Meanwhile, the offense was driven by Joey Ortiz’s continued hot streak, as the Brewers third baseman drove in a pair and recorded a three-hit day. Jacob Misiorowski’s scoreless outing Game 152 | Brewers 5, Pirates 4 MIL Starter: Logan Henderson (5.0 IP, 6 H, BB, 3 ER, 8 K) Top Performers: Cooper Pratt (2 H, RBI) Christian Yelich (H, 2 RBI) Jake Bauers (H, 2B, 2 BB) The Brewers captured the series behind Logan Henderson on Wednesday, besting Jared Jones and the Pirates bullpen—despite a slight slip-up from JoJo Romero after Henderson’s exit. Christian Yelich’s 2-run single (+23.6 WP%) Game 153 | Pirates 7, Brewers 4 MIL Starter: Kyle Harrison (1.2 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 4 ER, 2 K) Top Performers: Bo Naylor (H, HR, 2 RBI) The Pirates salvaged the final game of the series, as Kyle Harrison’s dreadful stretch continued, and the Brewers offense was unable to dig out of the early deficit. The Crew fell 7-4, dropping the season series in the process. Bo Naylor’s first Brewers home run (+8.5 WP%) Game 154 | Brewers 6, Orioles 5 MIL Starter: Dustin May (2.1 IP, 6 H, BB, 3 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Shane Drohan (1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, BB, 2 K) DL Hall (2.0 IP, H, BB, 0 ER, 2 K) Jackson Chourio (2 H, BB, HR, 3 RBI) Dustin May mirrored Harrison’s struggles as the team meandered from Pittsburgh to Baltimore. However, the Brewers were able to pick up a struggling starter this time around. This included not only a strong offensive day from Jackson Chourio, but strong relief outings from Shane Drohan and DL Hall—as well as Chad Patrick closing out the game in the 10th. William Contreras’ go-ahead double (+35.2 WP%) Game 155 | Brewers 1, Orioles 0 MIL Starter: Robert Gasser (7.0 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 0 ER, 2 K) Top Performers: Joey Ortiz (H, 3B) Aaron Ashby (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, K, SV) Robert Gasser was having none of the trend of short starts. In a Saturday game in which Pat Murphy was eager to let it ride, Gasser turned in the best start of his career in a pitchers' duel against the O’s Trevor Rogers. In fact, it was a defensive miscue in the 2nd inning that doomed the home team, as it turned into a Joey Ortiz triple. Ortiz trotted home on a Gary Sánchez groundout for the game’s sole run. Gasser fuels Brewers with 7 strong Game 156 | Brewers 3, Orioles 0 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (3.0 IP, H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Cooper Pratt (2 H, BB, 2 RBI, 2 SB) JoJo Romero (1.2 IP, H, 0 BB, 0 ER, K) DL Hall (1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 2 K) The Brewers completed the sweep on Sunday, marking a franchise-record 98 wins, and they did it behind Jacob Misiorowski. With the bat, Cooper Pratt drove in a pair (and stole a pair of bags), while Jackson Chourio polished off his third consecutive 20/20 season by swiping a bag of his own. Wild Bill goes deep (+10.6 WP%) Transactions: 09/19/26 - Sent LHP Rob Zastryzny outright to Nashville Sounds. 09/18/26 - Optioned RHP Garrett Stallings to Nashville Sounds. 09/18/26 - Recalled LHP Colton Gordon from Nashville Sounds. 09/17/26 - Designated LHP Rob Zastryzny for assignment. 09/16/26 - Sent RHP Grant Anderson on a rehab assignment to Nashville Sounds.

