In a tightly contested game, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1 on Friday, driven by Rhys Hoskins' two-run home run in the fourth inning. This victory marked an important moment for Hoskins, who has struggled recently with a .133 batting average in September but managed to hit his 24th homer of the season. Freddy Peralta pitched five innings, allowing one run on six hits, while the Brewers' bullpen combined for four scoreless innings, securing the win and extending their NL Central lead to 10 games. The Diamondbacks, despite the loss, remain in contention for the NL wild-card spot. Eduardo Rodriguez took the loss for Arizona, allowing two runs in five innings. The two teams will face off again on Saturday night.
