In what will easily go down as a top five moment in the Milwaukee Brewers season, start Brandon Woodruff made his 2025 debut last Sunday after missing the entire 2024 season and more. The dream scenario would have had Woodruff making his triumphant return in front of the home fans.

The Brewers entered Sunday with a 49-40 record on the season, putting them in second place in the NL Central, four games back of the Chicago Cubs. The Brewers were 2 ½ games back of the New York Mets for the top wild-card spot and possessed a 1 ½ game lead over the various teams vying for the third wild card.
