@MLB

Through 8 outings, Josh Hader - now 6-for-6 in save chances - has yet to allow a run or a hit as opponents are 0-for-25 with 5 walks, a HBP, and 13 strikeouts.

Spotted this current
#Brewers
TV analyst and former reliever outside my office today shortly after we announced the
@JohnAxford
trade.
@DimTillard
trying to drop a hint?
To advance to the World Series, the

need 2 wins at Miller Park, where they were a National League-best 51-30 during the regular season.

@Burnes16
strikes out the side in the third inning and now has 36 strikeouts without a walk to begin a season, the most in the majors by a starting pitcher since 1893.
#Brewers
With the addition of Omar Narváez, the
#Brewers
now have a franchise-record five All-Stars for the third time, all consecutively: 2018, 2019 and 2021 (no game in 2020).
Craig Counsell will not manage the
#Brewers
this afternoon in order to attend the high school graduation of his son, Brady, who is a member of the Whitefish Bay baseball team and will play at the University of Minnesota. Bench coach Pat Murphy will manage today.
Craig Counsell (499-456) is 1 win from 500 for his managerial career. He would join Phil Garner (563-617) as the only managers in franchise history to reach that milestone.
#Brewers
Forget about being an All-Star!
