Misiorowski: Brewers are 'a team to be reckoned with'

Milwaukee takes a 2-1 series lead into Sunday's finale

“Year after year, we’re right there with them. We’re competing. I think we’re a team to be reckoned with.” Jacob Misior Via @MLBONFOX on X

What happened: Jacob Misiorowski told Ken Rosenthal after Milwaukee's 4-1 win in Los Angeles that the Brewers are "right there" with the league's top teams, adding "we're competing... a team to be reckoned with." The win put Milwaukee up 2-1 in the series with the Dodgers.

Why it matters: The comments come as the Brewers and Dodgers enter Sunday's series finale at Dodger Stadium each carrying two of the majors' best records this season. Misiorowski's message pushes back on any notion that Milwaukee, which enters the weekend on a five-game losing skid, is fading down the stretch.

By the numbers: Milwaukee is 73-46 this season, averaging 4.8 runs scored and 3.9 allowed per game. Los Angeles is 73-47, averaging 5.0 runs scored and 3.9 allowed.

What to watch: Brewers and Dodgers close out the series Sunday at Dodger Stadium with Milwaukee holding the 2-1 edge.
