The Milwaukee Brewers begin a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 28 at American Family Field.
Follow along for live updates as Chad Patrick starts on the mound for the Brewers against Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Chad Patrick throws during the first inning of their game against the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Chad Patrick loses control in the fifth
Leadoff walks are a bad idea. Three of them? A recipe for disaster.
After four straight crisp, dominant innings, Patrick lost control of the zone to begin the fifth inning, walking Adrian Del Castillo, Jose Fernandez and Nolan Arenado. James McCann delivered a one-out single to left to cut the Brewers’ lead to 3-2, but all things considered it could have been worse.
Alek Thomas recorded the first out with a screamer that found the glove of a leaping Brice Turang for the first one. Then, following McCann’s hit, Ildemaro Vargas bunted into an out and Ketel Marte hit a hot shot on the ground that Jake Bauers took care of at first.
Sal Frelick snaps the drought
For the first time since April 18, a Brewers hitter left the park.
The drought-breaking blast came from an unexpected source, too, as Sal Frelick led off the bottom of the second with a 394-foot shot to right that left the bat at 103.4 mph.
Frelick’s second homer of the year was the first by a Brewer since Brice Turang went deep 10 days prior in the fifth inning against the Miami Marlins. That was the longest streak by the Brewers since going a franchise-record 13 straight from Aug. 9-22, 1999.
Joey Ortiz pushes lead to three
For only the second time this year, Joey Ortiz came up with a two-out, run-scoring hit.
With Brandon Lockridge and Frelick in scoring position after one-out walks, Ortiz took a first-pitch sinker from Merrill Kelly in the fourth and dumped it in front of center fielder Alek Thomas to bring both home.
