Brandon Woodruff made a triumphant return to the mound, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-1 victory over the Miami Marlins in his first game since September 2023. The right-handed pitcher demonstrated remarkable form, allowing just one run on two hits while striking out eight batters over six innings. This outing follows a lengthy recovery from shoulder surgery and various setbacks, including an ankle injury and an elbow bruise.

In the game, Woodruff exhibited impressive velocity, reaching 96 mph and showcased his skills by not allowing a hit until the third inning. His performance has reignited hopes for the Brewers, as they now sit three and a half games behind the NL Central leaders. Offensively, Jackson Chourio played a pivotal role, hitting a two-run home run and later adding an RBI single, contributing significantly to the team's scoring.
