Behind all that drama, it was Brandon Woodruff who took the ball and labored through 5 2/3 innings in game one, although at the end of the night, it was Garett Mitchell and the pesky Brewers' offense who broke through late to pick Woody up. Garett Mitchell’s go-ahead knock Game 11 | Red Sox 3, Brewers 2 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (5.1 IP, 2 H, 4 BB, 3 ER, 10 K) Top Performers: DL Hall (2.1 IP, H, BB, 0 ER, K) Gary Sánchez (H, BB) Tuesday’s contest saw Jacob Misiorowski earn his third start of the young season, and for Misiorowski, it was two different tales smashed into one. The first five innings of the game were flat-out dominant, as the young righty recorded 10 strikeouts and kept Boston off the scoreboard. In the sixth, though, he lost all command. Misiorowski only recorded one out, walked three, and left the game only to see all three of those runners come around to score. That would be all Boston needed, as behind the Miz, things didn’t fare much better. Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet quieted the Brewers' offense, twirling 6.1 innings of two-run ball. Misiorowski’s 10 K’s Game 12 | Red Sox 5, Brewers 0 MIL Starter: Shane Drohan (2.2 IP, 3 H, 4 BB, 3 ER, 2 K) Top Performers: Grant Anderson (1.1 IP, 0 H, 2 BB, 0 ER, K) Aaron Ashby (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 2 K) The offense stayed cold for Wednesday’s rubber match, as another old foe in Sonny Gray shut down the Milwaukee offense. That spoiled the major league debut of Shane Drohan, who, after two solid innings, found himself in a similar situation as Misiorowski the night before; walking multiple batters and exiting the game without finishing the inning he started. Garett Mitchell’s tumbling grab Game 13 | Nationals 7, Brewers 3 MIL Starter: Aaron Ashby (2.0 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Jake Bauers (2 H, BB, HR, 3 RBI) Aaron Ashby and Chad Patrick were the opener/bulk pairing for the Brewers in the series opener against Washington, a move that saw Ashby surrender two early runs and Patrick twirl three scoreless innings behind him. It seemed as if the ploy for Pat Murphy had worked, but a late implosion at the hands of Trevor Megill blew what was a small lead from a struggling offense. Jake Bauers’ 3-run home run (+26.5 WPA%) Game 14 | Nationals 3, Brewers 1 MIL Starter: Kyle Harrison (4.1 IP, 4 H, BB, 2 ER, K) Top Performers: William Contreras (H, HR, RBI) The Brewer bats remained cold into the weekend, as Nat’s starter Foster Griffin allowed just one hit in his stringent effort against the Crew, while Milwaukee starter Kyle Harrison battled through an early injury scare in his 4.1 innings of work. Unfortunately, his gutsy outing wasn’t rewarded, as it wasn’t until the 9th inning that the Brewers managed to scrape across a run, and by then, their last rally fell short. William Contreras’ solo homer (+5.2 WP%) Game 15 | Nationals 8, Brewers 6 MIL Starter: Brandon Woodruff (6.0 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 6 K) Top Performers: Brice Turang (3 H, BB, 2 HR, 2 RBI) Gary Sánchez (H, HR, 3 RBI) Jake Bauers (2 H, HR, RBI) It was the bullpen's turn to spoil a win in Milwaukee, as on Sunday, a quality start from Brandon Woodruff was squandered by the pesky Nationals, scoring six runs late. On the offensive side, there were some signs of life, though, as Brice Turang recorded the Brewers' first multi-homer game of the season, and both Gary Sanchez and Jake Bauers went deep as well. Turang's second homer of the day (+15.0 WP%) Transactions: 04/10/26 - Recalled RHP Easton McGee from AAA Nashville. 04/09/26 - Signed free agent RHP Reiss Knehr to a minor league contract. 04/09/26 - Optioned LHP Shane Drohan to AAA Nashville. 04/08/26 - Traded RF Steward Berroa to Philadelphia Phillies for cash. 04/06/26 - Placed LHP Jared Koenig on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow sprain. (Retroactive to April 5, 2026) 04/06/26 - Recalled LHP Shane Drohan from AAA Nashville. Notes Christian Yelich left Sunday’s game with left hamstring tightness. His status for the future is currently unknown, although manager Pat Murphy was not optimistic about Yelich avoiding an injury. Both Brand Sproat and Kyle Harrison were being evaluated for Knee injuries after Saturday's game; however, it seems both have avoided any major injury.

