Game Thread #33: Milwaukee Brewers (18-14) @ Washington Nationals (15-19)
After yesterday’s win over the Nationals, the Brewers have now won three straight games. Right-hander Logan Henderson, Milwaukee’s No. 6 prospect, is on the bump today to try and make it four. Henderson, who has a 1.02 ERA in 17 2/3 innings with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, was recalled earlier this morning. In a corresponding […]
Brewers win third straight game, 4-1 over Nationals
Box Score After a couple of dominant days on offense for the Brewers, the streak cooled down early today. However, it ran just long enough to build a lead, which Kyle Harrison protected in a 4-1 win this afternoon. Most of the Brewers’ offense came with two outs in the first inning. William Contreras started […]
Game Thread #32: Milwaukee Brewers (17-14) @ Washington Nationals (15-18)
After the Brewers’ offense kept rolling in last night’s game against the Nationals, they will try to keep that momentum going this afternoon. It will be a rematch of starting pitchers from three weeks ago, when these teams played on April 11. First, we have today’s set of injury updates. After Jacob Misiorowski left last […]
Misiorowski throws 5 1/3 no-hit innings, leaves early in 6-1 victory
Box Score Jacob Misiorowski had a historic night on the mound. He also put a gigantic scare into the Brewer faithful when he had to be removed from the game while cruising in the sixth inning, but the Brewers have hopefully avoided any major concern over Misiorowski’s health (early reports are that he was cramping), […]
Game Thread #31: Milwaukee Brewers (16-14) @ Washington Nationals (15-17)
The Milwaukee Brewers and Washington Nationals open a three-game set in the nation’s capital tonight, three weeks after the Nats swept the Brewers in three games in Milwaukee. The Brewers will obviously be looking for different results this weekend, and they’ll get things started tonight by sending Jacob Misiorowski to the mound to take on […]
Brewers place Brandon Woodruff on IL with shoulder inflammation following Thursday’s early exit
It was inevitable that Brandon Woodruff would land on the injured list after he had to leave Thursday’s start in the second inning with diminished velocity. His fastball was sitting at just 85 mph after it had been averaging 92.5 mph all season. Manager Pat Murphy was non-committal of an IL placement on Thursday after […]
Introducing our newest Brew Crew Ball staff member
Welcome Jackson Heiden, Contributor In 2015, the Milwaukee Brewers hired Jeff Levering as the newest member of their broadcast team. On September 23, 2017, I was outside listening to the Brewers Radio Network, helping my father re-side the house, when Travis Shaw hit a two-run walk-off home run against the Chicago Cubs in the 10th […]
Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 5/1-5/7
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers are back on the road this weekend, as they’ll take a trip through D.C. and St. Louis to visit the Nationals and Cardinals for three games apiece. Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-baseball sports, the Brewers, […]
Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers @ Washington Nationals
The Milwaukee Brewers are back on the road, as they’ll face their first repeat opponent of the season in the Washington Nationals. Three weekends ago, the Brewers were swept by the Nationals at home, as they stretched their losing streak to five after being outscored 18-10 over the three-game set. They’ll look to avoid a […]
Brewers blow out Diamondbacks again in 13-1 victory
Box Score For the second time in three games, the Brewers outscored the Arizona Diamondbacks by double digits. Milwaukee got to Michael Soroka early and often, and despite Brandon Woodruff’s exit in the second inning, the bullpen — led by Shane Drohan — held Arizona to just one run over 7 2/3 innings. Milwaukee is […]
Brandon Woodruff exits Thursday’s game early after concerning velocity dip
The red flags popped up immediately. Brandon Woodruff’s first fastball of the game came across the plate at 84.2 mph. I initially thought the radar gun was mis-calibrated, or the system registered an off-speed pitch as a fastball. But then the next one came in at 85 mph, and instantly things looked bad. Brandon Woodruff […]
Game Thread #30: Milwaukee Brewers (15-14) vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (16-13)
