Overview
- The Brewers will start Jacob Misiorowski against the Reds’ Chase Burns in the series finale at American Family Field on Thursday, July 2.
- Misiorowski enters the game as the MLB leader in ERA (1.45), strikeouts (146), WHIP (0.77) and opponents’ batting average (.144).
- In his most recent outing Misiorowski touched 105.5 mph on the radar gun, a mark that set a modern benchmark for a starting pitcher since tracking began in 2008.
- Burns remains an elite young starter at 9-1 with a 2.00 ERA but comes to Milwaukee following his poorest outing of the season, when he allowed five runs and nine hits while striking out 10 over six innings.
- The game matters beyond one start because it could shape Cy Young talk, add fuel to a budding rivalry, and reflect how high-velocity arms are shifting rotation decisions and team momentum in the division race.