His offense couldn’t muster much against old NL Central foe Nick Martinez, however, as a 2-run home run off the bat of William Contreras was the only runs Milwaukee could scrape across against a stringent Rays staff, while the Brewers bullpen found their first hiccup of the young season, as Trevor Megill was charged with the loss by surrendering the go-ahead run in the 9th. William Contreras’ two-run home run (+23.6 WP%) Game 5 | Brewers 6, Rays 2 MIL Starter: Brandon Woodruff (5.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 6 K) Top Performers: Gary Sánchez (H, BB, HR, RBI) Jake Bauers (2 H, HR, RBI) Brandon Lockridge (2 H, 2B, RBI) Game two of the series against Tampa Bay saw a marquee pitching matchup between Brandon Woodruff and Shane McClanahan. Luckily for the Brewers, it was Woody who got the better of his counterpart, tossing five innings of two-run ball. On the other side, McClanahan was effective through four innings, but a three-run fifth from the Milwaukee offense chased him from the game. They’d add two more runs in the next innings, as well as one in the eighth, and the bullpen put up a zero behind Brandon Woodruff to secure a 6-2 Milwaukee win. Gary Sánchez's solo home run (+11.9 WP%) Game 6 | Brewers 8, Rays 2 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (6.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K) Top Performers: Brice Turang (H, BB, HR 2 RBI) Christian Yelich (2 H, 2 RBI) Garrett Mitchell (2 H, 2B, 2 RBI) Jacob Misiorowski took the mound for his second start of the season and did little more than pick up where he left off on Opening Day. The Miz provided six innings of two-run ball for the Crew, and while it wasn’t until the eighth inning that the Brewers' bats finally broke through for their first big inning of the series, the six-run explosion off Griffin Jax was more than enough to propel Milwaukee to its second straight series win. Brice Turang’s two-run home run (+18.1 WP%) Game 7 | Brewers 5, Royals 2 MIL Starter: Chad Patrick (4.0 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 3 K) Top Performers: Garrett Mitchell (2 H, 2B, HR, 5 RBI) Abner Uribe (1.1 IP, 0 ER, K) Trevor Megill (1.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, SV) While it was Chad Patrick who ended his day with a scoreless outing, Garrett Mitchell stole the show in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader by knocking in a career-high five runs. Both came early into the game, with a two-run double in the 1st, and a three-run home run in the 3rd. It would be all the offense the Brewers needed, as then, the backend of the ‘pen closed the daycap out. Garett Mitchell’s Five RBI Game 8 | Royals 8, Brewers 2 MIL Starter: Logan Henderson (2.0 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, BB, 3 K) Top Performers: Brice Turang (H, 3B, RBI) Garett Mitchell (H, 2B, RBI) DL Hall (2.0 IP, 0 ER, H, BB, 2 K) The Saturday nightcap saw the Royals even the series by getting to a pair of young Brewers pitchers, with both Logan Henderson and his piggyback Brandon Sporat surrendering multiple runs. On the offensive side, the Kansas City trio of Seth Lugo, Nick Mears, and Eli Morgan kept the Brewers bats to just two runs on five hits, and used a six-run sixth inning to send the series to a Sunday rubber match. Gary Sánchez throws out Maikel Garcia Game 9 | Brewers 8, Royals 5 MIL Starter: Kyle Harrison (5.1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K) Top Performers: William Contreras (2 H, 2B, 2 BB, 2 RBI) Gary Sánchez (H, HR, RBI) Christian Yelich (2 H, 2B, 3B, RBI) Sunday's rubber match in Kansas City featured Kyle Harrison's second consecutive quality start in a Brewer uniform, as the Brewer hurler tossed 5.1 innings of two-run ball. Meanwhile, Gary Sánchez popped his team-leading third home run of the year, and William Contreras reached base safely four times in a six-run effort, while the bullpen navigated some late-inning trouble to close out the series against the Royals 8-5. Gary Sánchez's two-run homer (+15.4 WP%) Transactions: 04/05/26 - Optioned RHP Logan Henderson to AAA Nashville Sounds. 