Where things stand
Garrett Mitchell has been a key contributor to the Brewers' 2026 postseason run, which culminated in the team reaching the World Series for the first time since 1982. The center fielder stayed healthy for a full regular season after injuries limited him to just 141 combined games from 2022-2025, and he delivered clutch performances in October, including a go-ahead solo homer in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Dodgers and a game-saving catch against Manny Machado in the NLDS. Mitchell also went 2-for-4 with a triple and RBI single in the Brewers' series-clinching victory over San Diego in the NLDS.

The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2026 NLCS to advance to the World Series for the first time since 1982, ending the Dodgers' bid for a third consecutive title. Manager Pat Murphy's team, which hit only the second-fewest home runs during the regular season, transformed into a power-hitting squad in the postseason, leading all teams with 10 homers. Garrett Mitchell's go-ahead solo homer in Game 4 proved decisive, with homers playing crucial roles in each of the Brewers' four consecutive victories over Los Angeles.
Reviewing the BrewBlake Snell’s pregame comments come back to bite him in most satisfying way for Brewers fans
Blake Snell suggested before Game 3 of the NLCS that the Brewers might struggle mentally when facing adversity, but Milwaukee responded by scoring four runs in the seventh inning to take the lead. Jake Bauers battled Snell for 11 pitches before hitting a go-ahead two-run homer, followed by Garrett Mitchell's solo shot off a missed changeup. The Brewers, who had recorded five come-from-behind wins in their first seven postseason games, proved they could handle pressure rather than let their focus slip as Snell had predicted.
Reviewing the BrewThe glue that’s been holding it all together: Garrett Mitchell
Garrett Mitchell finally stayed healthy for a full 2026 season, playing 145 games for the Milwaukee Brewers after injuries limited him to just 141 games combined from 2022-2025. The center fielder posted solid defense with three errors and made key postseason contributions, including a go-ahead home run in recent games, though he struck out 12 times in the playoffs. Manager Pat Murphy noted that Mitchell's injury history had created uncertainty about the team's potential, but his availability this year allowed the Brewers to field their intended homegrown outfield alongside Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick.

Jake Bauers hit an 11-pitch home run off Blake Snell in the seventh inning to give the Brewers a 3-2 victory in Game Three of the NLCS, putting Milwaukee one win away from reaching the World Series for the first time in 44 years. Jackson Chourio homered on the game's first pitch, and Garrett Mitchell added another home run, while starter Robert Gasser pitched five scoreless innings for the Brewers. The Dodgers had taken a 2-1 lead on Will Smith's two-run double in the sixth inning before Bauers' heroics turned the game around.

MLB.com BrewersThe other Brewers outfielder who has quietly been incredibly clutch in his first two postseasons
Garrett Mitchell, the Brewers' 28-year-old center fielder, has emerged as a clutch performer in his limited postseason experience alongside Jackson Chourio. In Game 4 of the 2026 NLDS against San Diego, Mitchell went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI single, accounting for two of the Brewers' three runs in their series-clinching victory. He also made a crucial defensive play by robbing Manny Machado of a potential game-tying two-run homer in the eighth inning. Mitchell's performance follows a similar pattern from 2024, when he hit a go-ahead two-run homer in a Wild Card Series game against the Mets.
Reviewing the BrewGarrett Mitchell’s game-saving catch spurs moment of déjà vu for Brewers’ foe Manny Machado
The Milwaukee Brewers advanced to the NLCS as the No. 1 National League seed for the second straight year by defeating the San Diego Padres, with Garrett Mitchell's catch against the center field wall in Game 4's eighth inning proving decisive in preserving a 3-1 lead. Mitchell's robbery of Manny Machado echoed a similar moment from the 2017 World Baseball Classic when Adam Jones made a catch on Machado at the same ballpark. The Brewers' victory over a hot Padres team featuring Fernando Tatis Jr. and Machado sets up a rematch with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, a series the Brewers lost decisively last year.
Reviewing the BrewBreaking T releases new “Garrett Mitchell Home Run Robbery” & “Believe” shirts

One shirt commemorates Garrett Mitchell's eighth-inning home run robbery that preserved Milwaukee's advance to the NLCS, while the other features a "Believe" design reflecting fan optimism about the team's championship prospects. The Brewers will face the Dodgers in the League Championship Series for the second consecutive year.
Brew Crew BallUnsung hero from Brewers' NLDS victory over Padres creates difficult lineup decision going forward
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the San Diego Padres 3-1 in the NLDS, with standout performances from Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, Aaron Ashby, and Garrett Mitchell. Outfielder Sal Frelick emerged as an unsung hero despite not starting Game 1, collecting hits in all three games he played while scoring two runs, driving in two runs, drawing two walks, and stealing a base with just one strikeout. Frelick's strong performance creates a difficult decision for manager Pat Murphy heading into the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, as the 26-year-old has proven he deserves regular at-bats against right-handed pitchers despite being benched initially to start rookie Luis Lara against left-handed starter Robbie Ray in Game 1.

Garrett Mitchell drove in the go-ahead run with an RBI single in the third inning, and Jackson Chourio added another RBI single in the fifth to extend the lead. Starter Robert Gasser allowed just one run over four innings, while reliever Aaron Ashby pitched three scoreless innings to secure the victory. The Brewers won the series after taking the first two games at home, then losing Game 3 before closing out the Padres in San Diego.

Brewers pitcher Robert Gasser allowed just one run on three hits over four innings, while the bullpen was equally dominant in keeping the Padres' offense in check.

Brew Crew BallGame Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (94-57) @ Pittsburgh Pirates (75-76)
The Brewers visit Pittsburgh a day after clinching their fourth consecutive NL Central title, still pursuing the top overall National League record and home-field advantage throughout the postseason. Logan Henderson starts for Milwaukee seeking to extend his streak of allowing no more than three runs in any start this season, while Pirates pitcher Jared Jones has been dominant in September with 17 strikeouts across two starts and no runs allowed. Garrett Mitchell was scratched from the Brewers lineup due to neck tightness, with Luis Lara taking his place in center field alongside Jackson Chourio and Jake Bauers in the outfield.
Brew Crew BallThe Brewers’ offense has hit another gear
The Brewers have ranked last in home runs for most of the season while relying on hitting consistency, speed, and situational hitting to rank second in runs scored. However, in September they've dramatically shifted their approach, hitting 19 home runs in 12 games to tie for third in the league while maintaining a .874 OPS, the best in baseball by 53 points. Seven different Brewers regulars have posted an OPS above .942 this month, with improvements from players like Joey Ortiz and Garrett Mitchell providing lineup depth that was lacking earlier in the season. The team's recent offensive surge comes at an opportune time heading into the playoffs, though the Brewers will face stiffer competition once the postseason begins.
Brew Crew BallBrewers clobber their way past Reds again 13-9
The Brewers defeated the Reds 13-9 behind a dominant offensive performance led by Garrett Mitchell, who went 4-for-5 with four RBIs. Milwaukee scored four runs in the first inning on home runs from Brice Turang and Mitchell, then added six more in the fifth inning to build a commanding lead. The Reds mounted a comeback attempt with Juan Brito's three-run homer and four runs in the eighth inning off struggling reliever Kyle Harrison, but the Brewers' offense proved too much. The victory reduced Milwaukee's magic number to clinch the division to three games.
