Sunday gave the Brewers system three wins, and each one came with a different kind of standout performance.
In Nashville, Brock Wilken went 3-for-4 with a homer and an RBI, but the late swing of the game came from the bottom of the order. Jacob Hurtubise, Daniel Guilarte and Eduardo Garcia strung together three straight two-out hits in the sixth inning, flipping the lead back to 3-2 and giving the Sounds just enough room to finish off a close win.
Colton Gordon worked 5 innings and allowed 2 runs on 3 hits with 3 walks and 2 strikeouts, throwing 95 pitches, while the bullpen took over from there. Andrick Nava added an insurance run in the eighth with a double and a score, and Blake Holub shut the door with a scoreless ninth, touching 96.1 MPH while working around a walk.
Wilken’s homer gave Nashville an early edge before the game tightened up. After Gordon had spun 4 2/3 scoreless innings, the opposition answered with a bunt and a two-run homer to tie it.
Nashville’s relief work was sharp after that, with Garrett Stallings and Cameron Wagoner each covering an inning without allowing a run. Hurtubise and Garcia both finished with two hits, Garcia also swiped a bag, and Jonathan Ornelas added an RBI single.
Nashville now heads to Durham for six games starting Monday.
Biloxi’s win was much louder. Mark Coley II was the driving force, going 3-for-4 with a triple and 5 RBIs in a rout of the Barons.
He opened the scoring with a two-run single in the second, then broke things open with a three-run triple in the sixth to push the lead to 7-1, and later added another hit and scored in Biloxi’s five-run eighth. Jesus Made also had a three-hit day, and Matt Wood reached base four times with a solo homer, three walks and 2 RBIs.
Josh Knoth set the tone on the mound, allowing just one baserunner on an infield hit over 3 scoreless innings with 2 strikeouts. Jack Seppings followed with 2 scoreless frames, and Peyton Niksch, Ryan Birchard and Stiven Cruz handled the rest of the game out of the bullpen.
Damon Keith, who had sat out Saturday’s doubleheader and wasn’t in the starting lineup, came off the bench for a pinch-hit RBI single in the eighth. Biloxi played in front of 2,198 fans in its final regular season home game of 2026, and now heads to Pensacola for six games in a preview of the playoff series that comes a week later.
Wisconsin finished its season with an 8-5 win at Beloit, and Daniel Dickinson was all over it. After sitting out Saturday following his Friday ejection, Dickinson went 3-for-5 with a homer, an RBI and 3 stolen bases, collecting key hits in the first, fourth and seventh innings while constantly pressuring the defense on the bases. The Timber Rattlers led early, added to the margin in the middle innings and then had to hang on after Beloit made a late push.
Ethan Dorchies went 4 innings, allowing 3 runs on 2 hits with 3 walks, 1 hit batsman and 3 strikeouts. Joshua Quezada earned the win after another strong outing, and Luiyin Alastre helped out with an outfield assist.
Wisconsin scored 3 runs on 3 hits in the seventh to go up 8-3, but Beloit loaded the bases with the potential game-winning batter at the plate in the eighth before Tanner Perry got a pop-up to escape the jam. Sawyer Strosnider and Tayden Hall each reached base three times, and both teams were active on the bases: Wisconsin was 5-for-5 in stolen-base attempts, while Beloit went 6-for-6.
The Timber Rattlers finished 68-59.
Wilson’s final day of its inaugural season was a rough one, as Fredericksburg beat the Warbirds 7-2 and handed them a 12th straight loss to close the year at 64-66. Even so, the big picture for the club was still a successful first season, with the team having started 9-15 before going 55-39 in the middle stretch of the schedule.
Carlos Carra returned after a two-week injury absence and threw 2 2/3 innings, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. He left with two outs in the third and only a runner on first, but another earned run was added to his line.
Wilson managed only three harmless singles through six innings, and the Nationals’ three-run sixth made the deficit 6-0. The Warbirds finally scratched out two runs on an error in the ninth.
Moises Polanco went 2-for-4 and accounted for two of Wilson’s five hits, while Frederi Montero doubled. Hayden Robinson handled the long relief work, giving up 5 runs, 3 earned, on 7 hits with a walk and 3 strikeouts over 3 innings.
Andrew Gaines threw a scoreless inning with 2 strikeouts, and Carlos Espinal and Joey Broughton also worked out of the bullpen. Wilson also missed the bats of Handelfry Encarnacion and Trey Ebel, both of whom had last played recently.

Brandon Woodruff Suddenly Feels Like A Real Brewers Possibility
Brandon Woodruffs path back to the mound has shifted in a way the Brewers could not have reasonably expected when his shoulder injury surfaced in July. What first looked like a season-ending situation has become far more encouraging, because surgery is no longer needed and Woodruff has already moved into a five-week throwing program that began in late August.
Now in the third week of that program, Woodruff is no longer just a name attached to a long-term rehab file. The late-season calendar gives Milwaukee at least a sliver of hope that he could factor back in before the regular season ends or, if things continue to progress, sometime during the playoffs, which is enough to keep this storyline very much alive.

Garrett Mitchell Has Forced A Brewers Question At The Worst Time
Garrett Mitchell has already logged more big-league action this season than he did in his previous four partial seasons combined, and that alone says something about how far he has come in Milwaukee. The outfielder has brought the Brewers a steady dose of hard contact over a much larger workload, even if the strikeouts and modest power have kept his offensive line closer to his usual career range than to a true breakout.
The timing, though, is what makes Mitchell such an interesting question for the Brewers now. With the postseason approaching and outfield playing time getting tighter, his place in the lineup is no longer simple or settled, and a player who has forced his way into the conversation now has to wait to see how the roster picture sorts itself out.

Corbin Burnes Just Put Brewers Fans On October Watch
Corbin Burnes is finally on the verge of getting back on a mound after a long and frustrating stretch that began with his June 2025 Tommy John surgery and then got pushed back further by a shoulder strain. The right-hander signed a six-year, $210 million deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks in late 2024, but instead of anchoring their rotation right away, his first season in the desert has been defined by rehab and waiting.
Now the Diamondbacks say Burnes will return to pitching in a game against the Kansas City Royals, his first appearance since June 2025, and that puts a familiar October question back on the board. For Brewers fans still tracking one of the franchises most recognizable recent stars, the timing matters because Arizonas postseason push and the National League Wild Card race could hinge on how quickly Burnes looks like himself again.
