Brewers Aim to Douse Twins' Fire in Milwaukee Showdown

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host the Minnesota Twins at American Family Field on May 18, 2025, at 2:10 PM EDT. With recent performances showing a mix of strengths and weaknesses, the Brew Crew is gearing up for an intense clash against the Twinkies.

Brewers' Recent Performance


The Brewers have shown a resilient spirit in their recent games against the Tampa Bay Rays. On May 11, they secured a victory with a solid performance from both their hitters and pitchers. The Brew Crew managed to score 4 runs on 7 hits without committing any errors. Their pitching staff was particularly impressive, maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of just 2.0 and allowing only 8 hits over nine innings.


However, consistency has been an issue for MIL this season. In their game on May 9 against TB, they fell short despite scoring early in the game and ended up losing by one run due to defensive lapses that resulted in three errors. This inconsistency could be detrimental if not addressed before facing MIN.

Twins' Challenge


The Minnesota Twins come into this matchup with determination after observing MIL's vulnerabilities during their series with TB. The Twinkies will likely focus on exploiting any defensive weaknesses shown by MIL while relying on key players like Carlos Correa to lead their offensive charge.


MIN's strategy might involve aggressive base running given that MIL allowed two stolen bases without catching any runners in one of their recent games against TB (May 10). Additionally, MIN will aim to capitalize on any pitching inconsistencies from MIL’s bullpen which showed signs of struggle under pressure situations earlier this month.
