Brandon Woodruff made a notable return to pitching after a 683-day hiatus, delivering a dominant performance across multiple outings. In his first inning back, Woodruff recorded two strikeouts and a flyout on just three pitches. Over six innings, he allowed two hits, one earned run, no walks, and struck out eight batters while throwing 70 pitches with 53 strikes. In a subsequent home game at American Family Field, Woodruff struck out seven batters through three innings, with the only run allowed coming from a solo homer. He finished that game with 10 or more strikeouts for the 20th time in his career, pitching 4 1/3 innings on 81 pitches. His homecoming was marked by enthusiastic fan support and culminated in a 6-5 walk-off victory for the Milwaukee Brewers against the Washington Nationals, extending the Brewers' winning streak to six games. Separately, Tyler Glasnow also returned from the injured list with a solid start, pitching five innings with two hits, no earned runs, three walks, and five strikeouts. Glasnow’s command showed some inconsistency but he effectively limited damage, ending with a no-decision in a game tied 1-1 in the sixth inning.
