Brew Crew BallNLCS Game 3 Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (2-0) @ Los Angeles Dodgers (0-2)
The Brewers bring a 2-0 series lead to Los Angeles for Game 3 of the NLCS, where they'll face Dodgers starter Blake Snell, a two-time Cy Young winner who dominated Milwaukee last postseason but has pitched sparingly in recent weeks. The Brewers counter with lefty Robert Gasser, who has performed well down the stretch and in the playoffs. Milwaukee's lineup includes Andrew Vaughn as DH in place of Christian Yelich to match up against the left-handed Snell, while the Dodgers have dropped Shohei Ohtani to sixth in the batting order despite his recent improvements.
Brew Crew BallBrewers news: Brandon Woodruff update, Shohei Ohtani benching decision, Blake Snell's pre-start comments
The Brewers hold a 2-0 series lead over the defending champion Dodgers in the NLCS, a position unprecedented in franchise history across their five previous League Championship Series appearances. Brandon Woodruff threw a 31-pitch bullpen session and reported his stuff felt "pretty good" as he continues rehabbing a shoulder injury with hopes of returning for a potential World Series appearance, though his availability remains unlikely. Dave Roberts is considering benching four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani, and the Brewers will start Robert Gasser in Game 3 as they aim to close out the series quickly.
Reviewing the BrewDodgers reportedly considering drastic Shohei Ohtani move after slow start to NLCS rematch with Brewers
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is considering benching four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani for Game 3 of the NLCS against Milwaukee after Ohtani went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's Game 2 loss. Ohtani has struggled significantly in the postseason, collecting just three singles in 20 at-bats with seven strikeouts and no RBIs or extra-base hits through six games, while dealing with lingering knee and biceps injuries from the regular season. Roberts stated he plans to discuss the situation with Ohtani to determine what's best for both the player and the team. The Dodgers trail 0-2 in the series and face Game 3 against left-hander Robert Gasser, against whom Ohtani is 0-for-7 with four strikeouts in his career.
Reviewing the BrewContreras slugs Brewers to Game 2 win and commanding series lead over Dodgers
William Contreras delivered three game-tying or go-ahead hits to lead the Brewers to a 7-4 victory over the Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS, giving Milwaukee a commanding 2-0 series lead. The game remained competitive through five innings with both teams trading runs, but the Brewers pulled away with insurance runs in the eighth inning. The Brewers' bullpen was dominant after the fifth inning, allowing no baserunners over the final four innings. Robert Gasser will start Game 3 in Los Angeles as the Brewers look to move within one win of the World Series.
Brew Crew BallBrewers stray from NLDS strategy with Game 3 starting pitcher assignment in NLCS
Manager Pat Murphy initially chose Dustin May for Game 3 of the NLDS against San Diego, prioritizing postseason experience over Robert Gasser's superior consistency and recent performance. After May struggled in that game while Gasser impressed in Game 4, Murphy reversed course and named Gasser the Game 3 starter for the NLCS. Since late August, Gasser has allowed no more than two earned runs in any start and the Brewers have won seven of his last eight outings.
Reviewing the BrewPat Murphy faces familiar Game 3 starter decision in Brewers' NLCS rematch with Dodgers
The Brewers face a familiar decision with manager Pat Murphy choosing between Dustin May and rookie Robert Gasser for Game 3 of their NLCS rematch against the Dodgers. In the recent NLDS against San Diego, Murphy started May in Game 3 and Gasser in Game 4, with May allowing two runs over three innings and Gasser giving up one run over four innings. May has a 3.20 career ERA at Dodger Stadium with one appearance against Los Angeles this season, while Gasser has faced the Dodgers twice in 2026, posting a strong 2.00 ERA in his August outing at their stadium. Murphy may repeat his NLDS strategy of using the veteran May on the road while giving Gasser a chance to observe before pitching, though both pitchers operated on short leashes previously.

MLB.com Brewers3 reasons to believe this year's Brewers-Dodgers NLCS matchup will end differently than last year's
The Brewers face the Dodgers in the NLCS for the second consecutive year after defeating the Padres in the NLDS. Last year Milwaukee was swept in four games while scoring just four total runs, but this year their pitching staff is significantly stronger, led by NL Cy Young front-runner Jacob Misiorowski, who had the best single-season performance by a Brewers pitcher in franchise history. The rotation is also deeper than last year, with rookie Logan Henderson, Dustin May, and Robert Gasser providing additional options beyond Misiorowski, along with arms like Shane Drohan and Kyle Harrison available for the series.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers extinguish red-hot Padres, advance to NLCS for second consecutive year
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the San Diego Padres 3-1 in Game 4 to advance to the National League Championship Series for the second consecutive year. 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.
