Jackson Chourio delivered the offensive punch Milwaukee needed, going 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI as the Brewers outlasted the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 in 10 innings on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. It was a grind of a ballgame — sloppy early, tense late, and ultimately decided in extras — but the Brewers found a way to bank a road win that required every out of a seven-pitcher bullpen effort on their side.

Jackson Chourio Powers Brewers Offense in Extra-Inning Win

Chourio was the story offensively for Milwaukee. His home run gave the Brewers a critical cushion, and his three RBI proved to be the difference in a one-run game. Brice Turang added a 2-for-5 night to keep the lineup moving, giving Milwaukee two batters who made consistent contact against a Baltimore bullpen that eventually cracked in the 10th.

On the other side, the Orioles got a strong night from several hitters. Gunnar Henderson and Coby Mayo each went 3-for-5, and Pete Alonso did damage with a home run and three RBI of his own, keeping Baltimore right in it until the final out. Colton Cowser added two more hits. The Orioles generated plenty of contact — this was not a game Baltimore lost because their lineup went quiet.

Dustin May Struggles Early, Brewers Bullpen Locks It Down

Brewers starter Dustin May did not have his best stuff. He lasted just 2.1 innings, allowing six hits and three earned runs while striking out four. Baltimore's bats got to him early, and the Milwaukee bullpen was forced into a heavy workload from the third inning on.

Shane Drohan was sharp in relief, tossing 1.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts and no hits allowed. DL Hall followed with two solid innings — two strikeouts, zero earned runs allowed — and Abner Uribe was electric in his frame, punching out three batters while allowing just one hit. The collective effort kept Milwaukee within striking distance and eventually in front.

Trevor Megill picked up the win after Baltimore managed to tie things up late, surrendering two earned runs on two hits in the 10th — but the Brewers had already plated enough in their half of the inning to survive. Chad Patrick earned the save with a clean 10th, striking out one and allowing nothing to cross the plate.

Orioles' Cade Povich Exits Early in a Rough Start

Baltimore's Cade Povich had a difficult outing on the mound, lasting just 3.2 innings and giving up three earned runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts. The Brewers made him work, putting up crooked numbers early and forcing Baltimore's bullpen into action before the fourth inning was complete. Anthony Nunez, Luis De León, and Yennier Cano each worked out of trouble in the middle innings before Rico Garcia allowed two earned runs in 0.2 innings — a key sequence that let Milwaukee extend its lead.

Turning Point: Brewers Cash in During Extra Innings

With the game tied heading to the 10th and the automatic runner rule in effect, Milwaukee put together enough offense against Grant Wolfram — who took the loss — to push across what proved to be the winning run. Wolfram allowed two hits and two earned runs in his 0.2 innings of work. Patrick then slammed the door shut in the bottom half, and the Brewers had their 6-5 victory.

What's Next for the Brewers

  • Milwaukee continues its road series against Baltimore following this Friday night win.
  • The Brewers will look to build on Chourio's 2-for-5, one-homer, three-RBI effort and get more length from their starting pitching after May's early exit.
  • The bullpen logged significant innings in this one — managing workload will be a priority in the next few days.
