Final: Cardinals 8, Brewers 5 The bean balls flew. So did a back-breaking Nolan Gorman homer. The Brewers squandered three big opportunities late. Postgame should be interesting. The record: 38-34

Willson Contreras just hit a solo home run and then as he rounded first appeared to either glare at the Brewers dugout or Rhys Hoskins. Couldn't quite tell which, but his attention was certainly toward first.

The Brewers have stranded seven runners the last three innings. The eighth inning was particularly a tough one to swallow, with Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio striking out with the bases loaded.

Sal Frelick is currently batting .298, leading all National League outfielders.

Nestor Cortes said yesterday’s bullpen (his third) went well. He threw 30 pitches without a second up-down. Next up will be another ‘pen with 2 up-downs, then a couple live BPs before going out on rehab.

Garrett Mitchell and Blake Perkins are beginning a rehab assignment with the complex league Brewers today.

The player The Community asked about most? Coleman Crow. The curveball is as advertised. Maybe even better than that. Full breakdown ⬇️ https://t.co/GkRM2aBKGr https://t.co/U77BKF9KzK

Good morning, folks. We're due for another prospect deep dive this week. Let me know which prospect(s) you'd like to read about next in the replies and I'll pick the most asked-about player.

Milwaukee has also placed Daz Cameron on the paternity list. Grant Anderson and Drew Avans have been recalled from AAA.

The Brewers have announced the Aaron Civale for Andrew Vaughn trade, and also optioned Vaughn to Class AAA Nashville.

Debut days are among the most fun at the yard. To see a player live out the day he’s always dreamt of, often with family and friends present, never gets old. Here is the story from yesterday’s memorable debut: https://t.co/q4DMVgljd1

A good night for Crowder College, a junior college in small-town Missouri with under 2,000 full-time students. Not many JuCos — if any — can claim a major league win and save in the same game. https://t.co/w4WF7ck31l

Jacob Misiorowski earned high praise from the skipper after five no-hit innings in his debut. "It certainly bodes well. We saw Woody debut. We saw Peralta debut. We saw Corbin Burnes debut and go up and down and then really get on it. We probably have somebody in the same mold."

As they walked out of the bullpen and the video board showed Jacob Misiorowski, William Contreras leaned in and gave his young hurler some words. “Just enjoy.” I’d say he did. https://t.co/agzxhzaB5J
