Overview
- The Brewers seek a series win after a 3-2 loss in which they went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position.
- All-Star closer Trevor Megill was placed on the 15-day IL with a right flexor strain after logging 30 saves and a 2.54 ERA in 49 outings.
- With Megill out, Abner Uribe and Shelby Miller are candidates for late-inning work, with Jared Koenig available and Rob Zastryzny not yet activated post-rehab.
- Veteran left-hander Jose Quintana (10-4, 3.32 ERA) starts the finale opposite right-hander Nabil Crismatt, who has a 1.00 ERA in a brief 2025 sample including four scoreless relief innings on Aug. 23.
- Milwaukee adjusted its lineup with Sal Frelick leading off, Brice Turang batting cleanup for the first time in his pro career, and Christian Yelich getting the day off.
