Henderson limits Rangers to one run in 6-1 Brewers win

A dominant start from the mound

Logan Henderson set the tone early in a 6-1 victory for the Milwaukee Brewers over the Texas Rangers on Friday, August 28, 2026. The right-hander retired 19 of the first 20 batters he faced, allowing just one hit and one earned run while striking out seven times over seven innings.

His performance was the centerpiece of a defensive and pitching effort that kept the Rangers' offense at bay for the bulk of the contest.

Offensive production drives the lead

The Brewers took command of the game in the first inning, scoring two runs to build an early cushion. Francisco Lindor grounded out to shortstop, allowing Brice Turang to score, followed by a double by Christian Yelich that sent Taylor Trammell home.

The Rangers managed their only run in the third inning when Josh Jung homered to left field, a 395-foot shot that briefly cut the deficit. However, Milwaukee reasserted control in the sixth inning when a single by Matt Wallner brought in a run, and they added two more in the seventh and eighth innings to close the gap decisively.

The final run came in the eighth inning on a sacrifice fly by Lindor, which scored a runner to seal the 6-1 margin.

Bullpen secures the result

After Henderson departed, the Brewers' bullpen managed the remaining two innings effectively. Aaron Ashby pitched one inning, allowing one hit and walking one batter while striking out two. The game ended with DL Hall pitching the final inning, retiring all three batters he faced, including three strikeouts, to preserve the win.

This marked Henderson's ninth victory of the season, improving his record to 9-2. The Rangers' starting pitcher, Cody Bradford, took the loss, recording five and two-thirds innings while giving up nine hits and three earned runs. He was followed by Tyler Alexander, Chase Silseth, and Adam Macko, who combined to pitch the final four and two-thirds innings.

The Brewers improved their record to 84-51, while the Rangers fell to 66-69. Attendance at American Family Field stood at 41,620. No other home runs were recorded in the game, and the Brewers' total of six runs was distributed across the first, sixth, seventh, and eighth innings as detailed in the scoring sequence.
