Mandatory Credit: Rhona Wise-Imagn Images | Rhona Wise-Imagn Images Box Score In a battle of young, tall, flamethrowing phenoms, Jacob Misiorowski stumbled out of the gate, and even though he recovered nicely, it was ultimately too much to come back from on a Sunday afternoon in Miami. Misiorowski allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base, though one was due to an error by shortstop David Hamilton.

Faced with bases loaded and nobody out in the first inning, Misiorowski then threw a wild pitch, then hit Kyle Stowers with a pitch before getting Agustín Ramírez to ground into a double play that scored a run. Liam Hicks singled to add a third run, and very quickly the Marlins had a 3-0 lead. Meanwhile, Eury Pérez held down the Brewers offense completely through the first five innings, scattering just three hits in them.

The Brewers finally broke through in the sixth inning with a Hamilton leadoff walk. He promptly stole second, and the throw went into centerfield, allowing Hamilton to take off for third. Garrett Mitchell brought him home with an RBI groundout to make it 3-1.

DL Hall entered for Misiorowski in the bottom of the sixth and allowed a pair of hits and a pair of walks, leading to two runs for the Marlins and a 5-1 Miami lead. He was relieved by Grant Anderson after getting just one out. The Brewers had some chances in the eighth with a Sal Frelick pinch-hit single, followed by walks from Garrett Mitchell and Brice Turang to load the bases.
