StatPro MLB Beat Reporter
The Milwaukee Brewers are officially rolling. In a stunning display of complete baseball, the Brew Crew dismantled the Minnesota Twins 9-0 on Sunday, securing their third straight win and a series sweep. From Jose Quintana's masterful performance on the mound to an offense that fired on all cylinders, it was a statement victory that pushed the team to a season-best seven games over .500.
Isaac Collins delivered the final blow in the ninth, capping a 2-for-5, 3-RBI day that showcased the depth of Milwaukee's red-hot lineup.
Veteran lefty Jose Quintana was the star of the show, tossing six scoreless innings to completely shut down the Twins' bats. It wasn't a perfect start, as 'Q' issued four walks to the first 11 batters he faced, creating some early tension. But he quickly settled into a groove, retiring 11 of the final 13 hitters he saw while allowing just three hits all day. It was a gutsy performance that set the tone and gave the Brewers' offense the runway it needed to take off.
The Brewers' offense didn't waste any time, jumping on the board with two runs in the first inning thanks to sparks from Sal Frelick and Christian Yelich. The pressure was relentless. Jackson Chourio and Yelich drove in more runs in the second, and the hits kept coming from everyone. Brice Turang, Rhys Hoskins, and Joey Ortiz all contributed to the hit parade. The standout, however, was Isaac Collins, who capped the scoring with a two-run double in the ninth, finishing his day with three crucial RBIs. The Brewers even capitalized on sloppy Twins defense, including a costly three-base error by Harrison Bader, proving they can win in every phase of the game.
This win wasn't just another notch in the belt; it was a significant one. At 42-35, the Brewers are now a season-high seven games over .500 and are firmly holding onto second place in the NL Central. This three-game win streak provides critical momentum as the season's midway point approaches. A key piece of that success has been the continued development of young star Jackson Chourio. Following up his impressive 2024 Rookie of the Year campaign, Chourio's consistent contributions—like his sacrifice fly on Sunday—are a testament to his talent and a major reason for the team's sustained success.
With momentum firmly on their side and the team clicking on all cylinders, the Brewers look like a serious contender. They've shown they can win with pitching, power, and opportunistic baserunning. The challenge now is to carry this high level of play into the next series and continue solidifying their position in the playoff hunt. If Sunday's performance is any indication, this team is just getting started.
