The season didn’t have to turn out this way. It could’ve been worse!

The 2025 MLB Power Rankings are back after the Yankees lost a series to the Red Sox, seriously shaking up the list.

The Milwaukee Brewers still have baseball's best record, but this weekend was a bit of a rough patch. After taking game one of their series with the San Francisco Giants, the Brewers let their foot off the gas a bit. San Francisco got an easy win on Saturday, then came back in dramatic fashion on Sunday with a two-run single to take the lead in the top of the ninth inning when they were down to their last strike. On a day when the Brewers were honoring the late, great Bob Uecker for his six decades of loyalty to the franchise, the last-minute loss was a bit of a buzzkill.

A new week of Giants baseball starts tomorrow. Which series are Giants fans most interested in this week?

Matt Gage wondered if he just wasn't good enough. It was the spring of 2019, and Gage had just finished his second start with Mexico City's Diablos Rojos of the Mexican League. In his first start — Opening Day in the newly built Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú — he gave up five runs and recorded four outs. Gage knew if he didn't perform there, he may have nowhere else to go.

Since being brought back up to the Major Leagues last week, young San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Matos has been on a tear. Since returning to the lineup, Matos has gone 8-for-15 with five extra-base hits (including two home runs) and two walks.

Mike Krukow believes some of the San Francisco Giants' roster moves might have lit a fire under Luis Matos.

(LEARFIELD) – The Milwaukee Brewers dropped a second straight home series when San Francisco scored two runs in the ninth Sunday at American Family Field in Milwaukee. The 4-3 defeat gave Milwaukee five losses in its last eight games and melted its Central Division lead over the Cubs to five. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the team is not trending in the right direction. https://media-cdn.socastsrm.com/wordpress/wp-content/blogs.dir/2499/files/2025/08/082525mil1.mp3 He also talked about losing the series to the Giants. https://media-cdn.socastsrm.com/wordpress/wp-content/blogs.dir/2499/files/2025/08/082525mil2.mp3 Caleb Durbin's home run had put the home team on top in the fifth.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy had high praise for the Giants, despite San Francisco's second-half collapse.

Bob Uecker's Hall of Fame broadcasting career began only after the Milwaukee Brewers initially hired him as a scout. Former Brewers owner and MLB Commissioner Bud Selig said it didn't take long to realize Uecker might be better suited for a different role. “The first scouting report Bob sent back here had mashed potatoes and gravy all over it,” Selig recalled Sunday during a pregame ceremony honoring the man who broadcast Brewers games for 54 seasons, became a national celebrity for his trademark sense of humor and died Jan. 16 at the age of 90.

The Giants certainly earned the respect of Pat Murphy and the MLB-leading Brewers after taking a series win this weekend.

Make no mistake about it, the San Francisco Giants intend to win and win big. The Giants actually came from behind on Sunday, overturning a one-run deficit heading into the ninth and taking a one-run win thanks to some heroics from Heliot Ramos, who drove in the winning run thanks to a two-out single with the bases loaded. While it's not quite likely for the Giants to make it to the playoffs this year, this kind of performance is why even the manager of the best team in baseball, Brewers' Pat Murphy, has so much respect for this team.

Heliot Ramos hit a two-run single off Trevor Megill with two outs in the ninth inning and the San Francisco Giants rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Sunday. The Giants trailed 3-2 when Matt Chapman hit a leadoff double and Luis Matos delivered a one-out single in the ninth. Megill struck out pinch-hitter Rafael Devers before walking Jung Hoo Lee to load the bases.

Willy Adames shared a defiant take following the San Francisco Giants' 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday evening. The Giants were even at one game apiece in the series against the Brewers, needing to win the tiebreaker. “We're still fighting,” Adames told NBC Sports Bay Area's Laura Britt and George Kontos on “Giants Postgame Live.”

On the fourth pitch of his at-bat, with the bases loaded, down to the team's final out and facing one of the most fearsome closers in the game in Trevor Megill, Giants slugger Heliot Ramos did exactly what he needed to do with a 100-mile-per-hour fastball on Sunday. The 25-year-old laced a single to center, driving in his 54th and 55th runs of the season and giving San Francisco a lead it would not relinquish in a 4-3 come-from-behind victory in Milwaukee to clinch the three-game weekend series. San Francisco improved to 63-68, while Milwaukee fell to 81-50. The Giants are 6.5 games behind the Mets for the National League's third and final wild-card spot.

A hit I didn’t think we were gonna get
