Overview
- Jacob Misiorowski struck out six over four innings on 70 pitches in an 8-4 win over the Rockies, rebounding after a two-run first and showcasing a curveball-heavy approach.
- Brandon Sproat followed with 4 2/3 innings of two-run ball without a walk, reinforcing his case for an early-season rotation role.
- Joey Ortiz homered in his first game back from the World Baseball Classic, David Hamilton and Brandon Lockridge also went deep, and Milwaukee snapped a three-game skid.
- Recent results underscored inconsistency, including a 1-0 loss to the Guardians with DL Hall allowing the lone run and a 13-4 defeat to the A’s with Kyle Harrison tagged for six amid defensive lapses.
- With Brandon Woodruff’s readiness uncertain and Quinn Priester set for the IL, Misiorowski’s workload and six-day spring cadence position him as a leading option, which would make him one of the least-experienced Opening Day starters in club history if selected.
