Ranking the five worst games of the 2026 season

The Milwaukee Brewers concluded their record-breaking 2026 campaign with a World Series title, yet the season still produced several notable defeats. Among the five worst games of the year was a 5-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers on April 23, where Spencer Torkelson hit a walk-off home run in the ninth inning to end a stretch in which Milwaukee dropped five of six contests.

Another frustrating result came on June 20, when Ozzie Albies delivered a 339-foot walk-off homer against closer Aaron Ashby in a 4-3 defeat to the Atlanta Braves, a game the Brewers had effectively secured against Chris Sale.

The most significant setback arrived in Game 4 of the World Series on October 27, where the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Brewers 4-3 in extra innings. Despite entering the matchup with a 3-0 series lead, Milwaukee fell behind early before David Hamilton tied the score with a home run.

The bullpen, including Trevor Megill and Ashby, held the team in the game until the eleventh inning, but the Rays ultimately prevailed to keep the championship race alive.
