Brewers Aim for Sixth Straight Series Win Against Twins Tonight

The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to extend their winning streak to six series as they face the Minnesota Twins tonight, following a thrilling come-from-behind victory in their last game. The Twins, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing six of their last eight series since mid-April, making this matchup crucial for both teams.

Young pitching will be a focal point in this second game of the series, with the Brewers starting Logan Henderson for his fourth outing of the season. Henderson has shown consistency, allowing at least two runs in each of his starts while managing to keep walks to a minimum, recording at least one walk in two of his three appearances.

For the Twins, rookie left-hander Connor Prielipp takes the mound. The 25-year-old has impressed in 2026, boasting a 3.32 ERA over 19 innings with 21 strikeouts in his first four games. However, his last outing was a tough one, as he allowed four runs to the Cleveland Guardians, highlighting the challenges he faces as a young pitcher in the majors.

Despite not having pitching as a weak link this season, the Brewers are beginning to regain their health as the year progresses. While there’s been no official announcement, Robert Gasser has returned to the team for the first time this season, seen with a locker in the Twin Cities. Gasser faced setbacks last year after multiple stints on the 60-day injured list, and his presence could bolster the Brewers’ rotation.

In roster moves, after a stellar performance last night, Coleman Crow has been optioned back to Triple-A, making way for Peter Strezlecki, who has been recalled from there. Strezlecki, who rejoined the Brewers in February after a successful 2025 season with the Durham Bulls, had an impressive rookie year in 2022, appearing in 30 games with a 2.83 ERA.

As for the lineup, Christian Yelich will sit out for the fourth consecutive game. With a left-handed pitcher on the mound for the Twins, Brice Turang and Sal Frelick will be the only lefties in tonight’s batting order, setting the stage for an intriguing contest.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. on the Brewers Radio Network and Brewers.TV.
