Brewers closer Trevor Megill (29) had another forgettable outing on Tuesday, April 14 as he blew a save by allowing three runs on three hits with a walk in the ninth inning against the Blue Jays at American Family Field.

Overview

  • Trevor Megill, who took a 4-3 lead into the ninth Tuesday, allowed three runs in a 9-7, 10-inning loss to the Blue Jays as home fans booed at American Family Field.
  • Manager Pat Murphy condemned the booing and pointed to Megill’s 30 saves last season as he urged fans to remember the pitcher’s track record.
  • Murphy said he may turn to someone else for the ninth inning but would not make that call right after the emotional loss.
  • MIlwaukee’s options are limited, with setup man Abner Uribe off to a rough start and Jared Koenig on the injured list with an elbow issue.
  • The defeat pushed the Brewers’ losing streak to six, their longest since 2023, and Megill voiced sharp frustration with his pitch execution.
