Game Preview
From the first pitch, this looks like a Misiorowski showcase. The Brewers right-hander, touching 100+ mph with regularity, works through the Mets order methodically — Tyrone Taylor chasing sliders, Torrens overmatched by rising four-seamers. Milwaukee breaks through in the first when Turang draws a walk off a tentative Peralta, steals second, and scores on a Contreras single to right-center. The Brewers add another in the third when Vaughn works a full count before depositing a changeup into the left-field corner for an RBI double, plating Mitchell who had singled.
The Mets find their lone answer in the third, when Juan Soto — the one man capable of barreling Misiorowski — drives a 99 mph fastball into the gap for an RBI single, making it 2-1. But Misiorowski bears down and strands two with back-to-back strikeouts, preserving the lead. Peralta exits after five innings having allowed three runs on six hits and three walks, turning it over to a depleted Mets bullpen. The Brewers tack on in the sixth and eighth against relievers, with Yelich drawing a critical bases-loaded walk and Turang's sacrifice fly delivering an insurance run. Misiorowski finishes with nine innings of two-run ball, punching out 11, as Milwaukee completes a professional victory — the kind that defines a 62-win ballclub.
Misiorowski's historic ERA and K-rate vs. a depleted Mets lineup (42-58, missing Robert and Vientos) is an extreme mismatch. Peralta's declining velocity and walk issues favor the Brewers heavily. High confidence in home win, moderate on exact margin.
