News - Brewers compete against Pirates to avoid a five-game losing streak.

In pursuit of halting a potential five-game losing streak, the Milwaukee Brewers face off against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the decisive final game of their three-match series on Sunday, April 26, at American Family Field. Set to pitch are left-handed Kyle Harrison for the Brewers, boasting a 1-1 record with a 3.06 ERA, against Pirates' right-handed Carmen Mlodzinski, who also holds a 1-1 record complemented by a 3.28 ERA. The previous string of losses for Milwaukee extended beyond four consecutive games dating back to June 6 through June 14, 2023, where they were engaged in a six-game losing streak. The Brewers hope to avert a repeat of such extended downtrends this season. This Sunday showdown will be broadcast on Brewers.TV starting at 1:10 p.m. The lineup for the Brewers includes a selection of strategic players led by second baseman Brice Turang, catcher William Contreras, and first baseman Jake Bauers, accompanied by a mix of talent across positions like designated hitter Gary Sánchez, center fielder Garrett Mitchell, right fielder Sal Frelick, third baseman Luis Rengifo, shortstop David Hamilton, and left fielder Brandon Lockridge. The Pirates, on the other hand, bring their A-game with leadoff Jake Mangum in left field, Nick Gonzales at second base, and power-hitting Bryan Reynolds holding the fort in right field, supplemented by designated hitter Marcell Ozuna. After an off day on Monday, April 27, the Brewers will continue their competitive ventures against the Pirates. Games are scheduled on April 28 with a starting pitch from Milwaukee's Chad Patrick (RHP) at 6:40 p.m., and on April 29 and 30 with tentative lineups, all being featured live on Brewers.TV and broadcasted through AM-620 WTMJ radio.
