Brewers Edge Cardinals 4-3 in Split Doubleheader Opener

Misiorowski Dominates with 11 Strikeouts

Jacob Misiorowski delivered a seven‑inning gem, racking up 11 strikeouts while surrendering just three hits. The 24‑year‑old right‑hander improved to 10‑4 and did not issue a walk. He cranked 57 of his 103 pitches to at least 100 mph, the third time this season he has tossed that many fastballs.

Cardinal Power Show Comes Up Short

St. Louis jumped out early with Jordan Walker’s two‑run homer in the first inning. Iván Herrera added a solo shot in the third to put the Cardinals ahead 3‑1. Walker’s blast was his 21st of the season, racing off at 105.6 mph, while Herrera is hitting .333 (4 for 12) with two homers against Misiorowski.

Brewers Rally to Take the Lead

Milwaukee tied the game in the third when Joey Ortiz doubled home Garrett Mitchell’s earlier hit. Christian Yelich’s RBI single knotted the score at 2‑2, and Mitchell’s single in the sixth again leveled the contest at 3‑3. Yelich broke the tie with an RBI double off JoJo Romero in the seventh, giving the Brewers a 4‑3 advantage.

Bullpen Closes the Door

Aaron Ashby kept the Brewers ahead with a scoreless eighth inning, while Abner Uribe earned his sixth save in eight chances. The shutout helped Milwaukee secure its third consecutive victory.

Cardinals’ Recent Slide Deepens

St. Louis has now lost three straight games, with Ryne Stanek absorbing the defeat. Stanek allowed both batters he faced to reach before exiting during an odd play at first in the seventh. The Cardinals also saw Matt Svanson start as an opener, tossing a scoreless first, and Bruce Zimmermann give up three runs over five innings.

Next Game Outlook

Robert Gasser will take the mound for the Brewers on Tuesday night, facing Hunter Dobbins of the Cardinals. Gasser is 1‑3 with a 4.54 ERA, while Dobbins sits at 1‑0 and 3.63 ERA after being named the Cardinals’ 27th man for the doubleheader.
