2026 Brewers Week in Review: Week 12
Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week This past week was filled with a lot more offensive performances than it was with pitching. Of course, half of the week, some could say you could put an asterisk on, as they played at a Triple-A stadium. Naturally, in the first […]
Brewers to promote shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt
It is time. The Milwaukee Brewers are promoting shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt to the major leagues. Pratt signed an eight-year contract extension with the Brewers worth north of $50 million back in April. Now, at long last, he will arrive in Milwaukee. Pratt was removed from the Triple-A Nashville Sounds game on Sunday in the […]
Brewers power their way to a rubber match win
Box Score In what could be a future playoff matchup, the Milwaukee Brewers took the rubber match behind two home runs from Blake Perkins and Jackson Chourio to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-0 on Sunday afternoon. Facing the reigning National League Player of the Month? No problem. Chourio opened the home half of the first […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (42-26) vs Philadelphia Phillies (38-32)
It has been an up-and-down week for the Milwaukee Brewers. It feels as though they’ve continued playing their best baseball, but it’s been a sequence of close losses. Through it all, the offense has been looking stellar, and that’s promising enough as the Crew heads into another tough slate of games ahead of them this […]
Jackson Chourio’s two homers, late rally not enough as Brewers fall to Phillies 9-8
Box Score The Philadelphia Phillies were very excited to be facing anyone not named Jacob Misiorowski tonight, and they sure showed it. After being limited to one hit on Friday, the Phillies’ offense exploded for 17 hits and nine runs against the Brewers’ staff on Saturday night. It started in the second inning when Edmundo […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (42-25) vs. Philadelphia Phillies (37-32)
The Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies are getting back at it after a thorough domination from Jacob Misiorowski on Friday night. The Phillies will certainly be eager to face anyone else on the mound for the Brewers. But they will be tasked with facing Shane Drohan, who, while not as dominant as Misiorowski, has been […]
Sal Frelick deserves more time
This has not been a good season for Sal Frelick. He has struggled at the plate. Even more alarmingly, he has struggled in the field. People are speculating as to whether he’s injured. And when the Brewers secured the signature of Luis Lara — who has been red hot all season at Triple-A Nashville — […]
Misiorowski is historic as Brewers blank Phillies 6-0
Box Score We’ve gotten used to the idea that when Jacob Misiorowski pitches, you might see something you’ve never seen before. Tonight, I saw one of the greatest games ever pitched. Misiorowski, who’d never pitched in the eighth inning before, threw a complete game shutout. He did it on just 95 pitches. He struck out […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (41-25) vs. Philadelphia Phillies (37-31)
The Brewers are finally back from playing baseball games in various cities on the moon! Tonight, they start the first of a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies, who are 29-14 since ending a 10-game losing streak on April 25 and are second in the NL East. It’s Miz Day in Milwaukee, as the lanky […]

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 6/12-6/18
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers had another slightly underwhelming week, as they swept the Rockies in Colorado and won an extra-innings slugfest on Monday night in Las Vegas but ultimately dropped their series with the A’s. Elsewhere in the division, the bottom three teams (Pirates, Cubs, and Reds) struggled, but the Cardinals continue […]
Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies
The Milwaukee Brewers are back in town this weekend, as they’ll host the Philadelphia Phillies for a three-game set beginning Friday night. The Brewers, at 41-25 on the season, sit in first place in the NL Central, 3.5 games ahead of the Cardinals entering Thursday’s play. They’re coming off a 4-2 road trip in which […]
Monday night just adds to the list of all-time wild Brewers games
Monday night’s offensive slugfest with the Athletics in Las Vegas was nothing short of wild. From Kyle Harrison’s random blowup, where the first pitch of the bottom of the first inning got taken for a ride, to the 15 overturned pitch challenges, or maybe the fact that despite giving up 14 runs as a pitching […]
Brewers drop series finale in Vegas, lose to A’s 4-3
Box Score It was a solid night for Brandon Sproat in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, but the Brewers were unable to pick up the series win, as the offense faltered after putting up an early lead and Chad Patrick struggled out of the bullpen. Christian Yelich started the evening off with a walk, and […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (41-24) @ Athletics (32-35)
After a late-night/early-morning victory on Monday night, the Brewers lost the second game of their series against the Athletics in Las Vegas on Tuesday, meaning Wednesday night’s game is a rubber match. On the mound for the series finale is Brandon Sproat, who continues to struggle to put together multiple consistent innings. Sproat, 25, is […]
It’s time: bring Cooper Pratt to the big leagues
Note: the stats in this article were accurate through Monday; Pratt hit another homer on Tuesday. When Cooper Pratt signed an eight-year, $50 million contract (with two lucrative option years) on April 3, a clock started. Pratt was no longer beholden to any concerns about team control, super two status, 40-man roster status, any of […]
Brewers can’t keep up with Athletics, lose 7-5
Box Score After last night’s home run fest, expectations were that today’s game would feature more of the same. It wasn’t at the same levels as last night, but offense was still plentiful in this one. Unfortunately, the Brewers just couldn’t keep up this time, and they lost 7-5 to even the series at 1-1. […]
Breaking T releases “Watch It Go Wild Bill” shirt
We’re back with a new Breaking T shirt, featuring Milwaukee’s star backstop. In Monday night’s wild 15-14 victory, William “Wild Bill” Contreras hit what at the time looked like a put-away three-run homer in the 10th inning, giving the Crew a 14-10 lead (though it would ultimately take them 12 innings to score the deciding […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (41-23) @ Athletics (31-35)
Last night, the Brewers and Athletics opened the Las Vegas series with a high-powered extra-inning classic, in which the Brewers came out on top 15-14. That was just the first game of the series, and we could see more of the same tonight. There will be a lot of pressure on tonight’s starter, Robert Gasser. […]

Brewers sign Luis Lara to seven-plus year extension
The Milwaukee Brewers have, for the second time this season, signed one of their most promising prospects to a long-term extension. This time, it’s outfielder Luis Lara (ranked as a top-100 prospect by MLB Pipeline), who has enjoyed a significant offensive breakout with Triple-A Nashville this season. According to Jeff Passan, Lara has signed a […]

Home run derby breaks out in Las Vegas, Brewers defeat Athletics 15-14 in 12 innings
Box Score Entering the series in Las Vegas, the potential for a high-scoring series was seen by many. It didn’t take long for the game to live up to it. In a marathon game that may go down as a classic this season, both teams rallied from four-run deficits and the game went into extra […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (40-23) @ Athletics (31-34)
After a three-game sweep in Colorado, the Brewers finish up their western road trip with a preview of the future for the Athletics.
