The Milwaukee Brewers suffered a disappointing 4-2 loss to the Miami Marlins. The Brewers offense struggled to capitalize on opportunities, and the bullpen faltered late in the game, contributing to the defeat.

The Marlins took an early lead, scoring a run in the first inning. The Brewers responded and took the lead themselves, but the Marlins fought back to tie the game. The Brewers then regained the lead in the eighth inning thanks to an RBI double from Jackson Chourio. However, the Marlins ultimately secured the win by scoring.

On a positive note, rookie Caleb Durbin has been a bright spot for the Brewers. He extended his hitting streak to nine games.

The Brewers' bullpen, which has been a strong point for the team in recent years, struggled in this game. Concerns have arisen this season regarding the bullpen's high workload and declining performance. The Brewers' relievers rank 24th in MLB in ERA (4.55) and Win Probability Added (WPA) at -0.88. They are also in the bottom 10 in WHIP (1.38).

In recent years, the Brewers' bullpen has been a major strength. In 2023, it finished with the second-best ERA in baseball (3.40) and the highest Win Probability Added (WPA) at 11.73. In 2024, the bullpen again finished second in MLB in ERA (3.11) and WPA (13.14). However, the bullpen has struggled so far in 2025.

One factor contributing to the bullpen's struggles is the increased workload. Brewers starters have the fifth-fewest innings pitched in MLB. This has resulted in the bullpen pitching the second-most innings in MLB. The Brewers' bullpen has the most appearances in MLB. All of this has put added pressure on the relievers.

The Brewers will look to bounce back in the next game of the series against the Marlins. To do so, they will need their offense to be more productive and their bullpen to regain its form.
