Milwaukee Brewers fall to Giants off Trevor Megills 2nd straight blown save; 'That one stings'

The Milwaukee Brewers dropped an emotional series to the San Francisco Giants over the weekend. The series coincided with a Celebration of Life honoring the legendary Bob Uecker, and also featured the return of fan-favorite shortstop Willy Adames.

San Francisco took two out of three games in the series. Brewers closer Trevor Megill blew save opportunities on both Friday night and Sunday afternoon. While the offense bailed him out on Friday, they couldn’t do the same on Sunday.

Trevor Megill blew two save opportunities against the San Francisco Giants

Holding a one-run lead in the ninth inning Friday night, Trevor Megill allowed the Giants to even the score on a wild pitch. Fortunately for Milwaukee, William Contreras came through in the bottom of the inning with a walk-off home run to send the crowd home happy. Sunday told a different story. Megill once again entered with a one-run cushion, but this time surrendered two runs in another blown save, and the Giants held on for the win.

The Brewers did all their scoring by the fifth inning, with RBIs from Brandon Lockridge, Christian Yelich, and Caleb Durbin. However, they struggled to capitalize on opportunities, finishing just 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Manager Pat Murphy looked to spark a rally in the ninth, turning to bench bats Isaac Collins, Jake Bauers, and Anthony Siegler. Siegler’s pinch-hit appearance for Durbin stirred some controversy among fans, raising questions about the late-game decision.

Sunday marked the Brewers’ Celebration of Life for Bob Uecker, a heartfelt and emotional tribute to a franchise legend. While the ceremony was moving and memorable, the team fell just short on the field. What could have been a storybook ending turned bittersweet, as a loss left fans with a lingering sentiment once used by Uecker himself: this one stings.
