• Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs

Matt Marton-Imagn Images Red-hot Crew returns home for first time in second half The Milwaukee Brewers are set to face off with the Chicago Cubs in a three-game set beginning Monday evening at American Family Field, as the two teams will emerge from the series with a leader in the NL Central. Heading into the series, each team sits at 62-43 on the season, comfortably ahead of the Cincinnat...2025

BACK-TO-BACK: The Cubs’ losses to the Royals on Wednesday and to the White Sox last night were the 10th time this season they have suffered back-to-back defeats. They lost three straight games only twice, May 6-9 (two at home to the Giants, then at Miami) and June 22-24 (at home...2025

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images There were a lot of negative WPA scores for the Cubs in this game. Only two Cubs had positive WPA scores in this game, which was pretty much over by the fourth inning. Fangraphs Like I said — over by the fourth inning. After Mike Tauchman’s homer in that inning, the Sox had a 99.4 percent chance of winning. Reminder: Heroe...2025

Photo by Daniel Bartel/Getty Images Yikes. The Cubs knew they could pick up a game on the Brewers in the NL Central standings before this one even started, because the Marlins rallied late in an afternoon contest Friday and defeated Milwaukee 5-1. Welp. The Cubs offense came out flat against Adrian Houser — who, I hope, might be in the Cubs rotation next week — and Shōta Imanaga got hit ea...2025

"Then Ryan Brasier got José Ramirez to fly to center to end the inning."

2024
"The Dodgers are going with reliever Ryan Brasier as their starter for Game 4 of the NL Division Series on Wednesday as they try to avoid elimination against the Padres."

2023
"Dairon Blanco hit a grounder to first but reached when pitcher Ryan Brasier could not handle the throw from Freddie Freeman for an error."

2022
"The New York Yankees might’ve posted their sleepiest loss of the season on Sunday night at Fenway Park, getting blanked 3-0 by Michael Wacha, Ryan Brasier and Garrett Whitlock before packing up their bats — just kidding, they didn’t bring those."

2021
"Ryan Brasier knew what was on the line after he loaded the bases in the seventh inning of a one-run game against the Washington Nationals."

2019
"He also suggested the team feels comfortable with its existing options to handle the ninth inning, naming Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier, Tyler Thorn"

2018
"The Red Sox's much-maligned bullpen did not lack for spark on Saturday night, when Ryan Brasier yelled at Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez for stepping out of the batter's box one too many times during an at-bat in Game 2 of the American League Division Series at Fenway Park."