The first matchup in that set saw Robert Gasser match up with Matthew Boyd at American Family Field. The Cubs twirler was dominant early, getting through seven innings of one-run ball. Craig Counsell rolled Boyd back out for the eighth—a decision that would be costly, as Boyd left without recording an out in the frame. Instead, he left two runners on base, whom the Brewers cashed in against the Chicago bullpen. The Crew held on to win from there, thanks in no small part to great outfield defense. Luis Lara’s leaping grab (+2.5 WP%) Game 146 | Brewers 4, Cubs 3 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (6.1 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, ER, 9 K) Top Performers: Jackson Chourio (4 H, 2B, HR, 2 RBI) Brice Turang (3 H, BB, 2B, RBI) DL Hall (1.2 IP, 0 H, BB, 0 ER, K) Jacob Misiorowski faced the Cubs for a second consecutive week on Tuesday, and redeemed himself after a rocky outing against Chicago at Wrigley Field. The Brewers' bats were quiet outside of Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio, though, and despite Misiorowski’s strong outing, Chicago carried a 3-1 lead into the 9th. Chicago’s closer Jacob Webb recorded the first two outs of that frame, but a pinch-hit single from Christian Yelich and a game-tying home run from Jackson Chourio sent the game to the 10th, where Luis Lara walked the contest off with a single. Jackson Chourio’s game-tying home run (+49.0 WP%) Game 147 | Brewers 8, Cubs 6 MIL Starter: Logan Henderson (5.0 IP, 2 H, BB, 1 R, 6 K) Top Performers: Jackson Chourio (3 H, HR, 2 RBI) William Contreras (2 H, HR, 3 RBI) Christian Yelich (H, HR, 3 RBI) The Brewers completed their second sweep of the Cubs in 2026 on Wednesday, jumping all over Kevin Gausman. Meanwhile, Logan Henderson was brilliant, only allowing an unearned run in his five innings of work. The large lead would evaporate late, as a Brandon Sporat implosion allowed the Cubs to bring the tying run to the plate in the 9th, but Abner Uribe mopped up the mess and closed out the game. Yeli’s 3-run bomb (+24.1 WP%) Game 148 | Brewers 20, Reds 0 MIL Starter: Dustin May (6.0 IP, 2 H, BB, 0 ER, 6 K) Top Performers: Jackson Chourio (4 H, 2 2B, 2 RBI) Brice Turang (3 H, BB, HR, 4 RBI) William Contreras (2 H, HR, 6 RBI) After an off day on Thursday, the Reds were in town on Friday with Dustin May on the slab to oppose them. May was brilliant, throwing six scoreless innings, but it was the Brewers' bats who stole headlines by hanging 20 runs on the Reds, highlighted by another 4-hit day from Chourio and six RBIs from William Contreras. With the win, Milwaukee secured their eighth playoff berth in nine years—no small feat, but not the prize on which this club is now focused. Luis Lara’s home run robbery (+0.1 WP%) Game 149 | Brewers 13, Reds 9 MIL Starter: Shane Drohan (3.2 IP, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Garett Mitchell (4 H, 2B, HR, 4 RBI) Cooper Pratt (3 H, 2B, 3 RBI) William Contreras (H, 2 BB, HR, 3 RBI) The bats were not dormant after Friday’s 20-run outburst, as the Brewers put up 13 runs in Saturday’s contest en route to a 13-9 win. Those combined 33 runs over two days totaled a franchise record for any two-game stretch, although that fact did hide poor outings from both Shane Drohan and Kyle Harrison. William Contreras’ 3-run home run (+28.9 WP%) Game 150 | Reds 4, Brewers 3 MIL Starter: Robert Gasser (5.0 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, ER, 5 K) Top Performers: Joey Ortiz (H, HR, 2 RBI) Jake Bauers (H, HR, RBI) JoJo Romero (1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, K) Chase Burns stood in the way of a Brewers sweep on Sunday, and despite a big swings from Jake Bauers and Joey Ortiz, the Reds were able to outlast Gasser and the Brewers bullpen, sneaking out a 4-3 win on Sunday. Joey Ortiz's 2-run homer (+17.7 WP%) Transactions: 09/10/26 - Optioned RHP Brandon Sproat to AAA Nashville. 09/10/26 - Recalled RHP Garrett Stallings from AAA Nashville. 09/09/26 - Sent LHP Rob Zastryzny on a rehab assignment to AAA Nashville. 09/07/26 - Placed RHP Grant Anderson on the 15-day injured list with right bicep inflammation. 09/07/26 - Recalled RHP Brandon Sproat from AAA Nashville.

