There hasn’t been much like the Milwaukee Brewers’ June 8 game against the Athletics, this season, or throughout MLB history. The team won 15-14 on the road, marking only the second time in the last 25 years that an MLB game concluded with that score. The last time that occurred also happened to be a road win for the Brewers, as they bested the Washington Nationals on Aug. 17, 2019.
The recent victory was also the longest game of the 2026 MLB season so far. It lasted four hours and 14 minutes. To add even more weirdness to the game, it was played at the Las Vegas Ballpark in Summerlin, Nevada. The Athletics are currently without a permanent home as they await a move to Las Vegas, but they’ve been playing their home games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, this season. The Las Vegas Ballpark is the home of the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators of the Pacific Coast League.
The game was highlighted by a combined 16 challenges via the ABS system, 34 combined hits, and comebacks from both teams after trailing by four runs. Brewers manager Pat Murphy views it as unlike anything he has experienced at the MLB level before.
“The most bizarre game I’ve ever had in Major League Baseball in 11 years,” Murphy said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Kyle Harrison started the game for Milwaukee, but he only lasted 2.1 innings and gave up eight earned runs. Seven pitchers took the mound for each team.
“Playing at ballparks like this in the whole [Pacific Coast League], I’ve got a lot of experience at this,” Harrison said… “Knowing how these games usually go, I haven’t seen anything like this. Credit to this team. Credit to the guy.”
