The Brewers posted the best record in MLB in 2025 and are off to a hot start this season heading into their weekend series at Kansas City against the Royals.
Friday night represents the first road game of the season for Milwaukee, which swept the White Sox and took two of three from the Rays at home to open 2026. Fresh off his World Baseball Classic stint, Brice Turang has led the way with a 1.227 OPS through the opening week, and his four doubles are tied for second-most in the majors.
Speaking of WBC players, the Royals' roster is loaded with them, and Kansas City hopes the likes of Bobby Witt Jr., Salvador Perez, Vinnie Pasquantino and Jac Caglianone can lead KC back to the playoffs after it slumped to an 82-80 finish last year.
Milwaukee will give the ball to Chad Patrick in the series opener after he worked 4.1 solid innings against the White Sox last Saturday. Kansas City will counter with veteran Michael Wacha, who had a brilliant opening start in Atlanta, allowing just three hits and a walk in six scoreless innings.
It's Royals vs. Brewers from Kansas City on Friday night. Here's when and where to tune in.