Quickly, as Harrison’s fastball did not have the velocity or command it has sported most times this season, the game was out of reach. That early large Cubs lead only got worse too, as Andrew Vaughn was tasked with getting six outs in a 17-3 Cubs blowout that saw the Northsiders hit a franchise record nine home runs. Cooper Pratt’s 2-run homer (+0.3 WP%) Game 139 | Brewers 9, Cubs 4 MIL Starter: Robert Gasser (4.1 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 3 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Joey Ortiz (2 H, HR, 2 RBI) Christian Yelich (H, BB, HR, RBI) William Contreras (2 H, BB, 2 2B, RBI) The Brewers bounced back from their ugliest loss of the season behind Robert Gasser, and did so by picking on a struggling Cubs bullpen. Christian Yelich was the man with the big swing in the contest, as he took an inside pitch from Daniel Palenica deep in the sixth to give the Brewers the lead for good. Yelich sends one into the bleachers (+23.1 WP%) Game 140 | Brewers 9, Cubs 5 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (4.0 IP, 5 H, 4 BB, 5 ER, 5 K) Top Performers: Jackson Chourio (4 H, 2B, HR, RBI) Brewers Bullpen (5.0 IP, H, BB, 0 ER, 4 K) The offense picked up an uncharacteristically rough start from Jacob Misiorowski by scoring 9 runs for the second straight night, and did so powered by Jackson Chourio's 4-hit day and clean pitching behind the Miz. Four other Brewers also recorded multi-hit days, with the Brewers winning the Wednesday night contest 9-5. Jackson Chourio’s 4-hit day Game 141 | Cubs 2, Brewers 1 MIL Starter: Logan Henderson (7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 BB, 2 ER, 7 K) Top Performers: Andrew Vaughn (H, HR, RBI) Kevin Gausman and Logan Henderson locked up in a pitcher’s duel in the series finale on Thursday, but it was NL MVP favorite Pete Crow-Armstrong who shifted the tides of the contest, taking a low changeup from Henderson and depositing it into the bleachers in the 3rd inning to give the Cubs their only 2 runs of the game. Andrew Vaughn promptly responded in the 4th with a homer of his own, but with no runners on base, it only cut the deficit in half, and unfortunately, that score of 2-1 would hold, allowing Chicago to split the series. Andrew Vaughn goes yard (+10.2 WP%) Game 142 | Brewers 10, Reds 7 MIL Starter: Shane Drohan (4.0 IP, 5 H, 2 BB, 6 ER, 5 K) Top Performers: Brice Turang (3 H, 2B, 3 RBI) Cooper Pratt (H, BB, 4 RBI) Chad Patrick (2.0 IP, H, 2 BB, 0 ER, K) Runs were back on the menu as the Brewers skipped over to Great American Ballpark to continue their week, with both Shane Drohan and Reds twirler Rhett Lowder finding little success in their four innings of work. The Brewers' pen outdueled Cincinnati the rest of the way, though, and Trevor Megill slammed the door shut in the 9th for a 10-7 Brewers win. Cooper Pratt clears the bases (+28.8 WP%) Game 143 | Reds 5, Brewers 3 MIL Starter: Dustin May (3.2 IP, 5 H, 0 BB, 2 ER, 5 K) Top Performers: Gary Sánchez (2 H, BB, 2B) DL Hall (1.1 IP, 0 H, BB, 0 ER, 3 K) Dustin May’s bounceback was going well before the rain rolled over Ohio on Saturday, sending the contest into a lengthy delay before the 4th inning could be completed. Cincinnati then was the better team once the rain subsided, as they’d tack on four runs while the Brewers stranded a plethora of runners, including leaving the bases loaded in the 9th, to fall 5-3. William Contreras goes yard (+10.0 WP%) Game 144 | Reds 12, Brewers 8 MIL Starter: Kyle Harrison (3.2 IP, 9 H, 4 BB, 6 R, 4 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Brice Turang (2 H, 2 BB, 2B, 3 RBI) Jake Bauers (H, 3 BB, HR, RBI) Grant Anderson (2.2 IP, H, 2 BB, 0 ER, 2 K) Kyle Harrison’s rough patch continued as the Brewers found themselves on the wrong end of a high-scoring affair, falling 12-8 and dropping the rubber match in Cincinnati. Transactions: 09/04/26 - RHP Joel Kuhnel was claimed off waivers by the San Francisco Giants. 09/02/26 - Designated RHP Joel Kuhnel for assignment. 09/01/26 - Activated LHP JoJo Romero from the 15-day injured list. 09/01/26 - Recalled C Bo Naylor from Nashville Sounds. 08/31/26 - Activated RHP Abner Uribe from the 15-day injured list. 08/31/26 - Signed free agent IF Jonathan Ornelas to a minor league contract. 08/31/26 - Placed RHP Bryse Wilson on the 15-day injured list.