04/04/26 - Recalled RHP Logan Henderson from Nashville Sounds. 04/04/26 - LHP Sammy Peralta was claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies. 04/03/26 - Designated RF Steward Berroa for assignment. 04/03/26 - Selected the contract of SS Cooper Pratt from AAA Nashville. 04/03/26 - Optioned SS Cooper Pratt to Nashville Sounds. 03/31/26 - Activated RF Luis Matos. 03/31/26 - Sent LHP Rob Zastryzny on a rehab assignment to AAA Nashville 03/31/26 - Optioned C Jeferson Quero to AAA Nashville. 03/30/26 - Designated LHP Sammy Peralta for assignment. 03/30/26 - Acquired RF Luis Matos from the San Francisco Giants for cash. Notes: RHP Logan Henderson served as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader. It was reported early last week that SS Cooper Pratt is set to sign a $50.75 million extension.

No corresponding move followed Sunday, although Frelick did not play in the series finale.

Image courtesy of © Benny Sieu-Imagn Images Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 3-0 (Overall: 3-0) Run Scored Last Week: 29 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 10 Standing: 1st in NL Central (1.0 GA STL & CIN) *** Game 1 (3/26) | MIL 14, CHW 2 Game 2 (3/28) | MIL 6, CHW 1 Game 3 (3/29) | MIL 9, CHW 7 *** Game 1 | Brewers 14, White Sox 2 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (5.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 11 K) Top Performers: Jake Bauers (2 H, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI) Joey Ortiz (2 H, 2 R, 2 RBI) Sal Frelick (H, HR, 2 BB) The Brewers opened their 2026 campaign on Thursday by handing the ball to Jacob Misiorowski, who, despite surrendering a leadoff homerun to Chase Meidroth, rewarded the club’s decision by breaking franchise records. His 11 punchouts of White Sox hitters set a new franchise watermark for strikeouts on Opening Day, while the team behind him lit up the scoresheet by tallying 12 hits and drawing 10 walks in a 14-run outburst. William Contreras’ bases-clearing double (+23 WP%) Game 2 | Brewers 6, White Sox 1 MIL Starter: Chad Patrick (4.1 IP, 5H, 1 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Brice Turang (3 H, 2 R, 2 2B) Christian Yelich (3 H, R, RBI) Garrett Mitchell (2 H, R, 2 RBI) Chad Patrick took the ball on Saturday, and despite not putting up the numbers Misiorowski did in the game previous, his 4.1 innings of one-run ball were more than enough to propel the Brewers to their second straight victory. On the offensive side, the Brewers played small ball, tallying up 12 more hits, with only two going for extra bases, and stealing 7 bases. Garrett Mitchell’s 2-run single (+8.7 WP%) Game 3 | Brewers 9, White Sox 7 MIL Starter: Brandon Sproat (3.0 IP, 6 H, 3 BB, 7 ER, 3 K) Top Performers: Christian Yelich (H, HR, 3 RBI) Gary Sánchez (2 H, HR, 2 RBI) Brewers Bullpen (Combined: 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 9 K) Sunday's series finale against the South Siders didn't have the start the Brewers might've imagined, with White Sox SS Colson Montgomery rudely greeting Milwaukee starter Brandon Sproat with a first-inning grand slam. Sproat never recovered, allowing three more runs and finishing his day with just three innings of work, exiting with the Sox up 7-2. The Brewers bullpen held the game there, though, and finally, in the eighth, the Brewers broke through. An RBI single from Brice Turang brought the game within three, and shortly after, Luis Rengifo's first Brewers hit brought the game within one. Sensing the moment, skipper Pat Murphy summoned Christian Yelich to pinch hit, who responded with a go-ahead three-run homer to cap the six-run 8th, and put Milwaukee up for good. Trevor Megill then capped the excellent day for the bullpen with a save in the 9th, and with that, the Brewers wrapped up their opening weekend with a sweep of the White Sox. Christian Yelich's go-ahead pinch-hit home run (+62 WP%) Transactions: 03/28/26 - Placed 1B Andrew Vaughn on the 10-day injured list with a left hamate fracture. (Retroactive to March 27, 2026) 03/28/26 - Recalled C Jeferson Quero from AAA Nashville. 