The Royals have also gotten off to a solid start, as they’re 3-2 entering Thursday’s series finale against […]
Box Score The Brewers picked up another win on Wednesday afternoon, wrapping up their season-opening homestand with another series win behind a solid pitching performance and a late offensive surge. Jacob Misiorowski got off to a strong start, setting down the top of Tampa Bay’s lineup in order bookended with a pair of strikeouts. Drew […]
Early season schedules are a peculiarity, and a getaway game on an early April afternoon is one of those things. The Rays were licking their wounds from a rough loss on Tuesday night—but a blessedly solid outing from the returning Shane McClanahan—and were hoping to come away with a series win before hitting the road. […]
After dropping the opener of a three-game set against the Rays on Monday, the Brewers bounced back with a chaotic 6-2 win last night.

Go Rays, actually!
Box Score Last season, the Brewers were known for forcing errors and causing chaos in games. If Tuesday is any indication, that’s going to continue in 2026. A pair of strange challenges were the highlight moments in a 6-2 win over the Rays. Brandon Woodruff got the start tonight, but the Brewers’ first inning troubles […]
It has been a long time since we’ve seen a start from Shane McClanahan. Since August 2, 2023, in fact. But the former All-Star has dealt with bad hand after bad hand in terms of injury, and his path back to the majors hasn’t been an easy one. Tonight, all eyes were on the mound […]

The Rays opened a three-game series in Milwaukee on Monday winning a close one against the Brewers. Cedric Mullins was dropped from the starting lineup for the first time this season, which made sense with lefty Kyle Harrison starting for the Brewers. Jonathan Aranda and Chandler Simpson were the only two left-handed hitters in the […]
Box Score It was not the Milwaukee Brewers night tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays. It started with the first batter of the game when Yandy Díaz ripped a misplaced changeup from Kyle Harrison over the left field wall for his first homer of the season. However, Harrison rebounded quite well from that first hitter, […]
Go Rays and also singles!
A roster crunch forced the Rays’ hand in trading Jake Woodford to the Brewers, but I’m still a bit disappointed by it on a personal level because he was one of my favorite players in camp this spring. He’s a funky, unique pitcher with an offspeed pitch that has no comps from his slot. It’s […]
The Milwaukee Brewers, coming off a series sweep of the Chicago White Sox to begin the season, will look to continue their momentum against the Tampa Bay Rays at American Family Field this week. The Brewers got off to a great start, outscoring Chicago 29-10 in the series, including a 14-2 Opening Day victory, a […]

The Cardinals beat the Rays 6-5 in a game that went ten innings. The Rays’ offense showed fight, scoring four in the ninth to tie after being shut out for the first eight innings. Joe Boyle gave up two runs early on, but once he settled in, he was fantastic, retiring 15 straight hitters. But […]

Go Rays!
The Mariners made their first in-season roster move today, placing RHP Carlos Vargas on the 15-day IL with a lat strain and recalling RHP Cole Wilcox from Tacoma. In December 2020, the Padres acquired Blake Snell from the Rays in a high-profile trade that sent highly-ranked prospect Luis Patiño, catchers Francisco Mejia and Blake Hunt, […]