The game would come down to the wire, as a pinch-hit game-tying double off the bat of Christian Yelich tied the game in the 9th, but the Brewers would eventually fall in extra innings by the score of 3-2. Christian Yelich’s game-tying double (+37.4 WP%) Game 133 | Brewers 8, Mets 1 MIL Starter: Dustin May (0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER) Top Performers: Robert Gasser (5.1 IP, 6 H, 2 BB, ER, 6 K) Sal Frelick (3 H, BB, 2B, 2 RBI) Brice Turang (H, 2 BB, HR, 3 RBI) The Brewers evened the series on Wednesday despite a one-pitch outing from Dustin May, who exited after being struck with a comebacker on his very first pitch of the game. Robert Gasser picked up the slack behind him, though, turning in 5.1 innings of one-run baseball, while the recently returned Sal Frelick recorded 3 hits en route to the Brewers beating up on Robert Stock and the Mets staff. Brice Turang goes yard (+6.4 WP%) Game 134 | Brewers 8, Mets 2 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (6.0 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 2 ER, 6 K) Top Performers: Jackson Chourio (4 H, 2 HR, 4 RBI) Joey Ortiz (2 H, 3B) DL Hall (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 2 K) The Brewers made it four consecutive series wins on Thursday by capturing the rubber match, and they did so behind Jacob Misiorowski, who, despite lowered velocity, gave the Brewers another quality start. The offense was the Jackson Chourio show, with the blossoming star recording a four-hit, four-RBI day that included two homers. Jackson Chourio’s monster day Game 135 | Brewers 6, Rangers 1 MIL Starter: Logan Henderson (7.0 IP, H, 0 BB, ER, 7 K) Top Performers: Christian Yelich (3 H, 2B, RBI) Jake Bauers (2 H, 3 BB) William Contreras (2 H, 3 RBI) It was back to American Family Field as the Brewers welcomed in an AL playoff hopeful in the Texas Rangers. Logan Henderson proceeded to carve them up, allowing just a solo homer to Danny Jansen en route to seven innings of dominant pitching. Meanwhile, the middle of the Brewers' order produced, with the trio of Christian Yelich, Jake Bauers, and William Contreras combining to reach base 10 times. Logan Henderson strikes out 7 Game 136 | Brewers 5, Rangers 3 MIL Starter: Shane Drohan (5.0 IP, 6 H, BB, ER, 6 K) Top Performers: William Contreras (2 H, BB, HR, RBI) Luis Lara (2 H, 2 RBI) Jackson Chourio (H, HR, RBI) Saturday saw Shane Drohan keep up the Brewers' streak of strong pitching performances to help the team push their series win streak to five, while this time, the offense was driven by a pair of solo homers in the first inning off the bats of Jackson Chourio and William Contreras. William Contreras sends one out (+9.3 WP%) Game 137 | Rangers 7, Brewers 4 MIL Starter: Dustin May (4.1 IP, 6 H, 3 BB, 4 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Bryse Wilson (2.2 IP, H, BB, 0 ER, 2 K) Gary Sánchez (H, BB, HR, 2 RBI) Dustin May didn't quite have the bounce-back appearance he wanted, as shaky Command was his downfall as the Rangers chased the Brewers trade deadline acquisition from the game in the 5th inning. They'd add off Grand Anderson to then put the game out of reach, and the Rangers would get out of town and avoid the sweep 7-4. Gary Sánchez's 200th career big fly (+5.3 WP%) Transactions: 08/28/26 - Sent IF Jonathan Ornelas outright to AAA Nashville. 08/25/26 - Designated IF Jonathan Ornelas for assignment. 08/25/26 - Activated RF Sal Frelick from the 10-day injured list. 08/25/26 - Sent LHP JoJo Romero on a rehab assignment to High-A Wisconsin. 08/25/26 - Sent RHP Abner Uribe on a rehab assignment to High-A Wisconsin.

