The Milwaukee Brewers will take the field Sunday afternoon looking to finish off a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies and continue building on a strong 2025 campaign that currently has them holding a 47–36 record and firmly in the postseason picture. Chad Patrick is set to start for Milwaukee, and although his 3–7 record might suggest struggles, his 3.72 ERA tells a more complete story of a pitcher who has kept the team in games and frequently been on the wrong end of low run support or blown leads. Patrick’s ability to generate soft contact and avoid home runs has allowed the Brewers to lean on their bullpen, which has quietly been one of the most effective in the league with a 3.80 team ERA. On the offensive side, the Brewers are led by veteran Christian Yelich, who remains one of the most reliable run producers on the roster with a .263 batting average, 15 home runs, and 59 RBIs, delivering power and leadership in key moments. Sal Frelick continues to impress with his consistent contact and high-average production, entering the game batting .295 and providing spark at the top of the lineup. The Brewers have done a good job combining speed, situational hitting, and timely power, a formula that’s made them particularly dangerous at American Family Field, where they’ve covered the run line in six of their last eight home games and routinely delivered multi-run victories against weaker opponents.

The Rockies’ pitching staff, led by Germán Márquez and their struggling bullpen, poses a favorable matchup for Milwaukee’s lineup, especially considering Colorado’s inflated 5.56 team ERA and tendency to surrender big innings. Defensively, the Brewers are disciplined and rarely beat themselves, something that stands out even more when facing a team like the Rockies, whose mistakes often open the door to game-changing moments. If Patrick can deliver five or six clean innings and limit traffic, manager Pat Murphy will feel comfortable turning the game over to a bullpen that has closed out leads efficiently all year. The key for the Brewers will be staying patient at the plate, waiting for Márquez to fall behind in counts, and capitalizing on fastballs left in the zone. With the total going over in seven of their last ten games, Milwaukee has been playing in more high-scoring contests lately, a sign of both offensive rhythm and some bullpen fatigue, but the matchup here gives them a good chance to control the pace from the start. A win Sunday would not only complete a sweep of MLB’s worst team but also give the Brewers a chance to enter July with momentum, a firmer grip on their divisional standing, and the kind of confidence that could carry them through the dog days of summer. If Yelich and Frelick continue to lead the charge and the pitching staff holds form, Milwaukee should have every opportunity to dominate this series finale and continue asserting themselves as legitimate National League contenders.
