Megill pitched a perfect ninth while striking out two en route to his 21st save of the season in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.
Megill was tasked with facing the heart of the Dodgers' order and stood tall by striking out Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages before getting Michael Conforto to fly out to end the game. Over his last 10 appearances, Megill has tallied multiple strikeouts seven times and owns a 1.59 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB in 11.1 innings over that span. He now sits tied for fifth in baseball with 21 saves, which also ties his career high he set last year.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Collects 19th save
Rotowire
Megill gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 19th save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Marlins. He struck out one.
Miami's hitters made him work, fouling off 10 of his 32 pitches (20 total strikes), but Megill finally got the job done. The right-hander bounced back nicely from his third blown save of the season, and he's two saves shy of matching the career-high 21 he racked up last year. Since the beginning of June, Megill has a 2.92 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB through 12.1 innings.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Suffers third blown save
Rotowire
Megill blew the save in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to Colorado. He allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and no walks over two innings with two strikeouts.
The Milwaukee closer entered the ninth with a one-run lead, which he coughed up by allowing a 385-foot solo shot to Orlando Arcia. Megill then reappeared for the 10th frame and allowed the automatic runner to score on a Thairo Estrada single. In total, Megill required 30 pitches, 22 of which were strikes, to complete this appearance. Despite this hiccup, the flamethrowing right-hander has been solid in 11.1 June innings with a 3.18 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB while converting eight of 10 save opportunities.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Pockets 18th save
Rotowire
Megill struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 18th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Pirates.
The 31-year-old righty came through with his sixth straight successful conversion, and on the year he's blown only two of his 20 save chances. Megill hasn't been quite as dominant as his predecessors in the Milwaukee closer role, Josh Hader and Devin Williams, but that's a high bar to clear, and he's been more than adequate in his first full season with the job. Through 27.2 innings, Megill's posted a 2.60 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Shaky in 15th save
Rotowire
Megill secured the save in Sunday's 3-2 win against St. Louis, allowing two hits with three strikeouts in a scoreless inning.
The Milwaukee closer labored a bit in this 29-pitch appearance, as the first two batters he faced reached via singles. However, Megill recovered to punch out the side, including fanning both Victor Scott and Masyn Winn with runners on second and third to wrap up the contest. Despite being unsteady over his past seven appearances with a 5.14 ERA and 1.43 WHIP, Megill is firmly cemented in the closer's role thanks to a 10.7 K/9 through 24.1 total frames.

Rotowire
Megill picked up the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals, giving up one run on two hits and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.
Although Megill has already amassed four saves in June, he's now surrendered at least one earned run in three of his last six outings. The hard-throwing right-hander has still been able to convert five of his six save chances during this span, so he should still have a pretty strong grip on Milwaukee's closing gig. On the season, Megill sports a 3.09 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB while going 14-for-16 in save opportunities over 23.1 frames.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Battles for 10th save
Rotowire
Megill picked up his 10th save during Monday's 3-2 victory over the Red Sox, allowing one run on one hit and three walks.
It wasn't pretty, but Megill was able to get the final three outs of the Brewers' Memorial Day victory to cash in on his ninth straight save opportunity and 10th overall this season. He needed 34 pitches and walked three batters along the way -- a shock considering he had walked three batters combined in his 10 other appearances in May. It was the first time the 31-year-old surrendered an earned run since late April, a span of 12 appearances.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Puts out fire for save Thursday
Rotowire
Megill picked up the save in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Pirates after throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.
It was a spotless inning of work for Megill but not for the Brewers, who saw Carlos Rodriguez give up two earned runs in the frame. Megill allowed one of those runs to come across via a groundout, but it was still his 10th consecutive outing without being charged with an earned run. The hard-throwing right-hander has strengthened his hold on Milwaukee's closing job after a rocky beginning in 2025, having converted each of his last six save chances while posting a 0.93 ERA and 9:4 K:BB across his last 9.2 innings.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Converts second save
Rotowire
Megill recorded the final two outs to earn the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.
Bryan Hudson began the ninth inning but allowed three of the first four batters to reach base. Megill allowed an inherited runner to score on a sacrifice fly before inducing a groundout from Shea Langeliers to end the threat. This was Megill's second save in three chances this season, though his last opportunity ended in disaster when he blew a save versus the Diamondbacks last Saturday. Megill is now at a 4.26 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB over 6.1 innings this season. He has a loose grip on the closer job for the Brewers, in large part due to an ongoing issue with his knee.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Available to pitch
Rotowire
Megill (knee) was available to pitch Sunday versus the Diamondbacks and Monday against the Tigers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Megill imploded Saturday in Arizona and it was revealed that he had recently undergone an MRI on his knee and would be seeking a second opinion. Evidently, he has checked out well enough to pitch. Megill had pitched well prior to struggling in his last appearance and remains at the top of the Brewers' bullpen hierarchy. However, he's a bit of a health red flag right now.
Megill is set to receive a second opinion on his knee this week after recently undergoing an MRI, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Megill got his knee checked out a few days earlier, but he wasn't shut down after the MRI came back clean, and he proceeded to pitch in both of the Brewers' first two games of their series in Arizona this weekend. Though he struck out two and allowed one walk in a scoreless inning in Friday's 7-0 win, Megill unraveled in Saturday's 5-4 loss, blowing a save chance and recording just one out while giving up three earned runs on two hits and three walks. After the disastrous performance, Megill is getting examined again as a precaution, but the right-hander didn't use the injury as an excuse for the blown save while speaking to the media Sunday. He'll presumably remain available for Sunday's series finale, though the Brewers will probably look to stay away from him after he tossed 37 pitches over the past two days.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Underwent MRI on knee
Rotowire
Megill recently underwent an MRI on his knee, but it came back clean, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Megill pitched in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks but allowed two hits, three walks and three earned runs while recording just one out in the bottom of the ninth inning before taking the loss. He hadn't been scored upon in his first five outings of the season prior to Saturday's disaster. For now, Megill has been cleared to pitch, but it's something worth monitoring in the near future.
