Brewers Edge Cardinals 4-3 in Split Doubleheader

Misiorowski Dominates with 11 Ks and 57+ 100 MPH Pitches

Jacob Misiorowski recorded his tenth win of the season, allowing just three hits over seven strong innings. The right‑hander struck out 11 batters, did not issue a walk, and tossed 57 of his 103 pitches at 100 mph or faster. This marked the third time this year Misiorowski has crossed the 57‑pitch threshold at such velocity, underscoring his emerging role as a power‑strikeout arm. The Cardinals’ two home runs could not offset his efficient performance.

Brewers Rally Off Late Runs, Uribe Seals Third Straight Victory

Milwaukee’s bullpen held the line after Misiorowski’s exit, with Aaron Ashby Blanketing the eighth inning and Abner Uribe earning his sixth save in eight chances. The Brewers improved to 3‑1 in their recent stretch, extending an important winning streak. Uribe’s reliable closer role proved decisive in protecting the lead as the team secured the split doubleheader win. The victory set up a quick turnaround for the Brewers’ roster as they look to build momentum.

Cardinals Offense Sparked by Walker and Herrera

Jordan Walker paced St. Louis with a two‑run homer, his 21st of the season, which Statcast recorded at 105.6 mph. Iván Herrera added a solo shot, and his .333 average includes four hits versus Misiorowski across twelve at‑bats. Together, the pair accounted for four of the Cardinals’ six runs, showcasing the offensive spark needed to stay competitive. Despite the homer fest, the pitching staff couldn’t sustain the effort.

Brewers Build Inning‑by‑Inning Momentum

Joey Ortiz’s double opened Milwaukee’s scoring parade, followed by Christian Yelich’s RBI single that tied the contest at 2‑2. Garrett Mitchell later delivered an RBI single to make it 3‑3, while Yelich’s double off JoJo Romero broke the deadlock 4‑3 in the seventh. The Brewers’ late‑game combinations turned a close contest into a crucial win, highlighting their depth and clutch hitting. The Cardinals fell short despite a solid offensive display.

Cardinals’ Pitching Strain and Rookie Opener

Matt Svanson opened the game for St. Louis, pitching a scoreless first inning, while Bruce Zimmermann took over and gave up three runs on six hits over five innings. Ryne Stanek suffered the loss after allowing two batters to reach base and exited the game when he rolled his ankle during a tangled play at first with Ortiz. The injury not only deflated the Cardinals’ hopes but also brought uncertainty to their rotation. With the loss, the team fell to three consecutive defeats.

Looking Ahead: Gasser Faces Dobbins in Nightcap

The Brewers will look to continue their winning streak when left‑handed starter Robert Gasser (1‑3, 4.54 ERA) takes the mound against Cardinals right‑hander Hunter Dobbins (1‑0, 3.63 ERA) in the second game. Dobbins, called up as the 27th man for the doubleheader, adds depth to St. Louis’s rotation despite the recent setbacks. Fans can expect another competitive showdown as both clubs aim to secure the series split. The outcome will influence each team’s playoff positioning later in the season.
