After last night’s crazy game, the Brewers are back in action for the second game of their series against the Rockies. Jacob Misiorowski is on the mound for his first start in Colorado.

Prior to today’s game, the Brewers made a roster move to bolster their hurting bullpen. After leaving the game early yesterday, Brian Fitzpatrick was placed on the 15-day IL with a left elbow injury. According to Pat Murphy, Fitzpatrick’s MRI showed a UCL strain. He will seek a second opinion before deciding between rehab and surgery. To fill his spot on the active roster, Drew Rom’s contract was selected from Triple-A Nashville. The Brewers had an open 40-man roster spot following Jake Woodford’s DFA.

The Brewers also made one additional move today. They acquired RHP Joel Kuhnel from the Athletics in exchange for cash. Kuhnel was designated for assignment earlier this week following a loss to the Cubs where he allowed four runs in 2/3 of an inning. Overall this season, Kuhnel has a 4.21 ERA and 3.97 FIP with a 4.9 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9. This is Kuhnel’s second time with the Brewers. He signed as a free agent in June 2024 and was on the active roster twice, but did not appear in a game.

Misiorowski will make his first spot in the high elevation of Colorado this afternoon. He is coming off of an amazing month of May where he allowed just one run over six starts. He held batters to a .109/.154/.116 batting line and struck out 57 while walking just six. For the Rockies, Zach Agnos will make the start. He’s had a rough season, posting a 7.78 ERA and 5.08 FIP over 37 innings. This is just his second start of the season, though he has served as long relief out of the bullpen. In his one other start, he pitched five innings and threw 71 pitches. His ERA is elevated after two relief appearances where he allowed seven runs in each. This is his first career appearance against the Brewers.

The Brewers could use a long start from Misiorowski today. Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby, and Craig Yoho all pitched yesterday. Yoho is likely not available at all after pitching two innings, while Megill and Ashby could be available. Chad Patrick threw 49 pitches on Wednesday, but with Shane Drohan pitching tomorrow, manager Pat Murphy will likely want to keep him to pitch multiple innings tomorrow. Abner Uribe and Rom are the two rested arms, assuming Grant Anderson is still day-to-day.

The lineup is mostly the same from yesterday. Andrew Vaughn and Joey Ortiz get starts, while Garrett Mitchell and Luis Rengifo get the day off. The top five remain unchanged despite the top four having rough days yesterday.

First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. It will be on Brewers.TV and is free if you’re in the Brewers broadcast area. It will also be on the Brewers Radio Network.
