History, Comments, Contributions

The 2025 Milwaukee Brewers seemed to have forgotten to bring their pitchers north from Arizona when the season started, as they set all sorts of negative records through their first four games. The problems began in earnest after a relatively unremarkable 4-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Opening Day, March 27th, although Freddy Peralta surrendering a homer to Austin Wells, the Yankees' lead-off hitter, in the 1st inning should have been seen as a sign of things to come. In their next game on March 29th, the Yankees went deep on each of off-season acquisition Nestor Cortes first three pitches for a first in major league history, and ended up with a team record 9 homers on the day in a 20-9 beatdown, one shy of the all-time major league mark. More fireworks followed in a 12-3 loss the next day, and things did not improve when they played their home opener against the Kansas City Royals on March 31st, with the final score an 11-0 loss. Over a three-game stretch, the Brewers' pitchers had surrendered 43 runs on 41 hits in 25 innings, with 17 walks and 15 homers allowed. But the pitching finally showed up in Game 5, as five pitchers combined to shut out the Royals, 5-0, on April 1st, and in a four-game stretch, they allowed just 4 runs - only one of which was earned - as the Brewers evened their record at 4-4. That included Cortes picking up his first win as a Brewer after blanking the Cincinnati Reds on one hit over six innings on April 3rd. One could forgive the Brewers' fans from suffering a bad case of whiplash.
