ANAHEIM, CALIF. – The Milwaukee Brewers close out their six-game West Coast road swing with a final game against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 2.
Right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (11-4, 1.58) starts for the Brewers while right-hander Walbert Ureña (6-7, 2.70) counters for the Angels.
The Miz falls into an early hole
Ureña and Misiorowski each struck out the side swinging in the first inning, then Vaughn Grissom led off the bottom of the second with a single to center.
Two batters later, Wade Meckler sent a homer out to right-center on a cutter to leave Milwaukee and Misiorowski in an early hole.
Misiorowski has now allowed homers in four of his last five starts after going 11 straight without surrendering one.
His fastball velocity was also a couple ticks lower than what he’d typically been posting in the early innings of his recent starts, topping out at 102.3 mph on his fourth pitch.
What is the Brewers’ record?
69-41, best record in the major leagues.
