The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Oakland Athletics 29-9 in a wild game marking the start of the Athletics' homestand in Las Vegas. The two teams combined for 11 home runs in what became one of the highest-scoring games of the season.
The contest took place as the Athletics returned to Las Vegas, where they had played 30 years ago. The game featured an offensive explosion from both sides, with the Brewers ultimately pulling away despite the Athletics hitting six home runs of their own.
The 29 runs scored by Milwaukee represented a season high for the team. The Athletics' six home runs were not enough to keep pace with the Brewers' offensive output in a game where pitching struggled on both sides.
The game served as the opening contest of the Athletics' current homestand in Las Vegas. The Athletics had been away from the city for three decades before this series began.
The final score of 29-9 made this one of the most lopsided high-scoring games of the season. Both teams will look to recalibrate their pitching staffs after the offensive showcase that saw 38 total runs scored between the two clubs.