Tuesday’s thrashing of the Mariners was a historic one, with the Brewers tying their franchise record for the largest margin of victory, as well as matching a handful of other historic offensive records as well. Lost in the shuffle was a strong outing from Kyle Harrison, who went five innings of scoreless innings and struck out eight. Luis Lara’s first career home run (+0.1 WP%) Game 127 | Mariners 7, Brewers 5 MIL Starter: Dustin May (2.0 IP, 7 H, 2 BB, K) Top Performers: Joey Ortiz (2 H, HR, 4 RBI) DL Hall (3.0 IP, 0 H, 2 BB, 0 ER, 3 K) Jackson Chourio (3 H) There would be no encore on Wednesday, however. The Mariners bounced back and victimized Dustin May, chasing him after just 2 innings of work and tagging the newest Brewer for seven runs along the way. That deficit was too much to overcome, despite a 4-RBI day from Joey Ortiz, as the Mariners evened the series at one with a 7-5 victory. Joey Ortiz’s 2-run shot (+5.4 WP%) Game 128 | Brewers 7, Mariners 4 MIL Starter: Robert Gasser (3.2 IP, 4 H, 4 BB, 4 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Aaron Ashby (2.0 IP, 0 H, 2 BB, 0 ER, 4 K) Chad Patrick (2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 4 K) Garett Mitchell (3 H, 2 2B, HR, 3 RBI) The Brewers jumped all over George Kirby in the series finale, scoring 6 runs in the first inning and never looking back. It was the exact cushion Robert Gasser needed, as he walked a season-high four batters while battling command before being unceremoniously pulled from the game in the middle of an at-bat by Pat Murphy. Still, the bullpen held behind him, and the Brewers took the rubber match 7-4. Gary Sánchez drives in a pair (+16.0 WP%) Game 129 | Brewers 2, Braves 1 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (6.0 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 0 ER, 6 K) Top Performers: William Contreras (4 H, RBI) The two leading favorites for the NL Cy Young matched up on Friday, as Jacob Misiorowski and Chris Sale faced off at American Family Field to kick off a series between two division-leading ballclubs. The Miz would win the marquee matchup, besting Sale with six scoreless innings, while on the offensive side, William Contreras drove the offense with a 4-hit day against his former team. William Contreras’ monster day Game 130 | Brewers 4, Braves 1 MIL Starter: Logan Henderson (6.0 IP, 5 H, 2 BB, ER,4 K) Top Performers: Jake Bauers (H, BB, HR, RBI) William Contreras (2 H, RBI) Logan Henderson and the Brewers captured game two in similar fashion, but this time it was Jake Bauers who was the hero with the bat, with his 2-run homer off of Martín Pérez being the difference in the 4-1 Brewers win. Game 131 | Braves 4, Brewers 2 MIL Starter: Shane Drohan (5.0 IP, 8 H, 3 BB, 2 ER, 5 K) Top Performers: Christian Yelich (2 H, BB, 2B) DL Hall (1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 2 K) The action shifted to Williamsport for the 2026 Little League Classic, with Shane Drohan taking the ball for the Brewers against Tyler Mahle of the Braves. Atlanta would win on the special occasion, chipping away at Shane Drohan and getting an add-on run against Aaron Ashby, while Mahle and the Braves pen held the Brewers to just two runs.

