Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (54-32) @ Arizona Diamondbacks (43-44)
The Brewers have a chance to win their second series in a row and their first of July this evening in Arizona as they take on the Diamondbacks. After a late night yesterday with over eight innings thrown by the Brewers bullpen, they’ll lean on Brandon Woodruff to provide them with rest. Woodruff will be […]
Bullpen delivers as Brewers win another late-night West Coast affair
Box Score As the legendary football coach Bear Bryant once said, “Defense wins championships,” and without it, the Milwaukee Brewers don’t take game one against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Crew took care of business in an 11-inning affair, 7-4. Often known for his defensive abilities, Garrett Mitchell used his bat to sneak one over the […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (53-32) @ Arizona Diamondbacks (43-43)
The final stretch before the All-Star break continues tonight as the Brewers now have 11 games in their next 10 days, beginning with a visit out west. Earlier this season in Milwaukee, the Crew fared well against the D-backs as they took two of three, both wins in ceremonious fashion. Last homestand, both the offense […]

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 7/3-7/9
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. Happy Fourth of July weekend! We’re now beyond the midpoint of the season, and just over a week away from the MLB Draft & All-Star break. The Brewers have weathered the first half of their gauntlet, but they still have the D-backs, Cardinals, and Pirates on deck for 11 games […]
Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers @ Arizona Diamondbacks
The Milwaukee Brewers are back on the road this weekend, as they’ll head to the desert to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks for three games beginning Friday evening. The Brewers, fresh off a winning homestand against the Reds and Cubs, are about halfway through the biggest gauntlet of their season — they’ve played seven games […]
Misiorowski falters, Burns doesn’t as Reds win 7-2
Box Score Jacob Misiorowski versus Chase Burns was rightfully billed as one of the season’s top pitching matchups. And we did get to see a bunch of really good pitching from both pitchers. But one ill-timed and uncharacteristic mistake from Misiorowski cost the Brewers, while the bottom of the Reds’ order did a whole bunch […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (53-31) vs. Cincinnati Reds (39-46)
The Brewers will go for a rare four-game sweep this afternoon as they wrap up their series with the Reds, but that’s not the headline. This game will feature one of the most exciting pitching matchups of the season, when Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski faces off against Cincinnati’s Chase Burns. Misiorowski and Burns are two of […]
Brewers’ top prospects Jesús Made, Luis Peña named to 2026 All-Star Futures Game
For the second straight year, the Brewers will have one of baseball’s premier prospects on the Futures Game stage. This time, he’ll have company. Baseball’s consensus top prospect, shortstop Jesús Made, will represent the Brewers for the second straight year at the annual prospect showcase. Made has backed up the hype this season, slashing .289/.359/.448 […]
Brewers trade deadline primer, part one: Needs and the landscape
It’s July — the trade deadline is in sight! Over the next few weeks, I’m going to publish a series of articles that survey the league’s trade landscape as it relates to the Brewers. We’re going to start by looking at the team’s needs and surveying the league to see who might be selling before […]
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 […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (52-31) vs. Cincinnati Reds (39-45)
Winners of 50 of their last 69 games (that’s a 117-win pace over a full season) against the Cincinnati Reds, the Milwaukee Brewers will look to keep on rolling on Wednesday night. The Crew has taken the first two games of this series, and a win tonight would secure a series victory. Just like the […]
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)
The Brewers opened their series against the Reds last night with a late rally to take a 5-3 win. It was their fourth straight win against the Reds this season. The Brewers will try to extend that to five straight wins tonight. Brandon Sproat starts game two for the Brewers. He’s pitched six innings in […]

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 […]

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. 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 […]
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 […]
