Game Thread #35: Milwaukee Brewers (18-16) @ St. Louis Cardinals (21-14)
The skies are still grey, but the Brewers will play
ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - MAY 4: Jackson Chourio #11 of the Milwaukee Brewers hits against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on May 4, 2026 in St Louis, Missouri. (Photo by Joe Puetz/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Brewers are back in action today for the series finale of what will effectively be a two-game series against the division-rival St.
Louis Cardinals after yesterday’s rainout . Neither team opted to skip the spot in the rotation, so today’s pitching matchup is still Brandon Sproat against Andre Pallante. Sproat has flashed serious potential during his rookie season, but those highs have come along with some blow-up innings.
He carries a 6. 75 ERA into today’s start. Pallante, a 27-year-old right-hander who was the Cardinals’ fourth-round pick in 2019, struggled last season but has bounced back nicely with a 3.
73 ERA over six starts for St. Louis. Jackson Chourio (hitting second, playing left field) and Andrew Vaughn (hitting sixth, at DH) are again in today’s lineup after both players were activated from the injured list on Monday.
