Milwaukee Brewers fans looking for the Sunday matinee will need Peacock again.
The Brewers close out their three-game set with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, July 12, at 11:15 a.m. CT, and the game will stream exclusively on Peacock. It’s the second straight Sunday Milwaukee has landed on the NBC-based streaming service, and the club will be on Peacock two more times later this season.
The pitching change is the bigger twist heading into the finale. What was set up as a marquee matchup between Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski and Pirates ace Paul Skenes has shifted after Milwaukee announced Misiorowski won’t pitch because of fatigue. Robert Gasser will get the ball instead, putting a different look on the final game before the All-Star break.
The Brewers enter at 59-36, and the trip has turned into a grind. Milwaukee opened the road swing by winning six of eight, including four of five against the St.
Louis Cardinals, but the last week has been rougher. Friday’s opener in Pittsburgh was washed out, which forced Saturday’s doubleheader, and the Brewers dropped both games by one run after sweeping a doubleheader earlier in the week against the Cardinals.
That has made every run feel magnified. Six of the 10 games on this trip have been decided by a single run, and Milwaukee is 3-3 in those contests.
Still, there’s a clear number hanging out there Sunday: a win would send the Brewers into the break at 60 victories for the first time in franchise history and leave them 7-4 on the trip.
For those looking for the broadcast details, this one is not on Brewers.TV. Peacock does not offer a free trial, and its premium plan costs $10.99 per month or $109.99 for a year, while premium plus runs $16.99 per month or $169.99 for 12 months.
The matchup on the mound now has Gasser, who is 2-3 with a 4.15 ERA and 1.18 WHIP, facing Skenes, who comes in at 7-8 with a 3.58 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.
After the break, Milwaukee’s schedule stays packed. The Brewers open a three-game weekend series against the Miami Marlins on Friday, July 17, then host the New York Mets for three games starting Monday, July 20, before welcoming the Colorado Rockies on Friday, July 24.

Brewers May Have Just Pulled Off Their Biggest Draft Steal Yet
The Brewers used their first two picks in the 2026 MLB Draft to add Trey Ebel at No. 25 and Sawyer Strosnider at No. 66, a pairing that fits the way Milwaukee tends to attack draft night. Strosnider, a left-handed hitting outfielder from TCU, came into the draft with plenty of attention thanks to his power-speed blend and his place near the top of several prospect lists, including a No. 13 ranking from Baseball America and No. 22 from MLB Pipeline.
His slide into the second round is the kind of thing that often happens when clubs are juggling bonus-pool money, and it gave the Brewers a chance to land a player many evaluators expected to hear much earlier. For a team that values finding upside without losing flexibility, Strosnider looks like the sort of pick that can change the conversation about a draft class quickly, even if the full payoff will take time to sort out.

Cubs Just Found Another Way To Make The Brewers Feel It
The Brewers draft board for 2026 took another hit this week, even if the damage was indirect. Chicago picked up an extra selection after losing Kyle Tucker in free agency, then used that capital to add Florida State first baseman Myles Bailey, while Milwaukees own path to more draft help was already narrowed by an earlier move that sent away its supplemental pick.
For a Brewers team that has tried to stay nimble with its roster-building, the contrast is hard to miss. Brandon Woodruff accepting the qualifying offer left Milwaukee without the bonus draft cushion that sometimes softens a free-agent departure, and now a division rival has turned that kind of compensation into another piece of future talent, leaving the Brewers to make their 2026 draft plan with less room for error.

Brewers Add Another Athletic Outfielder Early And Fans Will Have Takes
The Brewers kept leaning into athleticism early in the 2026 MLB Draft, grabbing University of Florida outfielder Kyle Jones with the 102nd pick. A right-handed hitter with a productive season behind him, Jones brings a profile Milwaukee has long seemed to value: enough offense to matter, enough speed to change the game on the bases, and enough defensive ability to give him a real chance to stay in the middle of the field.
Jones college line, built around a .317 average, six homers, 46 RBIs and 17 stolen bases, fits the kind of all-around package that can make a pick like this look smart in a hurry. It also stands out for another reason around here, because Milwaukee has not taken a collegiate outfielder this high in the draft in a while, which is the sort of detail that tends to get fans talking about both the player and the direction of the draft room.
