On May 4, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers suffered a disappointing loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Despite an impressive return from Jackson Chourio, the Brewers’ offense faltered throughout the game.
The game started with both teams struggling to score. By the fourth inning, Chad Patrick, the Brewers’ pitcher, allowed four runs, giving the Cardinals an early lead. The Brewers managed to reach base but failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Chourio reached base in all five of his plate appearances, showcasing his offensive skills. However, Milwaukee went just 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position. They stranded 11 men on base during the game, which proved costly.
In the top of the ninth, Brice Turang hit a two-run homer. This brought some hope for a comeback but ultimately fell short as the game ended with a final score of 6-3 in favor of St. Louis.
The loss dropped the Brewers to last place in the NL Central with a record of 18-16. The team now faces pressure to improve its offensive performance moving forward.
