Brewers News

The Milwaukee Brewers stumbled in their second game against the Chicago Cubs, falling 8-2 after a promising start by Kyle Harrison, who managed to hold the game at a 2-2 tie before the bullpen faltered. This disappointing result highlights a concerning trend, as the bullpen has struggled to maintain leads, putting extra pressure on the team's depth during this rigorous stretch. With a record of 50-29, the Brewers are still sitting pretty atop the division, but the recent performance raises questions about their ability to secure wins consistently. On the bright side, Sal Frelick is finding his rhythm after a rough start to the season, showcasing improved contact skills. The Brewers need to regroup quickly, as their bullpen’s capacity will be tested further in the upcoming series against the Cubs.

MILWAUKEE -- Pat Murphy deployed his closer, Trevor Megill, with a four-run lead in the ninth inning of Friday’s series opener against the Cubs. That said something about Murphy’s sense of urgency about this series. Perhaps it said more about what Murphy thinks about his bullpen depth these days. “I

Sal Frelick has become even more elite in this one area amid inconsistent 2026 season
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick is turning things around in the month of June after a slow start. His contact skills and ability to avoid strikeouts have even improved slightly in 2026 compared to 2025.

David Stearns avoided the unemployment line when the New York Mets fired Carlos Mendoza, but the former Brewers executive is likely only safe because of the reckoning that's on the horizon.
