The Milwaukee Brewers were able to snap their three-game losing streak on Sunday with a 9-4 win over the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta. 

The Brewers still lost the series to Atlanta, but they were able to salvage the end of it with a win after falling by only one point in their first two games against the Braves. So, what was the one thing that made them effective on Sunday?

During its losing streak, Milwaukee’s offense was not converting. 

Over the three losses, the Brewers went 24-for-100 at the plate, and their best game of the skid came in the middle when they lost Friday’s series opener to the Braves 3-2, despite notching 11 hits in 36 at-bats. Even after hitting .240 collectively during that stretch, Milwaukee managed just seven runs.

On Sunday, that all changed, and the Brewers scored more in one inning than they did in the three aforementioned games combined.

After falling behind 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning, the Brewers began relentlessly attacking Braves starter Bryce Elder and the Atlanta defense in the top of the second. The frame began with consecutive singles by William Contreras and Jake Bauers before Garrett Mitchell grounded out.

Then, Sal Frelick hit a two-run double to left field to give Milwaukee an early 2-1 lead. Subsequently, rookie Cooper Pratt grounded out, and the Brewers were able to score six more runs with only one out to work with.

David Hamilton hit an RBI double to center field that scored Frelick and made it a 3-1 game. Then, Christian Yelich walked, and Jackson Chourio hit an RBI single to extend Milwaukee’s lead to 4-1. 

Brice Turang then delivered an RBI single of his own that scored Yelich, and Contreras returned to the dish to cap off the eight-run inning with a three-run home run to left field, his seventh home run of the season.

The Brewers have made a habit of scoring in bunches during one frame, and their offense returned to life early in Sunday's contest. Milwaukee had seven hits in the second inning alone, and though it only scored one run the rest of the way, that is all that would be needed.

The Brewers' road trip will continue against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday when they visit them for a three-game series. If Milwaukee’s offense can use Sunday’s performance as momentum, then more wins might be coming for the third-best team in Major League Baseball.
