The Milwaukee Brewers will turn to hard-throwing Jacob Misiorowski on Wednesday afternoon in the deciding contest of a three-game series against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n

The Rays will counter with fellow right-hander Drew Rasmussen (0-0. 1.80 ERA). Both Rasmussen and Misiorowski (1-0, 1.80) were effective in their Opening Day starts.<\/p>\n

The Brewers bounced back from their only loss of the season and evened the series vs. the Rays with a 6-2 victory on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee\u2019s Brandon Woodruff threw five solid innings while making his first start since a season-ending injury last September. Woodruff, who also missed the entire 2024 season recovering from shoulder surgery, gave up a pair of solo homers in five innings, allowing four hits with six strikeouts without a walk.<\/p>\n

The Brewers erased a 2-0 deficit with three runs in the fifth inning against Shane McClanahan.<\/p>\n

In his first start, Misiorowski shook off a leadoff homer and yielded just one other hit over the rest of five dominant innings against the Chicago White Sox. He struck out an Opening Day franchise-record 11 batters with three walks in the Brewers\u2019 14-2 win.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes you\u2019ve got to get punched in the face to respond, and I thought Miz did a great job responding,\u201d Brewers manager Pat Murphy said about his 23-year-old pitcher, who has never faced Tampa Bay. \u201cI don\u2019t look at it as historic in terms of how the threw the ball. I think he did some really good things and he matured, which we\u2019re hoping for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brice Turang, who had a bases-loaded single to key the Brewers\u2019 rally against McClanahan, has hit safely in all five games this season. He is batting .400 with three RBIs.<\/p>\n

Once they got the lead, the Brewers also stole two bases, giving them a franchise-record 13 through five games.<\/p>\n

The Brewers received another solid performance from their bullpen on Tuesday. Jared Koenig, Grant Anderson, Abner Uribe and Angel Zerpa followed Woodruff with a scoreless inning apiece. Milwaukee relievers have given up three runs in 22 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we keep going four or five (starter innings), we\u2019re going to have some tired relievers,\u201d Murphy said.<\/p>\n

The Rays are wrapping up the second series in their nine-game road trip to open the season.<\/p>\n

Rasmussen also allowed only a solo homer over five innings on Opening Day but did not get a decision in a 9-7 loss at St. Louis. Tampa Bay\u2019s bullpen gave up eight runs in the sixth after the Rays scored six in the top of the inning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they had stopped at three, I would have been back out there for the sixth,\u201d Rasmussen said. \u201cI mean, if we\u2019re going to score seven consistently, we\u2019re going to win a lot of games this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rasmussen, who began his career in Milwaukee, has faced the Brewers just once, allowing three runs in five innings and taking the loss in a 4-2 defeat last May.<\/p>\n

Chandler Simpson had a single and triple Tuesday night, along with a stolen base. Simpson, batting .444, is the only Rays player to hit safely in all five games this season.<\/p>\n
