Watch now: 5 of the Brewers' most eye-popping defensive plays so far this season

The ongoing dispute between Sinclair Broadcasting, which owns Bally Sports Wisconsin, and various streaming services means many Milwaukee Brewers fans have been unable to watch the team's games early this season.

If you're one of those fans you've missed some pretty impressive plays so far, but we've got you covered. With some help from the Film Room at MLB.com, we collected some of the top defensive highlights from the Brewers' first two weeks:

April 1: Luis Urias' debut

The Brewers wanted to see what Luis Urias could do at shortstop this season and he didn't make them wait long to find out. Three pitches into the first inning of the season, Urias made a leaping grab to rob Twins leadoff hitter Luis Arraez of a base hit.

April 6: Kolten Wong's double play

Kolten Wong's two Gold Glove Awards were a primary reason the Brewers signed him to a two-year, $18 million contract ahead of Spring Training and while he hasn't made much of an impact at the plate, his defense has already lived up to expectations.

April 7: Avisail Garcia saves the shutout

Brandon Woodruff's no-hit bid had just been spoiled by an Ian Happ single and the Cubs were threatening to break a scoreless tie when Kris Bryant sent a 3-2 fastball to shallow right field.

April 10: Travis Shaw's diving stop

Most of the discussion when Shaw returned to the Brewers on a minor league deal this spring focused on his bat, and while he's been one of the team's best offensive performers so far, he's also provided steady defense at third base.

April 10: Jackie Bradley Jr. robs Justin Williams

Moments after Dean cut the Brewers' lead to four with a three-run homer in the eighth off Josh Lindblom, Jackie Bradley Jr. charged to the wall in center to pull back what would have been a solo home run by Justin Williams for the first out of the inning.
