The Milwaukee Brewers achieved their fifth victory in six games, solidifying their position with the second-best record early in the 2026 season. Their scheduled series opener against the Kansas City Royals on Friday, April 4, 2026, was postponed due to severe weather moving through the Kansas City area.