The Brewers came out hot in last night’s game but were unable to hold on for the series win against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Today’s rubber match pits veteran starter Brandon Woodruff against right-hander Michael Soroka. Woodruff, the longest-tenured member of the Brewers’ starting rotation, has been a steady presence through five starts. He carries a […]
Brewers lose early lead, fall to D-backs 6-2
Box Score It was a bit of a Jekyll-and-Hyde night for the Brewers, both for the team’s offense and for their starting pitcher, Brandon Sproat. Sproat showed his immense potential early but ran into trouble later on; that trouble was all the Diamondbacks needed, as a Milwaukee offense that showed some life early went into […]
Game Thread #29: Milwaukee Brewers (15-13) vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (15-13)
The Milwaukee Brewers picked up their second straight win on Tuesday and aim to make it three in a row — and their first series victory in over a week — on Wednesday evening at home versus the Diamondbacks. Yesterday, Chad Patrick battled wildness (and vision problems and vomiting, apparently) but allowed just two earned […]
Brewers overpower Diamondbacks with small ball in 13-2 win
Box Score The Brewers’ offense is still weathering the storm as they wait for some of their top batters to return from the injured list. On Tuesday night, they didn’t need their power hitters, as a barrage of singles and walks gave them a decisive 13-2 win over the Diamondbacks. Chad Patrick started the game […]
Game Thread #28: Milwaukee Brewers (14-13) vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (15-12)
After breaking a four-game losing streak on Sunday, the Brewers are back tonight to continue their homestand. Next up are the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are in for a three-game series. For the Brewers, Chad Patrick is on the mound tonight. He’s coming off a rough appearance in Detroit, where he allowed four runs in four […]

Surprise Brewers assistant coach listed as name to watch for MLB manager job openings
The Milwaukee Brewers have been a model of success for the past decade, and it’s quite clear the rest of the league has taken notice. From the Mets’ long-known courtship of David Stearns, to Craig Counsell leaving for the Cubs, to Walker McKinven going to the White Sox, and so many others, teams have been […]
Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game set beginning Tuesday evening to wrap up their homestand. Milwaukee is coming off a series loss to the Pirates to begin the homestand, though they did pick up their first shutout win on Sunday, taking that one 5-0 behind a strong 12-strikeout […]
2026 Brewers Week in Review: Week 5
Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week This is an easy one. Harrison’s start on Sunday versus the Pirates was probably the Brewers’ best of the season. In Sunday’s win, which busted a four-game losing streak, Harrison went six shutout innings, allowed only one hit and one walk, and […]

Brewers right the ship with 5-0 shutout victory over Pirates
Box Score Kyle Harrison turned in a brilliant performance, and the Brewers capitalized on a five-run fourth inning to snap their four-game losing streak and avoid a sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The win puts Milwaukee back over .500 ahead of a Tuesday matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Neither team scored until the […]
Game Thread #27: Milwaukee Brewers (13-13) vs. Pittsburgh Pirates (16-11)
Milwaukee has now dropped four straight after last night’s extra-inning loss. The Crew will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates in this afternoon’s series finale. Kyle Harrison is on the mound for the Brewers. Acquired from Boston in February, the left-hander has been a steady presence early on. He hasn’t […]
Brewers fall 6-3 in extra innings as losing streak hits four
Box Score Three times in this baseball game, the Brewers — a team that hasn’t homered in almost a week — nearly hit a baseball out of the park to right field. But none of those balls made it over the wall, and while Milwaukee sparred with the Pirates and answered their runs throughout the […]
Game Thread #26: Milwaukee Brewers (13-12) vs. Pittsburgh Pirates (15-11)
Well, things didn’t go very well for the Brewers yesterday against Paul Skenes. The reigning NL Cy Young struck out seven Brewers, didn’t walk any, and allowed just one single in seven dominant innings of work. Milwaukee couldn’t muster a hit against either of Skenes’ relievers, either, and they were shut out, 6-0, and managed […]
