In what's becoming a familiar and thrilling script, the Milwaukee Brewers showcased their winning formula on Wednesday night: dominant starting pitching and timely power. Quinn Priester was masterful on the mound, and young phenom Jackson Chourio provided the early fireworks in a convincing 4-1 victory against the Atlanta Braves, proving once again that the future is bright, and the present is pretty darn good too.
The Brewers are now a staggering 31-7 this season when they score four or more runs.
Quinn Priester put on a clinic against a tough Braves lineup, delivering one of his best starts of the season. Over six strong innings, the right-hander allowed just a single run while striking out seven and, most impressively, issuing zero walks. Priester was in complete command, efficiently working through the Atlanta order on 96 pitches to earn his fourth win. It was a statement performance that should give Brewers fans immense confidence in the rotation's depth.
The offense was powered by the long ball, courtesy of two of the team's key sluggers. Top prospect Jackson Chourio got the party started in the third inning, launching a majestic 409-foot, two-run homer that gave the Brewers a lead they would never relinquish. Not to be outdone, Jake Bauers led off the sixth with an absolute moonshot, a 434-foot blast to straightaway center that pushed the lead to 3-1. It's a testament to the Brewers' farm system, which continues to churn out impact players like Chourio, that the offense can explode at any moment.
Even with veteran leader Christian Yelich getting a well-deserved night off after a tough series opener, the Brewers' offense didn't miss a beat. The team showed its depth, manufacturing another run in the seventh when William Contreras worked a crucial bases-loaded walk. Trevor Megill came on to lock it down in the ninth, earning his 13th save. Winning comfortably without a star player in the lineup speaks volumes about this team's resilience and 'next man up' mentality.
This victory was more than just another notch in the win column; it was a snapshot of the Brewers' identity in 2025. With young arms like Priester dealing and rising stars like Chourio providing the power, this team is built to win now and for years to come. As they continue their series against the Braves, look for Yelich to return refreshed and for the rest of the Crew to build on this powerful performance.
