Longtime Brewers manager Phil Garner passes at age 76
Phil Garner, a baseball lifer who was for a time the all-time winningest manager in Brewers history, died over the weekend at age 76. Brewers fans will remember Garner as the team’s manager for most of the 1990s. He became the franchise’s all-time leader in wins when he passed Tom Trebelhorn during the 1997 season […]
Trevor Megill’s latest implosion costs Brewers’ chance to end losing skid
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers were in dire need of a win on Tuesday night to end a five-game losing streak, and the reincarnated Home Run Race of 1998 has hit the Brewers with Jake Bauers and Gary Sánchez continuing to go tit-for-tat in their bid to be the Crew’s home run leader. It started […]
Game Thread #16: Milwaukee Brewers (8-7) vs. Toronto Blue Jays (6-9)
The Milwaukee Brewers will look to end their five-game losing skid tonight, and they’ll have to do it against the reigning American League champions. On top of that, they’ll have to do it without another one of their top players in Christian Yelich. The Brewers officially placed Christian Yelich on the 10-day IL on Tuesday […]
Christian Yelich heads to IL with hamstring injury, Greg Jones selected
The hits just keep coming for the Brewers, and not in a good way. Christian Yelich, who left Sunday’s game early with a hamstring issue, has landed on the injured list, which was not unexpected after manager Pat Murphy’s comments after the game. He’s been diagnosed with an adductor strain. Outfielder Greg Jones, who has […]

2026 Brewers Week in Review: Week 3
Last Week’s Results Division Standings Last Week Top Pitching Performance of the Week It hasn’t been a week to remember for, really, anyone on the Brewers or their performance as a team. Jacob Misiorowski did have an impressive start in which he struck out 10 Red Sox in just 5 1/3 innings, but he walked […]
Brewers’ losing streak stretches to five games with 8-6 loss to Nationals
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers found themselves on the wrong side of a few late-inning rallies by the Nationals on Sunday afternoon, as Washington put up six runs against Milwaukee’s bullpen to pick up a sweep and extend the Brewer losing streak to five. Brandon Woodruff started the afternoon out looking fantastic, setting the top […]
Game Thread #15: Milwaukee Brewers (8-6) vs. Washington Nationals (6-8)
The Milwaukee Brewers have had a rough week. After wrapping up their third consecutive series win last weekend in Kansas City, Milwaukee moved to 8-2 with a series-opening win in Boston on Monday. Since then, however, they’ve lost four straight. In those four losses — two to the Red Sox and two to the Nationals […]
Brewers offense flails in 3-1 loss to Nationals
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers’ offense is struggling hard. After scoring in the first inning in their loss on Friday night, they didn’t score for the rest of that game, and that streak made it another eight innings — in which the team had only one hit — tonight. Washington’s Foster Griffin, who spent the […]
Game Thread #14: Milwaukee Brewers (8-5) vs. Washington Nationals (5-8)
On Friday evening, the Brewers dropped an ugly one, maybe their most painful loss of the young season. After Jake Bauers hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the first inning to respond to two early Nationals runs, it felt like Milwaukee might cruise. But instead they were shut out for the next eight innings by […]
Trevor Megill implodes in ninth inning, Brewers lose 7-3
Box Score The homestand did not start well for the Brewers. After a burst by both offenses in the first, the pitching staffs kept it close until the Brewers buckled late. Most of it came from a terrible performance by Trevor Megill, and the Brewers dropped the series opener to the Nationals 7-3. The game […]
Game Thread #13: Milwaukee Brewers (8-4) vs. Washington Nationals (4-8)
After a break-even 3-3 road trip that ended with a two-game losing streak, the Brewers are back home for their second homestand of the season. They will play their next six games at home, starting with a three-game series against the Nationals. Though Chad Patrick was announced as the original starter for the game, the […]

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 4/10-4/16
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers are in an early-season fight atop the NL Central standings, as Milwaukee sits at 8-4 and the entire division is currently .500 or better. Oh, and the Brewers released a new City Connect jersey on Thursday that’s pretty bleh in my opinion. Feel free to use this thread […]
Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Washington Nationals
The Milwaukee Brewers return home this weekend, as they’ll take on the Washington Nationals for three games beginning Friday evening. After unveiling their new City Connect uniforms on Thursday, the Crew will wear the jerseys in all three games of this series. The Brewers are coming off a 3-3 road trip that included a series […]
Brewers release new City Connect design
After a leak early last week, the Milwaukee Brewers have now officially released their new City Connect jerseys. The new design features “Wisco” across the chest and “Forward,” Wisconsin’s state motto, sewn into the collar. The jersey is primarily blue with cream and a “sunset gradient” accents. It also features a Barrelman sleeve patch and […]
The Case for Luis Matos
The Brewers are already pretty deep in the outfield. When healthy, Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, and Garrett Mitchell form a consistently productive core, while Blake Perkins and Brandon Lockridge serve as capable depth options. Well, what if I told you they may have just added another starting-caliber outfielder? This offseason, the Brewers traded for left-handed […]
Brewers fall to Sonny Gray, Red Sox 5-0 in tough end to road trip
Box Score It ends up being just a .500 road trip for the Brewers across Kansas City and Boston as Milwaukee dropped the rubber match Wednesday afternoon against the Red Sox, 5-0. Sonny Gray had the goods from the beginning. The Brewers were able to get some traffic on the bases against him, but could […]
Game Thread #12: Milwaukee Brewers (8-3) @ Boston Red Sox (3-8)

Brewers lose battle of aces against Red Sox, 3-2
Box Score In what was lined up as a battle of aces, the game delivered for the first 5 1/2 innings. However, it was Garrett Crochet who came out on top over Jacob Misiorowski, and the Brewers dropped their second game in Boston, 3-2. Crochet started with a 1-2-3 inning, aided by a diving catch […]
Game Thread #11: Milwaukee Brewers (8-2) @ Boston Red Sox (2-8)
The Brewers and Red Sox kicked off their three-game series last night with a hectic back-and-forth game. The Brewers took the first game 8-6, but not without some extra drama. That will likely carry over into tonight as the two teams play their second game, with the Brewers going for the series win. Both teams […]
Willson Contreras v. Brandon Woodruff: A Brief Beef History
Monday night’s game between the Brewers and Red Sox got chippy out of nowhere. With two runners on and no outs, Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras stepped to the plate against veteran starter Brandon Woodruff. Woodruff’s first pitch was a high-and-tight sinker just a couple of inches inside. Contreras, known for crowding the strike […]
