Milwaukee squandered a masterpiece from Jacob Misiorowski last night, allowing the Padres to come back and eke out a ninth-inning win.

Milwaukee has embraced a youth movement within its rotation, but Harrison (2.41 ERA, […]

Fresh off a 6-4 series opening win on Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres are back at it with both teams’ respective aces on the mound. The Brewers will have Jacob Misiorowski starting tonight. He’s coming off an electric start against the Yankees where he struck out 11 and threw the most […]

The Brewers’ bullpen is working its magic again

Note: All statistics are as of May 11 At some point every season, the Brewers’ bullpen stops making sense. Not bad, necessarily. Just… different. There’s no clean seventh-eighth-ninth progression. There’s no “this is the closer, this is the setup guy, everyone else fall in line.” Instead, it’s a constant shuffle of arms, innings, and situations […]

Is it time for the Brewers to retire another jersey?

Sitting and watching CC Sabathia and Dave Parker being inducted into the Brewers’ Wall of Fame got me thinking: When will the Brewers retire their next number? The last person to have a jersey number retired was a man who never played baseball for the team but rather was born, raised, and brought baseball back […]

Brewers walk off Yankees in extras as William Contreras plays hero

Box Score It was a matchup of two young pitchers who have been dominating to start 2026: Cam Schlittler and Kyle Harrison. Offense would be at a premium; that was certain. The Brewers nearly were able to knock Schlittler out of the game in the first inning, after William Contreras ripped a 108.5-mph comebacker off […]

Jacob Misiorowski is making history, and the season is still young

Last night, the Brewers put together a strong performance to open up their series against the Yankees, shutting them out 6-0. While the final score reflects a complete game from the Brewers as a team, it was Jacob Misiorowski who generated the talk of the game. Not only did he dominate a strong Yankees’ lineup, […]

Kicking the festivities off in the top of the first inning, […]

After an on-and-off week for the Brewers, they’re back in action following a scheduled off day yesterday and this evening, ready to begin a three-game series with the New York Yankees.

Brewers chose perfect time for CC Sabathia’s induction into Wall of Honor

The Brewers had announced over the winter that they would be inducting both CC Sabathia and Dave Parker into the team’s Wall of Honor outside American Family Field. Both had been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame the previous year. Both Parker and Sabathia are worthy inductees for the Brewers Wall of Honor […]

Box Score The Brewers took control early and never looked back, cruising to a 6-2 win behind a four-run first inning on Wednesday afternoon.
