NEW YORK (AP) --- Jackson Chourio went 4 for 5 with two homers, four RBIs and
four runs to help Jacob Misiorowski and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the New York
Mets 8-2 on Thursday night.
Misiorowski (14-5) overcame some command issues and reduced velocity --- at
least by his standards --- to allow two hits and strike out six over six
innings.
Both hits he gave up came in the fifth, when Jacob Young had an RBI double and
Christopher Morel laced a run-scoring single.
Nine of Misiorowski's 95 pitches were clocked at 100 mph, with none reaching
101 mph. He walked two batters for the second consecutive outing after issuing
four walks in seven starts from July 2 through Aug. 15.
The 6-foot-7 right-hander appeared to have issues with his landing foot on the
slippery Citi Field mound. Brewers manager Pat Murphy had a discussion with
third base umpire and crew chief Vic Carapazza in the third, when Misiorowski
fell behind 2-0 on Francisco Alvarez following a walk to Morel. The grounds
crew spent a few minutes working on the mound before the bottom of the fourth.
Andrew Vaughn, Gary Snchez, William Contreras and Cooper Pratt each had an RBI
for the Brewers (83-51), who are three games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers
for the best record in the big leagues.
Batting leadoff, Chourio hit two-run shots off Sean Manaea (4-6) in the first
and Xzavion Curry in the eighth. The two-homer game was the third this season
for Chourio and fifth of his career --- plus another one in the 2024 playoffs
against the Mets.
Manaea gave up six runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings as Milwaukee took two
of three games in the series.
Up next
Brewers: Return home Friday, when RHP Logan Henderson (8-2, 2.60 ERA) opposes
the Texas Rangers and LHP Cody Bradford (0-2, 3.05).
Mets: RHP Christian Scott (4-3, 3.73 ERA) starts Friday at home against RHP
Hunter Brown (3-3, 3.51) and the Houston Astros.
