Brewers Bullpen Dominates Rockies in Extra Innings Thriller
7 Jun
Summary
- Brewers bullpen secured a late win in extra innings.
- Rockies face MLB strikeout leader Jacob Misiorowski next.
- Tanner Gordon is on the injured list; Zach Agnos starts.
The Colorado Rockies experienced a downturn in their recent game against the Milwaukee Brewers, ultimately losing in extra innings after their bullpen struggled. This sets the stage for a challenging Game 2, as the Rockies are slated to face Jacob Misiorowski, a pitcher currently leading Major League Baseball in strikeouts (108), WHIP (0.79), and batting average against (.150).
The Rockies have a history of struggling against elite pitchers this season, having already faced notable names like Paul Skenes, Shohei Ohtani, Cristopher Sánchez, Chris Sale, and Chase Burns with unfavorable results. Misiorowski's stats indicate he will present the toughest pitching challenge for the Rockies' offense to date.
Compounding their difficulties, the Rockies' probable starting pitcher, Tanner Gordon, has been placed on the injured list. The team announced that Zach Agnos will start in his place. Agnos's recent performance has been inconsistent, with a strong five-scoreless-inning outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 21st, followed by significant struggles in relief appearances, where he allowed 14 runs across his last two games.
