\"Milwaukee<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Chad Patrick loses control in the fifth<\/p>\n

Leadoff walks are a bad idea. Three of them? A recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Sal Frelick snaps the drought<\/p>\n

For the first time since April 18, a Brewers hitter left the park.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>. That was the longest streak by the Brewers since going a franchise-record 13 straight from Aug. 9-22, 1999.<\/p>\n

Joey Ortiz pushes lead to three<\/p>\n

For only the second time this year, Joey Ortiz came up with a two-out, run-scoring hit.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
