Those two home runs brought Goodman up to 41 for the season, making him the eighth player to belt 40-plus homers in the majors. He also has a .532 slugging percentage over 570 plate appearances, which is second-best in the National League among qualified hitters behind NL MVP frontrunner Pete Crow-Armstrong (.570).

    Rocchio launched a solo shot in the seventh inning before going deep again in the ninth.

  • Quinn Mathews SP | STL

    Cardinals' Quinn Mathews: Ends 2026 season with loss

    Mathews (2-4) took the loss against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven across five innings.

    Mathews was handed an early 2-0 lead, but he gave up an RBI single to Jackson Chourio in the third before yielding a two-run homer to Brice Turang in the fifth in what turned out to be the game-winning runs for the Brewers. Saturday was the fourth time in nine major-league starts that Mathews fanned at least seven batters, and the 25-year-old southpaw showed he could handle himself in the big leagues since making his MLB debut Aug. 1. He'll end the 2026 campaign with a 3.83 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 46:20 K:BB over 49.1 innings.

  • Royals' Michael Wacha: Takes loss in season finale

    Wacha (9-10) took the loss against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing six runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 6.1 innings.

    Wacha was spotted an early lead but instantly coughed it up, allowing four runs in the second inning following a leadoff error. The veteran hurler still posted a quality start for the third time in five September outings, finishing the season having tallied five or more innings in 31 of 32 starts. Overall, he'll wrap up the campaign with a 3.32 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 158:54 K:BB while surpassing 200 frames for the first time in his 14-year career.

  • Aaron Ashby RP | MIL

    Brewers' Aaron Ashby: Collects fourth save of 2026

    Ashby earned the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals, striking out two batters across two innings.

    Ashby was brought out of the bullpen for the eighth inning, and he needed 26 pitches (13 strikes) to secure the two-frame save, ending the game by striking out Leo Bernal in the ninth. It was the fourth save of the season for Ashby, who has struck out two batters in three of his last five outings. He has a 3.12 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 89.1 innings this season, along with a career-best 116 strikeouts.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Posts quality start in win

    Bibee (7-15) earned the win in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Royals, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk with six strikeouts over six innings.

    Bibee allowed three runs in the first inning but blanked the Royals from there, throwing 61 of 94 pitches for strikes with 13 whiffs. The performance lowered the 27-year-old's September ERA to a still-bloated 7.36 mark, and it was an encouraging effort as the Guardians prepare for the postseason. He'll finish the regular season with a 4.36 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 148:55 K:BB across a career-high 188 innings.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Crushes go-ahead homer Saturday

    Turang went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run during the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

    Turang gave the Brewers the lead for good in the fifth inning with a 421-foot, two-run homer to center field. It was the 21st home run of the season for the second baseman, and he's one RBI away from reaching 100 for the first time in his major-league career. Over his last five games, Turang has gone 8-for-21 with six RBI and five extra-base hits (including two homers).

  • Dustin May SP | MIL

    Brewers' Dustin May: Gives up two runs Saturday

    May did not factor into the decision Saturday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out five across three innings.

    May was operating on short rest, with his last start taking place Tuesday against the Phillies. He ended his night with 58 pitches (38 strikes), and the home run he gave up to Alec Burleson in the third inning was the fifth long ball in May's last six outings. The Brewers will have home-field advantage for the playoffs, so May will have extra rest before the beginning of the NLDS. He'll end the regular season with a 7-9 record (31 starts) with a 4.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 144:50 K:BB over 145.2 innings, with his strikeouts and innings pitched both being career highs.
