Brewers Minor League Link Report (4/17): Wilson Fans Experience a Sweet Walk-Off Win

Transactions:

• Milwaukee Brewers optioned RHP Easton McGee to Nashville Sounds.
• Milwaukee Brewers recalled RHP Coleman Crow from Nashville Sounds.
• Nashville Sounds placed 3B Luke Adams on the 7-day injured list retroactive to April 15, 2026.
• Nashville Sounds activated SS Ethan Murray from the 7-day injured list.

We are not aware of the nature of Adams' injury, but the fact his stint is backdated is hopeful.

Sounds Sweep WooSox on Friday for 3,500 Franchise Wins 

Between the game notes and the summary, so many tidbits. Who knew it would be until the nightcap (Game 18) before Manager Rick Sweet called for a pinch-hitter? As always, you'll want to review those links above.

Brock Wilken is now 6-for-54 but reached base in six of his seven plate appearances Friday and would you have guessed he leads the Sounds in RBI (another game summary tidbit).

The view of home plate is cloudy, but the outfield grass is clear:

For additional videos from the opener:

Jacob Hurtubise RBI single

It's primarily a "veteran" pitching staff in Nashville, and the four arms here go the job done, as the Game One box score will reveal.

As for the nightcap, LHP Tate Kuehner is one of the young pups among the Sounds arms in his age 25 season, which is going swimmingly thus far:

Luis Lara shifted to right field in Game Two to allow Jett Williams to play center. Wish the camera work was a bit better here, but Lara seems comfortable in the corner spot as well:

Cooper Pratt was 1-for-8 combined (single) but is now 6-for-6 in stolen base attempts.

More video, and nice to see the Sounds "X" admin is carrying over the "pun fun" from 2025.

Wilken's Game One double was the lone Nashville XBH on the night, 14 singles otherwise.

Congratulations on the fine MLB debut, Coleman Crow!

Postponed: Peoria (Cardinals) at Wisconsin

Kudos to the Timber Rattlers for being able to fight to a 7-4 record given the very daunting nature (pun intended) of the weather conditions this month. Thankfully, the Midwest League scheduled another visit by Peoria within the first half of the schedule, and this game will be made up as part of a Wednesday afternoon doubleheader on May 27th.

Lameda’s Walk-Off Home Run Powers Wilson to Victory - Warbirds Hit two long-balls in win

Jose Anderson has 21 home runs in 152 career games - considering he only turned 19 years old last November, that's impressive.

You'll notice on Wilson home game highlights that there's no score bug (yet). Voice of the Warbirds Chris Edwards tells us it's on its way, just some technical issues to work out.

Awesome moment for 20-year-old Luis Lameda, who was on base in all four trips in this one. Happy for him, the boys, and the fans, including yours truly, who caught this moment live.

A little surprised we don't have a more traditional video of the walk-off winner; however, a reminder we're spoiled overall in terms of what we get across the landscape.

Filippo Di Turi sacrifice fly

20-year-old RHP Jarrette Bonet has now fanned 18 in 11.2 innings (six walks, 3.18 ERA). Nice work through three starts.

Warbirds aren't going to light up the hit column often, and in fact, had only six knocks here. Eight walks drawn helped.

Roster oddity - no Wilson transactions since the Opening Night roster was set on April 3rd.

The Timber Rattlers have a 1:10 CT matinee on tap Saturday. The rest of the action falls in nicely after the big-league Brewers late-afternoon contest. Enjoy your Saturday!
