Brewers Blitz Nola Early, Beat Phillies 6-3 to Clinch Season Series

The win clinched the season-series tiebreaker for Milwaukee, strengthening its NL Central lead.

Overview

  • Milwaukee plated five runs before an out in the first inning, capped by Isaac Collins’ three-run homer after Sal Frelick’s RBI single and a misplay in center.
  • José Quintana held Philadelphia to three runs over 6 1/3 innings with six strikeouts, departing after a 444-foot two-run homer by Weston Wilson in the seventh.
  • Aaron Nola’s struggles persisted as he allowed five runs before recording an out and six across five innings, continuing a trend of damaging early frames since his IL return.
  • Milwaukee’s bullpen navigated late threats, with Aaron Ashby and Abner Uribe stranding key runners and Jared Koenig logging a scoreless ninth for his first career save.
  • The Brewers widened their NL Central lead to six games and secured the head-to-head tiebreaker, while the Phillies remained 5.5 games up in the NL East; earlier, Milwaukee placed reliever Shelby Miller on the 60-day IL with a UCL sprain.