Reviewing the BrewNLCS Bound: Strong pitching, home run robbery by Mitchell leads Brewers to Game 4 win
The Brewers defeated the Padres 3-1 in Game 4 to advance to the NLCS, clinching the series in four games. 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. Garrett Mitchell drove in a run with a single in the third inning and later made a spectacular leaping catch in the ninth to rob Manny Machado of a potential game-tying home run. The Brewers scored their other runs on a Chourio single in the fifth and a Frelick sacrifice fly in the sixth.
Brew Crew BallNLDS Game 4 Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (2-1) @ San Diego Padres (1-2)
The Brewers hold a 2-1 series lead and will start Robert Gasser against Walker Buehler as they seek to advance to the NLCS in Game 4. Gasser has pitched well recently with a 1.67 ERA over his last six starts, while Buehler carries a 4.63 regular season ERA but has historically performed better against Milwaukee. The Brewers have rested several relievers and made minor lineup adjustments, while the Padres face potential availability questions with Adrian Morejon's status uncertain.
Brew Crew BallBrewers' postseason history against Padres' Game 4 starter Walker Buehler is a good omen
The Brewers face the Padres in Game 4 of their NLDS matchup, with Milwaukee needing a win to advance to the NLCS after losing Game 3 by one run. Robert Gasser will make his first postseason start for the Brewers against Walker Buehler, the Padres' 32-year-old right-hander who posted a 4.63 ERA this season. The Brewers have historical success against Buehler, having defeated him 4-0 in Game 3 of the 2018 NLCS when he pitched for the Dodgers—the last time Milwaukee won a road playoff game.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers' Game 4 starter decision could undo one of the worst trades in franchise history
The Brewers face Game 4 of their NLDS against the Padres after losing a close Game 3 that kept San Diego alive in the series. Manager Pat Murphy is considering Chad Patrick or Robert Gasser as the bulk pitcher for Wednesday's game, with Gasser appearing to be the favored option after a strong recent stretch. Gasser is a notable choice because he's the only remaining player from the Brewers' infamous 2022 trade deadline deal that sent All-Star closer Josh Hader to San Diego in exchange for four players, most of whom quickly disappointed or departed Milwaukee. If Gasser performs well in Game 4, it would represent a redemptive outcome from what has been regarded as one of the franchise's worst trades.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers favor experience in naming Dustin May NLDS Game 3 starter
Manager Pat Murphy selected Dustin May to start Game 3 of the NLDS against San Diego on Tuesday night, prioritizing postseason experience over rookie Robert Gasser despite May's weaker September numbers. May has nine playoff appearances including three starts, while Gasser has minimal postseason experience with only 2.2 relief innings. May also brings familiarity with Petco Park, where he has pitched 47.2 innings with a 3.02 ERA and recently threw a seven-inning gem against the Padres in August.
Reviewing the BrewHow matchup with Padres could impact Brewers' NLDS pitching strategy
The Brewers and Padres are meeting in the postseason for the first time despite both teams' frequent playoff appearances in recent years. San Diego's lineup features several strong right-handed hitters, including Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Xander Bogaerts, who have all performed well against left-handed pitching, which could influence Milwaukee's roster construction and pitching strategy. The Padres demonstrated this strength by hitting three home runs off left-hander Matthew Boyd in their Wild Card Series against the Cubs. Manager Pat Murphy may opt to rely more heavily on right-handed starters and fewer left-handed relievers, making the decision between Dustin May and Robert Gasser for Game 3 particularly significant.
Reviewing the Brew2026 Brewers Week in Review: Week 27
Jacob Misiorowski capped off an exceptional season by allowing no runs over 5 1/3 innings with five strikeouts in Sunday's regular-season finale, earning his 16th win and leading the league in strikeouts (252), WHIP (0.80), batting average against (.157), and ERA (1.80). Robert Gasser also impressed down the stretch, pitching six innings with one run and nine strikeouts as a likely postseason starter. Brice Turang had a standout week with nine hits including two homers and three doubles, driving in seven runs to finish with over 20 homers and 100 RBIs for the season. Jackson Chourio contributed eight hits with a .471/.550/.647 line, adding a homer, five RBIs, and seven runs scored while stealing two bases to finish with career highs of 25 homers and 23 steals.

The victory marked Milwaukee's 101st win of the regular season.
Brew Crew BallGame Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (100-59) vs St. Louis Cardinals (77-82)
The Brewers return home having already clinched the NL Central for the fourth straight year, the best record in baseball, a bye to the NLDS, and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. While the standings hold no remaining significance, manager Pat Murphy emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and momentum heading into the postseason. Robert Gasser takes the mound for Milwaukee seeking to solidify his case for a spot in the NLDS rotation after throwing seven shutout innings against Baltimore in his last start. The Cardinals will counter with Michael McGreevy, who carries a 3.84 ERA through 30 starts this season.
