Brewers Game Thriller: Walk-Off Win, Key Highlights & Player Reactions

MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers and Miami Marlins are delivering another nail-biter at American Family Field this afternoon, and every search for “Brewers game” is zeroing in on a contest that could decide whether Milwaukee gets swept at home. Through eight innings the Brewers trailed 2-1, but first-baseman Andrew Vaughn shot a 106-mph liner to deep center that hopped over the wall for a ground-rule double, plating pinch-runner Blake Perkins to knot the score 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth. That blast came moments after Perkins stole second, a heads-up swipe that proved critical once Vaughn delivered. Jackson Chourio kept his torrid pace, slapping an RBI double in the third to extend his hitting streak to 20 games—the longest by a Brewer since Ryan Braun’s 22-gamer in 2011 and only the sixth 20-plus streak in franchise history. Chourio’s historic run has become a must-click topic for fans searching “Chourio hitting streak” and “Brewers rookie record.” Right-hander Brandon Woodruff, making just his third start since returning from the injured list, turned in another quality outing: six innings, two runs, six strikeouts. His lone mistake was a 354-foot solo homer to Heriberto Hernandez in the fourth that briefly put Miami ahead 2-1. Woodruff’s ERA still sits at a sparkling 2.01. While the Brewers’ rotation delivered, the offense again struggled in clutch spots—Milwaukee stranded eight men through eight frames—and that storyline continues to dominate searches like “Why can’t the Brewers score runners in scoring position?” The Marlins opened the game with classic small ball: leadoff man Xavier Edwards doubled on the first pitch, advanced on a grounder and scored on Kyle Stowers’ soft single for a 1-0 first-inning lead. Miami starter Eury Pérez matched Woodruff pitch-for-pitch, mixing a 98-mph heater with a biting slider to keep Milwaukee quiet until Vaughn’s late heroics. As of press time the Brewers are batting in the bottom of the ninth with the winning run 90 feet away in a 2-2 game; fans can follow the live scoreboard here. A walk-off would snap Milwaukee’s two-game skid and preserve a share of first place in the NL Central, where they entered the day tied with Chicago. A loss would give Miami its first three-game road sweep of the season and send the Brewers into Monday’s showdown with the Cubs trailing in the standings.
