Go get ‘em, Edward.
The Brewers moved back into first place in the National League Central yesterday when they defeated the Cubs, and they also clinched a series victory in the first set between the two teams this season. Tonight, they aim for a sweep with Kyle Harrison on the mound. Harrison continued his excellent first season with the […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 50 Brewers 5, Cubs 0: Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Cubs look utterly lost Cubs vs. Brewers, Wednesday 5/20, 6:40 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Wednesday 5/20, 6:40 CT
While we wait for the Cubs to (hopefully) salvage one game of their series against the Brewers, I thought I’d take another look at how the team and its individual players are doing with ABS challenges. Through Tuesday’s game, Cubs fielders (almost all catchers) are fourth-best in MLB at successful challenges, getting 68 percent correct […]
Just remember this old adage when thinking about the Cubs’ 5-2 loss to the Brewers and the current four-game losing streak: No team is as bad as it looks when on a losing streak. (Conversely, no team is as good as it looks when on a winning streak, and that includes this year’s Cubs.) So […]
Box Score Jacob Misiorowski hasn’t allowed a run since April 25. The Miz extended his scoreless streak to four straight starts and 24 1/3 innings this evening, and this time the Brewers were able to hold the slim lead that he left the game with. A good thing, too, as the Brewers had plenty of […]
Go get ‘em, Ben.
The Chicago Cubs have been slipping lately, losing seven of their last nine games. They now hold only a half-game lead on the Milwaukee Brewers and just one game on the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central Division going into Tuesday's play. The starting pitching woes have started to have an effect, as they've surrendered 26 runs in their last three games, going into Tuesday's play. The Cubs are without several upper-end of the rotation arms, and will need to address that. Per Bob...
The Brewers picked up a nice win over the Cubs yesterday in the first of a three-game series on Chicago’s north side. Today, they’ll look to take the series and catch up to (and pass!) the Cubs in the standings. Yesterday, the Brewers jumped out to a sizable early lead, Brandon Sproat did enough to […]
Today’s roster move: Here Tuesday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Ben Brown, RHP vs. Jacob Misiorowski, RHP Ben Brown has stepped up after being asked to slot into the rotation when Matthew Boyd was injured. In two starts: eight innings, one hit, two walks, 10 strikeouts. That’s really good! Brown also has thrown well in […]

Shōta Imanaga has been so good this year that I think all of us hoped he had turned the page on 2025 and would have a 2024-type season all year. Until Monday, that was the case. Unfortunately, Imanaga got hit hard and had his worst start of the year (and to be honest, he had […]
Welcome back to the Minor League Roundup! As a reminder, you can find this roundup — covering everything you need to know about each of the Brewers’ minor league affiliates — every Tuesday morning right here on Brew Crew Ball. For consistency, all organizational prospect rankings will reference MLB Pipeline unless otherwise noted. Triple-A Nashville […]
Over the last nine years, Milwaukee Brewers fans have witnessed more success in this span of history than ever before. Two trips to the National League Championship Series and seven playoff appearances, which is nearly double the number of appearances in the previous 48 years (1981, 1982, 2008, 2011). Throughout the success, you can point […]
Box Score In the first of 13 meetings between the Brewers and Cubs this season, the Brewers set the tone for these matchups. Though the Cubs were riding a 15-game home winning streak and had their ace on the mound, it didn’t faze the Brewers at all. They scored eight runs off of Shota Imanaga […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
The regular season is nearing the two-month mark, but the Brewers and Cubs have not played yet this season. That changes tonight as the two teams open the first of four series, which could end up deciding the NL Central. The season is just over a quarter of the way done, and the National League […]
Monday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Brandon Sproat, RHP As you’ll recall, Shōta Imanaga’s second half was so bad that the Cubs didn’t use him in the deciding game of the division series in 2025. Things have changed. Imanaga is 100 percent healthy again and in three starts this month he […]
Brewers 9, Cubs 3: Shōta Imanaga implodes and the long home winning streak ends Cubs vs. Brewers, Monday 5/18, 6:40 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Monday 5/18, 6:40 CT
The upswing of the past few weeks has turned to a harsh downswing. The Yankees went on a terrible road trip last week, getting swept by the Brewers before losing two of three to both the Orioles and Mets — the first was an understandable blip on the radar, but the latter two are teams […]
This is the first meeting between these division rivals since last October’s Division Series, which, as you know, the Brewers won three games to two. Both teams have made significant changes since that time. For more on the Brewers, here’s Harrison Freuck, manager of our SB Nation Brewers site Brew Crew Ball. The Milwaukee Brewers […]
The Twins had a 3-3 week (stop me if you’ve heard this before), taking a 2-1 series against the Marlins, which included an incredible Bailey Ober “Maddux”, and then dropping two games to the Brewers during “Rivalry Weekend” in the MLB. We might have seen the last of Matt Wallner in a Twins uniform after […]
Last week saw to divisional matchups in the National League West, and NL West teams lost the two series against other NL teams outside the division. The San Diego Padres dropped two of three against the Milwaukee Brewers, and the Colorado Rockies lost two out of three against the Pittsburgh Pirates. But the division mostly […]
Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week Is it time to rename this section to “What impressive performance did Jacob Misiorowski pull off last week?” It’s starting to feel that way with how well he’s been pitching. He followed up his performance against the Yankees last week with a […]
Here we go — the first Brewers-Cubs series of the 2026 season, and their first meeting since the Brewers beat the Cubs 3-2 in last season’s NLDS. The Crew is headed to Wrigley Field, as they’ll take on the Cubs for three games beginning Monday night. The Brewers are coming off a series win over […]
