Brewers Face Cy Young Aces, Drop Both Games

0:00On April 25th, the Milwaukee Brewers just made history by facing both raining-saw young award winners on back-to-back days, something no team had ever done before. They took on Tariq Skubal and the Tigers Thursday afternoon in Detroit, then Paul Schienes and the Pirates Friday night at home. Missing three top hitters due to injuries, the Brewers still saw it as a chance to shine, but they dropped both games. Thursday started strong against Skubal, who retired the first 9 batters clean, but Milwaukee let that lead slip away. Then Friday, Schienes carved them up for 7 innings, allowing just one hit in a 6-0 Pirates win. The 23-year-old Ride struck out 7 on 97 pitches and retired the first 20 Brewers before that lone single. Manager Pat Murphy called it the best pitching he'd seen from anyone. Without Christian Yelich, Jackson Turio, and Andrew Vaughn, the Brewers managed only weak contact, marking the 39th one hit game in. Franchise history in the first since June 2022.

First 10 All Four Seamers A Pirates rookie celebrated his 20th birthday with a homer off one. Woodruff said he was just reading the hitters. This rare matchup echoes the 2025 Red Sox facing both side youngs in consecutive games and losing two.
