Milwaukee’s road trip continues in KC
Coming off of a tough series loss in Chicago, the Brewers will travel to Kansas City for a three-game set with the Royals. Kansas City is one of the surprises of the young season, sitting at 20-15 and in a virtual tie for second in a startlingly competitive AL Central. The Brewers, at 20-13, will look to stay atop the NL Central, where they lead the Cubs by percentage...

Bad day with runners in scoring position costs Milwaukee
Box Score
The Milwaukee Brewers failed to get anything going offensively as they fell 5-0 to the Chicago Cubs today at Wrigley Field. Their ace, Freddy Peralta, labored through five stressful innings and kept Milwaukee in the game, but ultimately the Brewers’ inability to get hits in big moments cost them. On the other side, Cubs starter Javier Assad wasn’t untouchable but he did just enough to...

Series to be decided this afternoon
The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs face off today in the rubber match of the first series between the teams since Craig Counsell defected south last offseason. On the hill to determine the outcome of this blood feud will be the Brewers’ well-rested ace, Freddy Peralta, against the Cubs’ Javier Assad.
Peralta, of course, was (unjustly?) tossed from his last start, which was shaping up to be his longest of the...
He had been scuffling at the time of his injury, with just four hits to his name in the majors this season, although those struggles came in a microscopic sample of just 24 trips to the plate.
As the Brewers prepare to play the second game of the three-game set with the Chicago Cubs management announced four roster moves ahead of the game. The Brewers enter play today sitting atop the National League Central with a 20-11 record on the young season.
The Milwaukee Brewers placed outfielder Joey Wiemer on the 10-day injured list on Saturday because of left knee discomfort. Wiemer slipped in left field during the eighth inning of the Brewers' 3-1 victory over the host Chicago Cubs on Friday.

Cubs take game two of the series 6-5
Box Score
The Milwaukee Brewers weren’t quite able to make it two straight comeback wins against the Chicago Cubs as they came up just short this afternoon. Tobias Myers, Milwaukee’s starter, struggled through three innings, while his counterpart, Jameson Taillon, cut through the Brewers lineup like a hot knife through butter for six innings before the Brewers got to the Chicago bullpen.
Things did not get off to a...

Corbin Martin sent back to Nashville before making an appearance
The Brewers made a few tweaks to their roster this morning. Joey Wiemer, who left yesterday’s game in the eighth inning after an awkward play in the outfield, was placed on the 10-day IL with “knee discomfort.” (This injury, which occurred after the Brewers emptied their bench, led to a precarious defensive alignment to end the game with Jake Bauers in left field and the hobbled...

Brewers look to clinch series victory
The Milwaukee Brewers will take on the Chicago Cubs today, after winning the first game of the series 3-1 yesterday afternoon. Tobias Myers will start for the Brewers, with Jameson Taillon on the hill for Chicago.
Myers is coming off a decent start (his second appearance of the season) against the Yankees last Sunday (the Aaron Judge Game) in which he pitched okay but was hurt by a three-run homer by Anthony...
Former first-round draft pick Brice Turang is rapidly becoming a star second baseman for the NL Central Division-leading Milwaukee Brewers. Maintaining an energized, blue-collar approach to the game and unwavering quest for excellence at the position, he continues to make a statement in his second season at the major league level.

Box Score
In the Brewers’ first game against the Craig Counsell-managed Cubs, Milwaukee came out on top with a 3-1 victory thanks to an eighth-inning rally anchored by four stolen bases.
The first five frames were a pitchers’ duel, as both Joe Ross and Hayden Wesneski kept the opposing offenses off the board.
The Brewers had runners in scoring position in the first,...

The Brewers are also headed to Wrigley Field for the first time in 2024 as Counsell is at the helm of the rival Cubs. Joe Ross is on the hill for the Crew...

Brewers shortstop Willy Adames had a down year in 2023, relative to his own standards. But here in the early parts of the 2024 season, he’s looked more like the pre-2023 version of himself.
