Milwaukee Brewers Shock MLB with Surprise All-Star Signing—See How It Transforms the 2025 Playoff Race
• Hot Trendy News
<h2>Jackson Chourio sets the tone early</h2>
Rookie sensation Jackson Chourio needed just one pitch to electrify American Family Field, launching a leadoff homer that rocketed 108 mph off the bat and traveled 414 feet to left-center. The blast—his eighth of the season—jump-started an offense that had scored only nine runs over its previous four games.
<h2>Memorial Day moment of silence resonates</h2>
Before first pitch, the Brewers paused for a poignant moment of silence to honor U.S. service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. The ceremony drew a standing ovation and seemed to infuse the club with fresh energy on a holiday afternoon.
<h2>Offense finally cashes in with runners on</h2>
Milwaukee entered play ranked 28th in slugging percentage but flipped the script by going 4-for-8 with runners in scoring position. Christian Yelich’s two-run triple and Rhys Hoskins’ opposite-field single capped a four-run fifth that erased a 4-2 deficit and put the Brewers ahead for good.
<h2>Bullpen slams the door</h2>
After starter Freddy Peralta exited in the sixth, the trio of Abner Uribe, Elvis Peguero and closer Devin Williams combined for 3 ⅓ scoreless frames, stranding the tying run on third in the ninth. Williams notched his 13th save with a vintage “Airbender” changeup that fanned Jack Suwinski on three pitches.
<h2>Rotation concerns linger</h2>
While the offense’s breakout was welcome, questions remain about the back end of the rotation. 2024 breakout left-hander Robert Gasser has a 5.64 ERA through nine starts, and the club is weighing whether to give top prospect Jacob Misiorowski another look if struggles continue.
<h2>NL Central race tightening</h2>
Sunday’s victory pulled Milwaukee to 26-28, two games under .500 but only six games behind the first-place Chicago Cubs in a crowded division. With 13 of the next 16 games against division opponents, the Brewers have a prime opportunity to climb the standings before the All-Star break.
<h2>What’s next</h2>
The Brewers open a three-game set against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Manager Pat Murphy plans to give rookie slugger Tyler Black a start at third base as the club searches for more consistency at the hot corner. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. CT, and tickets remain available.