03/26/26 - Placed CF Jackson Chourio on the 10-day injured list with a left hand fracture. (Retroactive to March 25, 2026) 03/26/26 - Recalled CF Blake Perkins from AAA Nashville. Notes: Jackson Chourio’s injury stems from an exhibition game while playing for Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. The team's estimate is that Chourio will miss 2-4 weeks. Blake Perkins took the place of Chourio on the roster. Andrew Vaughn’s hand fracture occurred on Opening Day. Milwaukee expects Vaughn to miss 4-6 weeks while he recovers. Jefferson Quero’s recall was the corresponding move to Vaughn’s injury, with Gary Sánchez and Jake Bauers being expected to fill time at 1B while Vaughn recovers.

Breakdown / Highlights To say the Brewers coasted into October would be putting it lightly. Their own manager even admitted to “trying things,” so across from two teams playing for more than themselves, Milwaukee floundered a bit heading into the postseason. It all started in San Diego, with an 11-inning loss on Monday. Freddy Peralta was on the mound for the Brewers, pitching five strong innings, surrendering two runs, and striking out six. A collection of six relievers followed, leading up to Grant Anderson’s 11th inning, where San Diego finally walked it off. If the offense was quiet in game one, game two saw the group go silent. Bruce Zimmerman was tasked with making an emergency start, of sorts, and was a victim of a hot Padres offense early. Ryan O’Hearn hit a first-inning grand slam off the veteran, and the Friars added two more runs in the second before he settled in and gave the Crew six innings. On the other side, Randy Vásquez tossed 7 scoreless innings, giving up only a single Brewers hit. The bullpens on both sides gave up a few hits after the starters exited, but nothing much changed, leading to a 7-0 Padres win. The Brewers salvaged a game on Wednesday, behind a game pieced together by Chad Patrick and the bullpen. Patrick twirled three brilliant innings, striking out six and putting up a zero, while Erick Fedde followed in long relief, throwing 2 2/3 innings and surrendering the sole Padres run. The trio of Nick Mears, Jared Koenig, and Abner Uribe would close the game, following a go-ahead 7th-inning single from Brice Turang. Danny Jansen added a solo homer in the 9th for insurance, and Milwaukee won 3-1. Last week may not have been pretty, but ending on a high note bodes well for the future to come. For the final home series of the regular year, Milwaukee was up against a Reds team playing for the final Wild Card slot, and it showed. With the 1-seed officially being wrapped up with a Phillies loss before Saturday’s game concluded, there was nothing to play for. Perhaps most noteworthy was some continued offensive mediocrity, or the Robert Gasser/Jacob Misorowski duo getting blown up on Saturday. The final game of the season ended as it started, with Freddy Peratla on the mound. Despite two solo home runs, a mini-breakthrough for the offense in the 4th inning put the Brewers ahead for good. With the win, the 2025 Brewers are now the franchise's winningest team.

Already eliminated from playoff contention, Los Angeles played like they weren’t playing for much. They’d muster only two runs in each of the three games, while Milwaukee scored nine twice, and five in the final. Andrew Vaughn and Jake Bauers both had great series in that one, and Freddy Peralta, Quinn Pirester, and Brandon Woodruff picked up wins. On to St. Louis with a dwindling magic number, the Cubs took care of business for the Brewers, who only managed to win one of the games. Meanwhile, Chicago was swept at the hands of Cincinnati, so despite a loss on Sunday, the Brewers celebrated their 3rd straight NL division title in St. Louis. Perhaps, though, that came with a bit of a sour note, as over those last couple of days, Milwaukee lost both Brandon Woodruff and Jose Quintana to injuries, putting their postseason availability into question.

