The Milwaukee Brewers scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to secure a 4-3 comeback victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, April 15, 2026, at American Family Field. The Blue Jays had held a 3-1 lead entering the inning.

Brewers catcher William Contreras delivered the decisive blow, a two-run double off Blue Jays reliever Yimi García that scored Brice Turang and Christian Yelich. The hit gave Milwaukee its first lead of the game. The rally began earlier in the inning when García walked Turang and gave up a single to Yelich before Contreras's hit.

Toronto's offense was led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who hit a solo home run in the first inning. The Blue Jays added two more runs in the sixth on an RBI single by Bo Bichette and a sacrifice fly from Danny Jansen. Brewers starter Freddy Peralta struck out nine over six innings but received a no-decision.

With the win, the Brewers improved their record, while the loss dropped the Blue Jays below .500 early in the season. The teams are scheduled to conclude their series on Wednesday.
