Caleb Durbin #21 of the Milwaukee Brewers celebrate 3 run home with Brice Turang #2 , Brandon Lockridge #20 and Andruw Monasterio #14 of the Milwaukee Brewers during the eleventh inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on August 16, 2025 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Overview

  • Freddy Peralta allowed one hit over six innings with six strikeouts for an MLB-leading 15th victory as Brice Turang and Caleb Durbin each homered in the opener at Wrigley.
  • Milwaukee improved to 79-45 and has won 23 of 28 since the All-Star break after a 14-game winning streak ended Sunday.
  • The scheduled nightcap was postponed due to weather, creating a Tuesday day-night doubleheader with Chad Patrick vs. Matthew Boyd in the opener and Brandon Woodruff slated to face Jameson Taillon in the evening.
  • By taking Game 1, Milwaukee gained the upper hand in a five-game set that will decide the season series and, if needed, the NL Central tiebreaker.
  • Chicago’s lineup woes persisted, and manager Craig Counsell said Kyle Tucker will get multiple days off to reset after hitting .182 since the break.
