Brewers lose to Diamondbacks in final tune-up for Jacob Misiorowski
· Yahoo Sports
The Brewers announced prior to Friday night’s game that Jacob Misiorowski will be the Crew’s Opening Day starter against the Chicago White Sox. With that spot secured, Misiorowski got five “ups” in his final spring training tune-up before the regular season.

Because of re-entry rules, Misiorowski ends up with 4.1 IP, allowing four hits and four runs with three strikeouts on a blistering hot day in Arizona. He topped out at 100.1 MPH on his fastball and generated 14 swings and misses.
Logan Henderson ended up following Misiorowski and threw two scoreless innings while striking out three.
Offensively, the Brewers got WBC champions Jackson Chourio and William Contreras back in the lineup and they wasted no time making an impact. Chourio led off the game with a double and Contreras smacked a 446 foot home run in the 3rd inning. Jake Bauers followed Contreras’ homer with one of his own, which is his fifth of the spring. Both homers were off Zac Gallen.

Sal Frelick went 3-for-3 on the night with a double and 3 RBIs. In the 4th inning, 9-hole hitter Freddy Zamora led off with a home run that tied the game at 6, his first homer of the spring. In the 5th, Bauers and Frelick hit back-to-back doubles to give the Brewers a 7-6 lead.
In the 8th inning, Jose Nova came in for the Brewers to relieve Henderson and allowed a 2 RBI double to Jakey Josepha to give the Diamondbacks an 8-7 lead over the Crew. Milwaukee had no answer in the 9th inning and didn’t get a single baserunner after the 5th inning.
The Brewers will be back in action on Saturday against the Padres with Robert Gasser scheduled to start.
