Brewer reliever Josh Hader pulled out four of his two innings without scoring in his first appearance since Hader's racist and homophobic tweets surfaced during the All-Star game. Hader, who apologized for several years of social media posts, received a standing ovation from the crowd after his introduction, with many fans at Miller Park.

Hader highlighted five rounds of Milwaukee. Knebel provoked some nervous moments in ninth place.
