Both teams have now each won one game heading into today’s rubber match, which pits Kyle Harrison against right-hander Griffin Canning.
Milwaukee has embraced a youth movement within its rotation, but Harrison (2. 41 ERA, 1. 22 WHIP) has been pitching like a seasoned veteran.
He hasn’t allowed more than two runs in any of his seven appearances while striking out just over eleven batters per nine innings. However, Harrison is coming off a slightly more stressful outing against the Yankees. The left-hander allowed just two runs on four hits, but walked four batters, allowed at least one baserunner in every inning, and lasted only four innings.
He’ll look to bounce back against a Padres lineup that Misiorowski dominated last night. San Diego is starting former Gold Glove winner Griffin Canning, who made his season debut on May 3 after spending the early part of the year rehabbing an Achilles tear suffered last season with the Mets. Canning posted a career-best 3.