It was a score that held, as San Diego quieted the Brewers' offense the rest of the way and captured game one. Christian Yelich goes deep (+17.7 WP%) Game 120 | Padres 11, Brewers 2 MIL Starter: Kyle Harrison (4.2 IP, 10 H, 3 BB, 8 ER, 3 K) Top Performers: Andrew Vaughn (2 H, 2B) It got ugly on Tuesday, with Kyle Harrison struggling to find any kind of success against the Padres' bats while the Brewers were unable to pick on Walker Buehler, who turned in one of his finest outings of the season. The only highlight was Gary Sánchez, as he was the only Brewers pitcher to record a scoreless inning. Sánchez toes the slab Game 121 | Padres 4, Brewers 3 MIL Starter: Dustin May (7.0 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, ER, 6 K) Top Performers: Gary Sánchez (2 H, BB, 2B, HR, 2 RBI) Joey Ortiz (H, 2 BB) Trevor Megill (1.2 IP, 0 H, BB, 0 ER) The Padres added to the Misery by completing the sweep in a heartbreaker on Wednesday. It was a game that saw Dustin May pitch very well, allowing only 1 run in his seven innings of work, but the Brewers' offense was unable to hold a small lead late once again, and eventually, they fell behind in the 11th inning with Antonio Senzatela on the mound. Sánchez puts the Brewers in front (+23.8 WP%) Game 122 | Brewers 5, Dodgers 4 MIL Starter: Shane Drohan (5.1 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 3 ER, 5 K) Top Performers: Joey Ortiz (2 H, BB, RBI) Andrew Vaughn (2 H, 2 BB) D.L. Hall (2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 3 K) Shifting over to Los Angeles, the Brewers picked up their first win of the week over the Dodgers. Shane Drohan pitched well, better than his 3-run line may indicate, while the Brewers' offense struggled through the first eight innings of the game to get anything going off of Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers' bullpen. It all changed in the 9th, as the Brewers were all over Edwin Díaz, scoring 3 runs to flip the scoreboard and hand the ball to Trevor Megill with the lead. Milwaukee mounts a 9th-inning comeback Game 123 | Dodgers 3, Brewers 1 MIL Starter: Robert Gasser (6.1 IP, 8 H, BB, 3 ER, 2 K) Top Performers: Bryse Wilson (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 3 K) Joey Ortiz (H, 2B, RBI) The week’s offensive woes continued against Yoshinobu Yamamoto in game two, as behind their best arm, the Dodgers evened the series with a 3-1 win on Friday despite another shaky outing from Edwin Díaz in the 9th. Game 124 | Brewers 4, Dodgers 1 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (6.0 IP, 5 H, BB, ER, 6 K) Top Performers: Joey Ortiz (H, HR, 2 RBI) William Contreras (2 H, HR, 2 RBI) Aaron Ashby (2.0 IP, 0 H, BB, 0 ER, 2 K, SV) The Brewers punched back behind their ace to start the weekend, as Jacob Misiorowski maneuvered through the Dodgers' lineup without his best strikeout stuff, while the Brewers used the long ball to get through Justin Wrobleski on the offensive side, setting up a season-series decider on Sunday. William Contreras’ 2-run homer (+19.5 WP%) Game 125 | Brewers 6, Dodgers 2 MIL Starter: Logan Henderson (7.0 IP, 3 H, BB, ER, 6 K) Top Performers: Jake Bauers (4 H, BB, 2B, 2 RBI) Jackson Chourio (3 H, 2 2B) Andrew Vaughn (2 H, RBI) Behind Logan Henderson, the Brewers claimed the season series over the reigning champs, as the Brewers righty turned in the longest start of his career, doing what he couldn't earlier in the week and completing seven innings. With the bats, it was the Jake Bauers show, as he continued his resurgent season by recording his first 4-hit day since 2019.

Meanwhile, Bubba Chandler and the newly revamped Pirates bullpen were able to hold the Brewers to just three runs, and polish off a 4-3 Pirates win. Ortiz puts the Brewers on the board (+7.4 WP%) Game 113 | Brewers 4, Pirates 2 MIL Starter: Logan Henderson (6.0 IP, 4 H, BB, 2 ER, 8 K) Top Performers: Jackson Chourio (3 H, HR, 2 RBI) Andrew Vaughn (H, HR, RBI) Abner Uribe (1.0 IP, H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 3 K) Logan Henderson shut down the Buccos offense to even the series on Tuesday, while Jackson Chourio began what would be a very productive week by recording 3 hits en route to a 4-2 Brewer win. Andrew Vaughn Goes Deep (+12.5 WP%) Game 114 | Brewers 4, Pirates 2 MIL Starter: Kyle Harrison (5.0 IP, H, BB, 0 ER, 10 K) Top Performers: Christian Yelich (2 H, 2B, RBI) The Brewers doubled up on the 4-2 scoreline on Wednesday, this time with Kyle Harrison returning to the mound to outduel Paul Skenes. In fact, the only thing that could stop Harrison was cramping, as he exited the game early while warming up for the sixth inning, though he did so after striking out the final eight Pirates he faced. Kyle Harrison’s masterful return Game 115 | Brewers 5, Pirates 2 MIL Starter: Dustin May (6.0 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 2 ER, 5 K) Top Performers: Jackson Chourio (H, BB, HR, RBI) Gary Sanchez (2 H, HR, RBI) Dustin May's Brewers debut went according to plan, as behind him the Brewers secured their third straight victory over the Pirates, using home runs from Jackson Chourio and Gary Sanchez to win the series finale 5-2. El Kraken goes yard (+15.0 WP%) Game 116 | Twins 8, Brewers 6 MIL Starter: Shane Dorhan (5.0 IP, 9 H, 4 BB, 6 ER, 4 K) Top Performers: Brice Turang (2 H, BB, 2B, 2 RBI) Bryse Wilson (3.0 IP, H, 0 ER, 2 K) The Twins came to town on Friday and were all over Shane Drohan, who quickly coughed up an early Brewers lead in opposition to Twins hurler Zebby Matthews. The large deficit would be too much to overcome, as the Brewers dropped the opener 8-6. Brice Turang's 2-run double (+12.9 WP%) Game 117 | Brewers 4, Twins 3 MIL Starter: Robert Gasser (4.2 IP, 7 H, 2 BB, 3 ER, 3 K) Top Performers: Brice Turang (3 H, 2B, 2 RBI) Andrew Vaughn (2 H, RBI) Brewers Bullpen (4.1 IP, 0 H, BB, 3 K) Another rough start from a Brewers starter followed on Saturday, but Robert Gasser was able to gut through 4.2 innings, only allowing 3 runs despite heavy traffic on the base paths. That set the stage for the offense to chip away while the Brewers bullpen shut down the Twins bats the rest of the way, with a go-ahead single off the bat of Andrew Vaughn in the 8th being the eventual difference maker in a 4-3 Brewers win. Vaughn puts the Brewers on top (+22.4 WP%) Game 118 | Brewers 4, Twins 3 MIL Starter: Jacob Misiorowski (6.0 IP, 4 H, BB, 3 ER, 9 K) Top Performers: Jake Bauers (2 H, 2 BB, HR, 2 RBI) Jackson Chourio (H, 2 BB, HR, RBI) It was a wild one on Sunday, with a suddenly shorthanded position player group and taxed bullpen finding a way to beat the Twins in extra innings to take the series 4-3. That was all behind a start from Jacob Misiorowski, who struck out nine over his six innings, but a pair of homers from the Twins set the score at 3 by the time he exited. That set the stage for both bullpens navigating a plethora of baserunners in the late innings, but eventually a looping line drive from Jake Bauers sent the Brewer faithful home happy in the 10th. Jake Bauers walks it off (+29.0 WP%) Transactions: 08/09/26 - Placed SS Cooper Pratt on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain. 08/09/26 - Designated LHP Drew Rom for assignment. 08/09/26 - Signed free agent CF JiHwan Bae to a minor league contract. 08/09/26 - Selected the contract of CF Ji Hwan Bae from AAA Nashville. 08/08/26 - Designated RHP Bryse Wilson for assignment. 08/08/26 - Sent RF Sal Frelick on a rehab assignment to AAA Nashville. 08/08/26 - Selected the contract of RHP Lyon Richardson from Nashville Sounds. 08/06/26 - Sent LHP Thomas Pannone outright to Nashville Sounds. 08/06/26 - Sent RHP Carlos Rodriguez outright to Nashville Sounds. 08/05/26 - Activated LHP Kyle Harrison from the 15-day injured list. 08/05/26 - Optioned RHP Grant Anderson to Nashville Sounds. 08/04/26 - Activated RHP Dustin May. 08/04/26 - Activated RHP Antonio Senzatela. 08/04/26 - Optioned RHP Brandon Sproat to AAA Nashville. 08/04/26 - Optioned RHP Garrett Stallings to AAA Nashville. 08/03/26 - Designated RHP Carlos Rodriguez for assignment. 08/03/26 - Placed LHP JoJo Romero on the 15-day injured list. 08/03/26 - Acquired RHP Antonio Senzatela from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for LHP Mark Manfredi and SS Juan Martinez. 08/03/26 - Traded RHP Codi Heuer to the Baltimore Orioles for cash. 08/03/26 - Acquired RHP Dustin May and LHP JoJo Romero from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for OF Alexander Frias and OF Josiah Ragsdale.
