Brewers Host Struggling Braves in Key MLB Series

Milwaukee, WI — The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host the Atlanta Braves for a three-game series starting Monday, June 9, 2025, at American Family Field. This matchup comes as both teams are eager to turn around their recent struggles in the National League.

The Brewers currently sit at 35-31, having lost three of their last five games, including two shutouts against the San Diego Padres over the weekend. Their hot streak of eight consecutive wins has fizzled, placing them 2.5 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants for the final NL Wild Card spot.

On the other hand, the Braves are facing tougher challenges this season with a record of 27-36. They have experienced a six-game losing streak entering their final game against the Giants. In June alone, Atlanta has struggled to find consistency, failing to secure a victory against the Red Sox, Diamondbacks, and Giants.

The Braves’ offensive struggles come despite having players like Matt Olson and Marcell Ozuna leading their batting stats with 13 and 10 homers respectively. Ronald Acuña is also back in action, showing promise with a .315 batting average. However, Atlanta’s pitching staff has dealt with injuries to key players, further complicating their challenges on the mound.

Milwaukee’s current offense is led by Christian Yelich, who has 13 home runs and 41 RBIs this season. Meanwhile, Jackson Chourio is on track for a potential 20-20 season with 10 home runs and 13 stolen bases so far. The Brewers are looking to capitalize on their home advantage and regain their momentum in this crucial series.

In the pitching matchup on Monday, Aaron Civale will take the mound for the Brewers against Chris Sale of the Braves. Civale has returned to form after a stint on the injured list, boasting wins in his last three starts. Sale, while having a strong ERA of 2.93, has faced limited run support leading to a 3-4 record this year.

This matchup between the Brewers and Braves is critical for both teams as they aim to regain their footing in a competitive league.
