The San Francisco Giants<\/a> had a disappointing season after posting a 65-97 record. They had the second-worst record in the National League.<\/p>\n The Milwaukee Brewers, on the other hand, swept the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series.<\/p>\n The Brewers beat the Dodgers 6-4 in Game 4 of the NLCS on Thursday.<\/p>\n Ex-Giants Pitcher Headed to World Series<\/p>\n Former Giants pitcher Kyle Harrison made the Brewers\u2019 postseason roster. Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy decided to keep the left-handed pitcher despite a rocky second half of the season.<\/p>\n However, the Brewers did not plan to utilize Harrison as a starting pitcher. Instead, he was added to give the NLCS champs another lefty arm out of the bullpen who could provide length.<\/p>\n Harrison has not yet made an appearance in the postseason for the Brewers.<\/p>\n He last pitched 2 innings in a regular-season game against the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> on Sep. 26.<\/p>\n \n How Did Kyle Harrison End Up on the Brewers?<\/p>\n Harrison was a key piece in the Giants\u2019 blockbuster trade for Rafael Devers in June of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n The left-handed pitcher was dealt to the Boston Red Sox<\/a> along with RHP Jordan Hicks, outfield prospect James Tibbs III, and pitching prospect Jose Bello.<\/p>\n Full trade between the Giants and Red Sox that will send Rafael Devers to San Francisco, per @ByRobertMurray<\/a> <\/p>\n But Harrison\u2019s career in Boston was short-lived. He pitched only 12 innings over 3 games before the 24-year-old was dealt again.<\/p>\n The Red Sox traded Harrison, infielder David Hamilton, and LHP prospect Shane Drohan to the Brewers in February in exchange for infielders Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Anthony Seigler.<\/p>\n The former Giants top pitching prospect helped guide the Brewers to a 103-59 regular-season record in 2026.<\/p>\n \n Kyle Harrison Impressed in First Season With Brewers<\/p>\n Harrison jumped to an incredible start with the Brewers. The starting pitcher held a 7-1 record with a 1.57 ERA through his first 11 starts.<\/p>\n In his appearance against the Giants on June 2, Harrison pitched 5 2\/3 innings, tallied 12 strikeouts, and gave up 1 earned run. The Brewers beat the Giants 8-3.<\/p>\n However, Harrison struggled and dealt with left forearm tightness in the latter half of the season in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n The left-handed pitcher finished the regular season with an 11-5 record and 4.20 ERA.<\/p>\n \n Looking Back at Kyle Harrison\u2019s Career With the Giants<\/p>\n Harrison was one of the best Giants pitching prospects in the organization before he made his MLB<\/a> debut in 2023.<\/p>\n The starting pitcher made 7 starts and posted a 4.15 ERA in his rookie year.<\/p>\n Harrison then posted a 0.7 WAR season in 2024, making 24 starts and posting a 4.56 ERA. He had a 7-7 record.<\/p>\n The lefty appeared in 11 games for the Giants in 2025 before being traded to the Red Sox.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tKyle Har<\/a> is a sports reporter focused on the MLB and NFL, covering the San Francisco Giants and San Francisco 49ers for Heavy.com.
