The Brewlishness has been afoot in 2026, where the Milwaukee Brewers are once again a winning ballclub despite just 20 home runs, tied for second-to-last in all of baseball.

Hampered by injuries that are keeping the lineup's biggest power threats on the bench but also leaning into a style of speed and contact, the Brewers have logged a number of monster innings, sometimes without much logical explanation.

That was the case April 28 in a 13-2 win over the Diamondbacks, when Milwaukee put together an eight-run sixth inning, largely on light contact. It was also true in their win two days earlier in Pittsburgh, when a similar five-run frame gave the Brewers a 5-0 win.
