Where things stand
Trevor Megill remains a key part of the Brewers' dominant bullpen as the team advances through the postseason, though manager Pat Murphy has shown flexibility in his usage based on matchups. In Game 2 of the NLCS, Murphy kept Aaron Ashby in the game for both the eighth and ninth innings despite having Megill available, prioritizing the left-handed pitcher's effectiveness against Dodgers left-handers Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy. Megill closed out Game 1 of the NLCS and has been a cornerstone of Milwaukee's relief corps, leading the team with 30 saves during the regular season and converting his last 20 save opportunities.

How Pat Murphy’s Game 2 Aaron Ashby gamble changes Brewers’ pitching plan going forward
Manager Pat Murphy has adjusted his bullpen usage in the postseason, moving Abner Uribe from a traditional eighth-inning role to high-leverage matchups against opposing right-handers. In Game 2 of the NLCS, Murphy kept Aaron Ashby in the game for both the eighth and ninth innings despite having closer Trevor Megill available, a decision based on matchups with left-handed Dodgers batters Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy. Ashby retired all three batters he faced in the ninth to secure the save and extend Milwaukee's series lead to 2-0. The Brewers' bullpen has been dominant through six playoff games, allowing just one earned run across 28.2 innings.

Brew Crew BallWhat makes the Brewers' 2026 bullpen so tough to match up against
The Milwaukee Brewers' bullpen dominated in their four-game NLDS victory over San Diego, allowing just one earned run across 19 innings while striking out 11 batters. Manager Pat Murphy's core relievers—Trevor Megill, Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and DL Hall—combined for 15 scoreless innings, with each pitcher offering a distinct arm slot and pitch arsenal that creates difficult matchups for opposing hitters. The group's diversity includes high-slot righties and lefties with vertical movement, low-slot pitchers relying on horizontal movement, and complementary arms like JoJo Romero, making it difficult for opponents to find favorable at-bats regardless of their handedness.

MLB.com BrewersBrewers benefit from fluke play, take Game 1 of NLDS in nail-biter
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the San Diego Padres 3-2 in Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday when a controversial play in the ninth inning went their way. With one out and the Brewers leading, Padres first baseman Ty France hit a towering fly ball down the left field line that struck the retractable roof cable at American Family Field and was caught by Jackson Chourio for the second out. Padres manager Craig Stammen challenged whether the ball had struck the roof in fair or foul territory, but the challenge was unsuccessful and the play stood as an out. Brewers closer Trevor Megill then recorded the final out to secure the victory, though Stammen believed France's ball would have been a home run based on exit velocity and launch angle.

Megill is fully healthy this season after missing September last year with an injury, and has converted his last 20 save opportunities, while Aaron Ashby is performing better than he did a year ago.

Since mid-May, when his ERA stood at 6.00 and he had lost the closer role to Abner Uribe, Megill has posted a 0.70 ERA over 38.1 innings with 40 strikeouts, reclaiming his position as the team's closer and restoring his fastball velocity that had been diminished by a forearm flexor strain.

MLB.com BrewersTrevor Megill's incredible streak continues as Brewers cap series win over Mariners
Trevor Megill has been dominant for the Milwaukee Brewers since late July, retiring 30 of 31 batters faced with the only baserunner coming from an intentional walk. The All-Star closer has not allowed a hit in nine consecutive appearances and has converted 19 of 20 save opportunities since May 12, posting a 0.82 ERA over that span. Megill earned another save in the Brewers' series-clinching win over Seattle, with help from center fielder Garrett Mitchell's defensive plays. The turnaround is particularly impressive given that Megill struggled early in the season with a 6.00 ERA in May before recovering from concerns about a lingering flexor strain.
