It was a tough pill to swallow at American Family Field on Sunday as the Brewers dropped the series finale to the Colorado Rockies, 5-3. Despite another long ball from Christian Yelich, the offense couldn't quite string it together. But while the big-league club stumbled, the future of the franchise sent a resounding message from the minor leagues, proving that even on a day with a loss, there's plenty of reason for Crew fans to be excited.
11 consecutive no-hit innings to start a season. That's not a typo. That's a new Modern Era record for a minor league starting pitcher, set by Brewers' own Jacob Misiorowski.
The Brewers couldn't complete the sweep, falling to the Rockies in a game that felt just out of reach. Christian Yelich continued his solid season, launching his 15th home run and collecting his 59th RBI. Unfortunately, that was one of the few bright spots for the offense. Starter C. Patrick took the loss, moving to 3-7 on the year, after allowing several key hits, including a costly two-run double by Hunter Goodman. A late rally by the Crew fell short, leaving the team with a 45-36 record and a sense of what might have been.
While the Brewers were battling in Milwaukee, top pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski was busy making history. The hard-throwing righty began his minor league season with an astonishing 11 consecutive no-hit innings, a feat no other starting pitcher has accomplished in the Modern Era. This incredible run has turned heads across baseball and serves as a powerful reminder of the elite talent brewing in the Brewers' farm system. It's a silver lining of the highest order.
The good news from the farm doesn't stop with the pitching. Top prospect Jesús Made, ranked No. 55 in all of baseball, is continuing his impressive development. The organization has been aggressive with the young talent, giving him valuable big-league exposure this spring and leaning on the mentorship of Jackson Chourio. While the front office is carefully balancing his rapid advancement to ensure he's not rushed, the optimism surrounding Made's trajectory is palpable. He represents the next wave of talent that could soon be making an impact in Milwaukee.
So, yes, Sunday's loss stings. No one likes to lose, especially at home. But take a step back and look at the bigger picture. The present is a 45-36 team still firmly in the hunt. The future? It's electric. With arms like Misiorowski setting records and bats like Made on the fast track, the foundation for sustained success is stronger than ever. The Crew will shake this one off and get back to work, but fans can rest easy knowing the next generation is more than just on its way—it's already making history.
