Brewers vs Rockies Preview: Misiorowski Looks to Spark Milwaukee

The Brewers just beat the Rockies 9-7 in ten innings yesterday. What a game! Milwaukee was down 5-3 going into the top of the ninth, but then they exploded. Bauers singled, Frelick doubled, and Vaughn came through with a two-run single to tie it up. The Rockies fought back in the bottom of the ninth when Goodman smacked a sacrifice fly to score a run. But Milwaukee had the last word in the tenth inning with a three-run burst that sealed the win. Now the Brewers bring their hot bats back to Coors Field tonight with a 37-23 record.

The Rockies have some serious weapons at home. Hunter Goodman is crushing it this season with a .348 average and 2 home runs in recent games. Yesterday, Goodman launched a massive 411-foot home run to left field that brought the crowd to its feet. Ezequiel Tovar is also swinging hot with a .308 average and 5 RBIs lately. These two young stars know how to play at Coors Field. The high altitude makes balls fly farther, and both hitters have the strength to take advantage. If Colorado wants to win tonight, it needs Goodman and Tovar to keep their bats alive against Misiorowski.

Jacob Misiorowski takes the mound for Milwaukee tonight. The Brewers are counting on his hard stuff to shut down Colorado's lineup. Misiorowski is a hard-throwing right-hander with breakout potential. His raw stuff can make him a star if everything clicks. But pitching at Coors Field is one of baseball's toughest jobs. The thin air lets balls carry farther and harder. The Brewers' pitching staff needs to prove it can survive this difficult environment. If Misiorowski can control his fastball and keep Goodman and Tovar from launching bombs, Milwaukee stays in the hunt.
