The diamond fills teal when the run scores; the out lands in the box of the runner it was made on. Names link to their pages at www.feverbaseball.com. New to the marks? The primer scores a full inning from scratch. Every pitch under these marks is typed, clocked and located off the same official feed. A hand-scorer could record what happened; nobody could record the pitch that did it.

Shota Imanaga gave up 8 earned in 4.1 innings — 9 hits, 3 walks, 2 strikeouts, out before the 5th ended. Jake Bauers hit a 3-run homer off him, his 7th, and Milwaukee had 8 runs before the Cubs' bullpen entered. Chicago cut it to 8-3 on Dansby Swanson's 2-run shot and Michael Busch's RBI double, both in the 5th, and never got closer. Shane Drohan came on and threw 4.1 innings without a hit — 5 strikeouts on 42 pitches, 34 for strikes. Brandon Sproat started for Milwaukee and left with the lead, 78 pitches in 4.2 innings, and Drohan made it stand. Christian Yelich homered in the 2nd and doubled in the 6th.
