Milwaukee Brewers beat Reds, extend streak as Misiorowski skips All-Star

The Milwaukee Brewers continued their dominance over the Cincinnati Reds, winning the latest two meetings 7-2 and 4-2, extending their season series advantage to six straight victories. Key hits came from Jake Bauers, Jackson Chourio, and Garrett Mitchell, while pitcher Jacob Misiorowski struck out 10 in five innings despite surrendering five runs (four unearned) in the 7-2 loss.

Misiorowski, who leads the majors with 156 strikeouts and posts a 1.45 ERA, said he will not pitch in the upcoming All‑Star Game because his next start on July 12 makes him ineligible. He expressed disappointment but remains focused on the stretch run. The pitcher also tied an historic record with Toronto’s Dylan Cease, each recording three starts of 10+ strikeouts in under six innings—a feat not seen since 1900.

The series finale features another marquee matchup, with Misiorowski slated to start against Reds ace Chase Burns, who holds a 2.36 ERA. Both pitchers are among the top five in the National League for run prevention, setting up a high‑profile duel in Milwaukee’s home dome.
