The Milwaukee Brewers are 87-53 on the season following their second consecutive come-from-behind victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.

If the Milwaukee Brewers want to upset the Los Angeles Dodgers in the postseason and reach the World Series, they will need Jacob Misiorowski to be on top of his game.

You don’t need me to tell you how good Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has been all year, but he really turned things on in August.

That was one of the more frustrating games of the year. That’s a reasonably high bar too as there have been a lot of lousy, frustrating games.

What if I had told you Wednesday afternoon that in the game in which the Cubs had to face Jacob Misiorowski, they’d pretty much give him the worst beatdown of his MLB career?

Box Score When it’s 90 degrees at Wrigley Field, games tend to be exciting — even when an ace is on the mound. On paper, this was a lopsided pitching matchup, with Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski facing off against the Cubs’ David Peterson.
