players.
