Shane Drohan coverage
Brewers strike early, hold on late for 5-3 win over Rangers
The Brewers defeated the Rangers 5-3 for their fourth consecutive win and fifth straight series victory. Jackson Chourio and William Contreras hit solo home runs in the first inning against Rangers starter Cal Quantrill, who had allowed just three runs all month entering the game, and the Brewers added another run in the second to build a 3-0 lead. Brewers pitcher Shane Drohan allowed only one run across five innings while striking out six, and the offense tacked on two more runs in the seventh inning to put the game out of reach despite a late Rangers rally that brought the score to 5-3.

Brew Crew BallLatest MLB power rankings finally give Brewers long-overdue respect
The Milwaukee Brewers have finally reached the top of MLB.com's power rankings after leading baseball with the best record and run differential through late August. With 81 wins already and on pace to exceed 100 for the first time in franchise history, the Brewers have joined the Dodgers, Braves, and Cubs as teams holding the No. 1 spot this season. Their pitching staff ranks third in ERA at 3.25 in the second half, led by Cy Young candidate Jacob Misiorowski alongside Logan Henderson, Shane Drohan, and Aaron Ashby. Recent series victories over the Dodgers and Braves demonstrate their ability to compete with the league's elite teams heading into the playoffs.
Reviewing the BrewColeman Crow's recent Triple-A success should have Brewers considering late-season rotation change
The Brewers face rotation decisions down the stretch with Robert Gasser underperforming and Shane Drohan moving to the bullpen. Coleman Crow, a 25-year-old rookie, has posted an 18.2-inning scoreless streak in Triple-A across three consecutive starts of at least six shutout innings, making him a candidate to fill a rotation spot. Milwaukee enters a demanding 16-game stretch in 16 days against teams including the Cubs, and could use additional depth as Brandon Woodruff's return timeline of five weeks makes him unlikely to impact the regular season. The team may call up Crow in September when rosters expand or potentially demote Gasser to make room.
Reviewing the Brew3 storylines to watch out for in Brewers and Braves' Little League Classic showdown
The Brewers and Braves play tonight in the Little League Classic at Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, with the game airing on ESPN at 6:00 p.m. CT. The Brewers currently lead their season series 3-2 after winning the first two games of this weekend's series, and a victory tonight would secure the season series while a loss would tie it at 3-3. Milwaukee holds a 6.0-game lead in the standings and will start rookie left-hander Shane Drohan against Braves trade deadline acquisition Tyler Mahle.
Reviewing the BrewShane Drohan's surprise relief appearance won't impact Brewers' upcoming rotation plans
The Milwaukee Brewers plan to continue using a six-man rotation for at least one more cycle before shifting Shane Drohan to a long-relief role, as he approaches his career high of 129 innings. Drohan's surprise relief appearance on Tuesday, where he pitched two scoreless innings, was simply a way to delay his next start rather than signal an end to the six-man rotation strategy. The Brewers adopted the six-man rotation during a grueling stretch of 17 games in 17 days and have maintained it with recent additions Dustin May and Kyle Harrison joining the rotation alongside Misiorowski, Henderson, Gasser, and Drohan.
Reviewing the BrewBrewers' upcoming pitching schedule reveals continuation of recent rotation strategy
The Milwaukee Brewers will continue their six-man rotation for one more cycle before moving Shane Drohan back to the bullpen, according to beat writer Curt Hogg. The team adopted the six-man rotation after acquiring Dustin May at the trade deadline and activating Kyle Harrison from the injured list, allowing them to manage workload for young arms during a grueling stretch of games. While the rotation has helped protect their young pitchers from excessive innings, it has strained the bullpen, forcing the team to briefly lose reliever Bryse Wilson to waivers before he re-signed. Misiorowski, Harrison, Henderson, and May are locked into the rotation for the remainder of the season and postseason, with Gasser securing the final spot for now.
Reviewing the BrewShort-handed Brewers' late-game heroics snap losing skid in series opener against Dodgers
The Brewers snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating the Dodgers 5-4 in Thursday's series opener despite dealing with multiple injuries to key players. Milwaukee entered the game short-handed, with Brice Turang sidelined by a left knee injury and Jackson Chourio playing through a thumb injury, but rallied in the ninth inning against Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz to secure the victory. Rookie left-hander Shane Drohan delivered a strong bounce-back performance after a poor outing against Minnesota, allowing just one run through five innings. Jackson Chourio scored the winning run in the ninth as the Brewers overcame a 4-2 deficit to earn what the team considered their best win of the season.
