The San Diego Padres (36-26) meet the Milwaukee Brewers (34-30) at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for the second game in the weekend series. The Padres ended the Brewers exceptional 9-1 streak yesterday by defeating the Brewers 2-0.
The Padres are having another strong season and look improved compared to 2024. They enter Game 2 of the 2025 regular-season series ranked roughly 14th in run production, 18th in home-run rate, and around 20th in slugging percentage. While San Diego is on track to take the division, the Milwaukee Brewers are currently on an unprecedented Mets-esque 8–2 run about a third of the way through the season. Clearly, the Brewers are doing something different, and it's working.
Stephen Kolek (3.47 ERA) takes the mound for the Padres opposite Brewers' left-hander José Quintana (2.77 ERA). Expect a stellar showing from Quintana as he looks to increase his 4-1 record.

(Starting Pitcher) Stephen Kolek: With a 3-1 record and a 3.47 ERA, Kolek has shown solid command and consistency. While not a heavy strikeout pitcher (27 K), his ability to limit damage makes him a formidable presence on the mound.
Christian Yelich: Back in form with 13 HR and 41 RBI, Yelich anchors Milwaukee’s middle order and adds a .430 SLG.
Sal Frelick: A .291/.352/.404 slash line plus 11 stolen bases gives the Brewers another offensive producer and top-of-the-order catalyst.
(Starting Pitcher) José Quintana: Stellar in the Brewers' pitching rotation with a 4-1 record, a 2.77 ERA, and a 1.28 WHIP, Quintana's veteran presence and command have been pivotal for the Brewers, holding teams to fewer runs in early innings.
