Jesús Made made sure the Brewers had a presence on the scoreboard in the MLB All-Star Futures Game.
The Milwaukee No. 1 prospect drove in the National League’s only run in Philadelphia on July 12, though the NL still fell 6-1 to the AL. Made opened his day with a single in his first at-bat against Mariners pitching prospect Kade Anderson, a soft blooper in the first inning that stood as his team’s first hit. Anderson, who is No. 5 in MLB Pipeline’s top 100 and the top pitching prospect, was on the other side of the matchup.
Made later came through again in the third, grounding out to bring home a run and pull the game even at 1-1. The 19-year-old shortstop also handled a play in the field and finished with a flyout in his final trip to the plate in the fifth.
At Class AA Biloxi, Made has put together a .789 OPS with nine homers and 26 stolen bases. He finished the Futures Game 1 for 3 with a run scored.
Milwaukee’s No. 2 prospect, Luis Peña, was in the National League lineup at third base and stayed in the game the whole way. He went 0 for 3, with flyouts to left and twice to center, but he did contribute defensively with two pop-outs and a tag on a runner attempting to steal.
Peña, also 19, owns an .833 OPS this season at Class High A Wisconsin.
Gavin Kilen, a Giants prospect and Milton High School product, also appeared for the National League. He played second base, went 0 for 1, and got his work in on the infield.

Pirates Player Calls Out Pat Murphy After Ugly Brewers Sweep
The Brewers final series before the All-Star break left plenty of bad blood behind, and Ryan OHearn was at the center of it. Pittsburgh finished off a three-game sweep in Milwaukee, and OHearn took a pitch to the body in all three games, including both ends of Saturdays doubleheader and again on Sunday, making for a bruising few days against Brewers pitching.
OHearns frustration went beyond the hit-by-pitches themselves. He said he was upset about being plunked repeatedly and took issue with Pat Murphy after one of the incidents, adding another layer to an already ugly series between division rivals who wont have to wait long to see each other again.

Brewers Fans Wont Love How One 2022 Deadline Miss Just Aged
The Brewers 2022 deadline haul has already been judged mostly through the lens of what Milwaukee got back for Josh Hader, but the lesser-noticed move involving Tristan Peters has aged in a way that stings a little more now. Peters was one of the pieces sent out as the front office tried to reshape the roster for that stretch run, and while the returns on that deadline were mixed at best, the outfielders path since then has kept moving in the opposite direction.
Now in Chicago after a chain of trades, Peters has turned into a real big-league story, the kind that makes old deadline decisions look sharper in hindsight. He has put together a strong season and earned an All-Star nod in 2026, which is the sort of development Brewers fans cant help but notice when they look back at how that summer unfolded and how little Milwaukee ultimately got from the moves around it.

Brewers Prospects Just Made Milwaukees Infield Future Feel Very Real
The 2026 Futures Game offered a tidy reminder of why the Brewers infield future has become such a talking point. Jesus Made and Luis Pea both took part in the showcase, and each left a mark in different ways. Made went 1-for-3 with an RBI, while Pea showed the kind of all-around skill set that has made him one of the most closely watched young players in the organization.
Made also produced the hardest ball of the day at 106.9 mph, a loud swing that fit the buzz around a player already viewed as MLBs top prospect. Pea added a defensive play and three flyouts with strong bat speed, another sign that Milwaukee may have more than one answer waiting on the left side of the infield. With the trade deadline approaching, those performances only made the Brewers long-term picture feel more immediate. [Read more 🡒]
