Brewers Pitching Dominates in Week 10 as Misiorowski Shines

The Milwaukee Brewers showcased their pitching prowess in a week where they allowed one or fewer runs in four of six games. Leading the charge was Jacob Misiorowski, who despite a slightly rough outing, continued to impress. Misiorowski faced the Cardinals on Monday, where he allowed a run, and saw his streak of preventing extra-base hits come to an end with a double in his next start. However, the damage was minimal; of the 49 batters he faced across two starts, only seven managed to reach base, thanks to five hits, a walk, and a hit by pitch. He also racked up an impressive 20 strikeouts during this stretch. Misiorowski’s performance throughout May has been stellar, with his only competition for pitcher of the month coming from Cristopher Sánchez, who had an even more historic month.

The Brewers’ pitching staff didn’t stop there. Kyle Harrison delivered another stellar performance with six scoreless innings in his Tuesday start, while Trevor Megill rediscovered his form, finishing four games with three saves and allowing just two hits in four innings, striking out five. Aaron Ashby also contributed, earning his ninth win on Wednesday amidst three scoreless appearances. Overall, it was a remarkable week for the team’s pitching.

On the offensive side, Jake Bauers emerged as a surprising power source, leading the Brewers in home runs by the end of May. He hit two home runs this week, bringing his season total to nine. The highlight came on Sunday when his two-run shot provided all the run support Misiorowski needed for a victory. Bauers finished the week with a solid batting line of .263/.364/.579, along with four RBIs from his two home runs.

Meanwhile, Andrew Vaughn made a strong case for his place in the lineup. Despite starting only four games and pinch-hitting in the others, he went 8-for-18 with three doubles. The combination of Bauers and Vaughn is becoming increasingly difficult for the Brewers to ignore as they look to maintain their momentum.
