Padres (Pivetta) vs Brewers (May): 10/6/26, 8:30pm

[Frisbee Slider]

The best team in baseball takes on the hottest team in baseball™ in Game 3 at Petco Park. A Brewers win advances Milwaukee to the NLCS.

Nick Pivetta has a 1.64 ERA in five starts since returning from IL in September. All September starts were 5 IP or less.

Dustin May has been excellent against San Diego this season. 1.23 ERA against the Padres in 2026 spanning three starts.

Not pictured: Walker Buehler returned to the active roster and is presumably available for multiple innings.

Hard to believe but the Brewers have not won a playoff game on the road since Game 3 of the 2018 NLCS in Los Angeles. Time for that to end tonight.

Gonna be a long day. 13 hours to first pitch

Let's get up early by a nice 5 run margin, let May have a good day and go 5 or 6 before turning it over to the B side of the pen.

There's just no rest in a playoff run. I still feel like the series completely turns if we don't get this one and then just feel certain it will go back to MKE which I just want no part of.
