World Series Could End As Jacob Misiorowski Takes The Mound For Brewers
- The Milwaukee Brewers confirmed Jacob Misiorowski will start Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at Tropicana Field with a 3-1 series lead over the Tampa Bay Rays.
- Manager Pat Murphy revealed the decision following a 4-3 Game 4 loss, stating Misiorowski was unavailable Tuesday to reserve the ace for this opportunity to clinch the championship.
- In the series opener, Misiorowski pitched five innings, allowing one run and striking out three. The right-hander led the major leagues with 252 strikeouts this season but currently pitches on four days' rest.
- Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash noted his team must be "all hands on deck" following their victory. The Rays remain diminished, having exhausted bullpen resources including closer Bryan Baker during the marathon contest.
- With three games remaining in the seven-game series, Milwaukee aims to secure its first championship. The Brewers hope their ace can prevent the series from becoming a battle of attrition against Tampa Bay.