Breakdown / Highlights Milwaukee kicked off their week by heading to the Lone Star State to take on the Rangers. Jose Quintana took the mound for game one across from Texas starter Jacob Latz, who proceeded to outduel the Brewers’ veteran lefty. In fact, the Brewers offense was unable to scrape anything across the Rangers staff in general, while a four-run fourth inning off of Quintana gave the AL Wild Card hopefuls all they needed to take the series opener. Chad Patrick was asked to be the stopper in game two, but once again, Texas found a way to keep their train rolling. That came despite Milwaukee chasing Jack Leiter in the fifth inning and a late home run from Jake Bauers, resulting in a Brewers loss, 5-4. For the first time since opening weekend, the Brewers were swept in a series on Wednesday. Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio went back-to-back off Merrill Kelly to start the game, but Rangers first baseman Jake Burger taxed Freddy Peralta with two homers of his own, so despite out-hitting the Rangers 11 to 6, Milwaukee fell 6-3. A more familiar foe (the desperate and fading Cardinals) came to town for a three-game set to finish the week, and they were welcomed rudely by a Brewers team looking to bounce back. Naturally, stopper Quinn Priester toed the slab to record another win in that one; the final was 8-2. Heading into the game on Saturday, the Brewers received the news that they'd clinched a playoff spot. With that in mind, a thriller took place in front of a national audience, as Milwaukee was determined to celebrate with a win. Early on, though, Sonny Gray and the Cardinals had the Brewers' number. They jumped out to an early 6-1 lead, but as they've done all season, Murph's Marauders started pecking away. Eventually, the comeback was completed in the 9th, as the Brewers scored three to tie the game. Despite the team giving up another run in the 10th, Andruw Monasterio was the hero, driving in Caleb Durbin to win the game after Durbin himself had tied it. On Sunday, the Cards once again jumped out to an early lead. Quintana would settle in, though, and once again, Milwaukee began to pick away at a lead. Solo homers from Durbin and Danny Jansen got Milwaukee within one. This time, the Cardinals' bullpen held, though, and the Brewers lost 3-2.

Breakdown / Highlights Monday marked the final game before Milwaukee had its first scheduled off day in over two weeks, but it also began a series between two of the best teams in the National League. It was the Phillies that were swept at the hands of the Brewers the last time the two teams met, and on Labor Day, they knocked off the Crew for the first time. It was a slugfest, as despite an early 5-0 Milwaukee lead, the Phils stormed back for a 10-8 win after beating up on the Brewers' pen. After the much-needed rest day on Tuesday, the Brewers evened the series. Jose Quintana turned in another efficient start in Brewers blue, hurling 6.1 innings and allowing 3 runs. That was enough for the Brewer offense, which plated five runners in the first with recording an out. Philadelphia then won the penultimate game on Thursday, getting shut down by Ranger Suarez and the Phillies' bullpen. The final score in that game was 2-0. Onto Pittsburgh, the Brewers found themselves with Quinn Priester toeing the slab for game one. And like they’ve done in his past 17 appearances, Milwaukee found a way to win. Jake Bauers drove in the 2 runs for the lead in the sixth, and some insurance late in the game led to a 5-2 final. The Brewers captured the series on Saturday, as once again Jake Bauers provided a 2-run spark, this time with a homer. Jackson Chourio added a 2-run blast of his own, and on the pitching side, Brandoon Woodruff dazzled. Woody went six innings of scoreless baseball, striking out eight and picking up the win. On Sunday, two highly hyped pitching prospects dueled. The Miz, naturally, was on the bump for the Brewers, while Bubba Chandler took the mound for the Pirates. Unfortunately for Chandler, an offensive explosion happened in front of him. Milwaukee teed off on the young pitcher, tallying 10 runs in the 10-2 victory.
