Garrett Mitchell’s career night powers Brewers to 4-2 win over Reds

Box Score Garrett Mitchell had just 10 starts against a left-handed pitcher all season long coming into the night. He had just a .547 OPS against lefties coming into the night, so it was fairly understandable why. But Pat Murphy gave Mitchell the start on Wednesday night against Reds southpaw Andrew Abbott and he had […]

Five players the Brewers could reunite with at the Trade Deadline

There’s no doubt that this season has seen the ebbs and flows of the Brewers. We’ve seen stretches where the offense is unstoppable, and we’ve also seen stretches — such as the last week — where the offense can’t cash in a runner in scoring position. The same applies to the pitching staff, which, entering […]

Brewers ride four-run fourth inning to 7-2 win over Reds

Box Score The Brewers are starting to look like themselves again. After some recent struggles with runners in scoring position, they broke out of their slump with a big fourth inning, and with another solid day from Brandon Sproat, the Brewers took a 7-2 win on Tuesday night. The day started out looking rough for […]

Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (51-31) vs. Cincinnati Reds (39-44)

2026 Brewers Minor League Roundup: Week 14

The second half of the minor league season is officially underway, which means it’s time for my first-half awards for each Brewers affiliate. As a result, this week’s roundup looks a little different. Instead of briefly touching on nearly every notable prospect, I’m taking a (slightly) deeper look at the standout performers from each Brewers […]

Joey Ortiz’s late homer powers Brewers to 5-3 comeback win over Reds

Box Score For much of the night, the Brewers consistently put runners on base but couldn’t cash them in. Despite going 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position and leaving eight runners on base, timely home runs from Brice Turang and Joey Ortiz, a solid start from Robert Gasser, and quality relief work from Chad Patrick […]

Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (50-31) vs. Cincinnati Reds (39-43)

It feels like the Brewers just played the Reds because… well, they did. Last week, Milwaukee swept a three-game series in Cincinnati while holding the Reds to just six total runs — five of which came in the series finale. Tonight, the two teams open a four-game series, this time within the friendly confines of […]

Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week The Brewers weren’t short on solid pitching performances this week, so we’ll make this a “Brandon” award for Brandon Sproat and Brandon Woodruff. Sproat went six scoreless frames with just one hit and one hit batter while striking out 10 in a […]

Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cincinnati Reds

The Milwaukee Brewers will face yet another NL Central rival this week, as they’re welcoming the Cincinnati Reds to town for four games. Given that Milwaukee played the Reds less than a week ago, I won’t do my full recap of both teams. After the Brewers swept the Reds at Great American Ballpark, Milwaukee returned […]

Missed opportunities haunt Crew as Brewers fall to Cubs in extras, 4-3

Box Score A game and a series that started so promisingly ended up in an emotional loss for the Milwaukee Brewers as they fell to their rivals, the Chicago Cubs, 4-3 in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon. Brandon Woodruff was the big positive. In his second start since coming back from the IL, Woodruff shoved […]

Luis Lara’s Power Surge, Explained

Luis Lara looked like he had solved the biggest question surrounding his prospect profile. Through May 6, the recently extended outfield prospect had already hit seven home runs, shattering his previous career-high of four. It looked like he’d finally unlocked his power. Nearly two months later, he still has exactly seven home runs. March 27–May […]

Brewers drop Saturday night affair with Cubs, 8-2, as bullpen struggles

Box Score Kyle Harrison had another solid outing on Saturday night, handing the bullpen a 2-2 tie with the Cubs in the sixth inning. Unfortunately, Milwaukee’s bullpen struggled, allowing six runs over the final four innings in what ended up as a blowout 8-2 loss. After Harrison breezed through the first with a 1-2-3 inning, […]

After a nice 6-2 victory on Friday night, the Brewers will look to secure another series win over the Cubs in the second game on Saturday night. Left-hander Kyle Harrison gets the start for the Brewers, while the Cubs will deploy a left-hander of their own in David Peterson, who they acquired in a trade […]

Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (49-29) vs. Chicago Cubs (44-37)

It’s a rivalry weekend in Milwaukee. After a 4-2 road trip, the Brewers are back home to open a seven-game homestand against two division rivals. This also marks the beginning of 18 games in 17 days leading into the All-Star Break, and is the final homestand before the break. Jacob Misiorowski is back on the […]

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 6/26-7/2

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers dropped their first two games in Atlanta over the weekend, but they bounced back nicely to win the series finale before sweeping the Reds in Cincinnati to extend their division lead. After a well-deserved off day yesterday, they’re now set to begin an 18-game gauntlet over the next […]

Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host the rival Chicago Cubs this weekend, with three big games in store at American Family Field. The Brewers have found their groove over the last month-plus.

Assessing the rest of the division as we near the halfway mark

Note: All stats/records as of the morning of June 24 Though it sort of feels like their first game was not that long ago, the Milwaukee Brewers have played 78 games and are nearing the mathematical halfway point in the season. I thought it would be a good time to reassess the division, to see […]

Contreras stars, Kuhnel hangs on in Brewers’ 6-5 win over Reds

Box Score The Brewers were far from their best today. The pitching staff, in a tough spot in terms of availability after a couple of very close games, made things uncomfortable, but a Brewer offense that finally snapped out of the funk they were in during the first two games of the series gave the […]

Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (48-29) @ Cincinnati Reds (37-41)

The Brewers have only scored four runs in the first two games of their three-game series in Cincinnati, yet they’ve managed to win both games: a 2-1 extra-innings victory on Monday and a 2-0 shutout on Tuesday. Brandon Woodruff and Brandon Sproat both turned in outstanding, nearly identical pitching performances against a struggling Reds offense; […]
