2026 Brewers Week in Review: Week 14
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.

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 […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (50-30) vs. Chicago Cubs (45-38)
It’s time for the rubber match between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs on a beautiful, sunny afternoon at American Family Field. The Brewers are looking for the series win and a chance to secure a 7.5-game lead over the Chicago Cubs as we reach the mathematical halfway point of the season. This is the […]
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, […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (50-29) vs. Chicago Cubs (44-38)
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.

Brewers’ offense breaks through late, takes 6-2 win over Cubs
Box Score Both the Brewers and Cubs came into this series hot, but it was the Brewers who kept that heat going. Despite a cold opening to the game, they turned on the burners late and defeated the Cubs 6-2. It was their 50th win of the season and their fifth win in a row. […]

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

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; […]
Brewers Top 50 Prospects – June 2026 Update
The Milwaukee Brewers continue to boast arguably the top farm system in all of baseball and that’s even with a large number of graduations that have happened through the first two and a half months of the season. Because of those graduations, and a pretty good sample size of play down in the minor leagues, […]
Brewers hold Reds to just two hits in 2-0 shutout win
Box Score While the Brewers’ offense didn’t exactly have a get-right game, it didn’t matter. Behind a dominant performance from Brandon Sproat and the pitching staff, Milwaukee held the Reds to just two hits in a 2-0 shutout victory, their third straight win. Despite his struggles this season, Reds starter Nick Lodolo was dealing out […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (47-29) @ Cincinnati Reds (37-40)
After escaping with an extra-inning win by the skin of their teeth yesterday, the Brewers will have a chance to secure a third straight victory tonight in Cincinnati.

Woodruff shines in return as Brewers eke out 2-1 win in extras
Box Score When Brandon Woodruff’s velocity suddenly nosedived during his last big-league start on April 30, there was real concern. It was fair to wonder that, given Woodruff’s age and injury history, he was facing a career-ending injury. Instead, he’s back in the big leagues less than two months later. And in a start that […]
