Brandon Woodruff Headlines Brewers' 13-2 Win Over Diamondbacks
Brandon Woodruff was not on the mound Tuesday night, but the Milwaukee Brewers still delivered the result their offense had been missing. Sal Frelick’s second-inning solo home run helped send Milwaukee past the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-2 and ended a seven-game stretch without a homer.
Frelick drove a 396-foot shot over the wall in right-center field, and Milwaukee never gave back the lead. The Brewers turned the game into a rout with eight runs in the sixth inning, a burst that buried Arizona and stretched the margin beyond reach.
Frelick Breaks The Drought
Frelick’s homer was the first for Milwaukee in seven straight games and the club’s longest homerless run since August 1999. That had been the backdrop entering Tuesday night, and the second-inning swing changed the tone immediately.
Tyler Black added support with a 3-for-5 night and three RBIs. Those at-bats mattered once Milwaukee opened the floodgates in the sixth, when the lineup kept turning over and the Diamondbacks could not stop the damage.
Andrew Hoffmann Meets The Sixth
Arizona reliever Andrew Hoffmann was on the mound for the frame that decided the game, and the numbers moved fast against him. Milwaukee scored eight runs in the inning, and Hoffmann’s earned run average jumped from 2.38 to 8.49.
Chad Patrick handled the early work for Milwaukee, allowing one hit in five innings while walking five. Jake Woodford then finished the last three innings and earned his first save, giving the Brewers a clean finish after the offense had already put the game away.
Vargas Keeps The Streak Alive
Ildemaro Vargas gave Arizona its one steady offensive note with a single in the eighth inning. He has hit safely in all 21 games he has played this season, and if his last three games from 2025 are included, the streak reaches 24 games.
That run matches the fourth-longest single-season hitting streak in Diamondbacks history. Luis Gonzalez owns the club record with a 30-game hitting streak in 1999, and Vargas moved one step deeper into that list even as Arizona absorbed the loss.
Milwaukee also had a new backdrop around the ballpark, with a transformed playground outside the stadium near Helfaer Field featuring updated slides, climbing structures and interactive elements. On the field, though, the message was simpler: the Brewers found their power again, and they did it with a lopsided win that kept the scoreboard moving until the final outs.
