May (6-7) earned the win Thursday against the Pirates, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings during his Brewers debut.
Making his first appearance in a Brewers uniform, May turned in a quality start despite battling some command issues. He threw 97 pitches, issuing three walks and hitting another batter, but limited Pittsburgh to just three hits. In his last five starts, the right-hander has issued 14 walks and hit an additional three batters. May posted a 5-7 record with a 4.38 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 106:35 K:BB across 109 innings in 21 starts with St. Louis before the trade. He's scheduled to make his next start against the Padres.

Brewers' Dustin May: Lined up to start Thursday
Rotowire
May is expected to make his first start for the Brewers on Thursday against the Pirates in Milwaukee, Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv reports.
Milwaukee acquired May and left-hander JoJo Romero (appendectomy) from St. Louis on Monday in exchange for outfielders Alexander Frias and Josiah Ragsdale. During his time in St. Louis, May posted a 5-7 record, 4.38 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 106:35 K:BB over 109 innings across 21 starts.
The Brewers acquired May and JoJo Romero (abdomen) from the Cardinals on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
May has turned in a nice 2026 campaign, collecting a 4.38 ERA and 106:35 K:BB over 109 innings covering 21 starts for the Cardinals. The right-hander is earning $12.5 million this season and is an impending free agent.
May took a no-decision Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing no runs on one hit and two walks in five innings. He struck out three.
May, a rumored trade candidate ahead of Monday's deadline, is boosting his market value for the Cardinals at the right time. The 28-year-old right-hander has pitched at least five innings while giving up one or no runs in back-to-back starts, which comes after a rough patch that saw him surrender 18 runs over his prior five outings. If he remains with St. Louis past the deadline, May is set to take a 4.38 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 106:35 K:BB over 109 innings into a tough road matchup against the Yankees.
May allowed one run on seven hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out eight over six innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Friday.
This was an improved outing for May, who had walked four batters in each of his previous two starts. This also was his first quality start since he tossed a one-hitter versus the Padres on June 15. May is at a 4.59 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 103:33 K:BB through 104 innings over 20 starts this season. The veteran right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Cubs.
May (5-7) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Saturday, allowing five runs on eight hits and four walks with six strikeouts over five innings.
May yielded runs in three separate frames, issuing four walks for the second straight contest while generating 10 swinging strikes on 98 pitches. It was the first time the 28-year-old completed five frames in five turns since tossing a complete-game shutout June 15, a stretch that has included three outings with five or more earned runs allowed. He'll carry a 4.78 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 95:32 K:BB across 98 innings this season into a home rematch with Arizona next week.
May allowed two runs on two hits, four walks and a hit batsman while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Sunday.
May also unloaded a wild pitch, showcasing shaky control throughout the brief start. He's now fallen short of the five-inning mark in four straight games since he pitched his first career shutout June 15 versus the Padres, though he dealt with back tightness and an ankle injury in subsequent starts that have left him with limited workloads heading into the break. May is at a 4.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 89:28 K:BB across 93 innings over 18 starts this season.
