The Milwaukee Brewers found themselves in dire straits as they opened the 2025 season with a dismal 11-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. The pitching staff, already depleted by injuries, struggled significantly, with Elvin Rodríguez allowing four runs in just two innings. The lack of offensive support was glaring, as the Brewers managed only three hits against Royals starter Kris Bubic.

Manager Pat Murphy expressed frustration over the team's struggles, emphasizing the depth issues created by injuries. The Brewers have now allowed a staggering 20 home runs across just four games. This defeat is the worst home opener in team history since 2015, leaving fans anxious and questioning the team's viability moving forward.
