BALTIMORE – No, there was nothing wrong with National League Cy Young Award frontrunner Jacob Misiorowski when he departed Sunday’s start against the Orioles after three innings. It was all part of the Brewers’ plan to bring their 24-year–old ace in for a safe landing at the end of the club’s record-setting regular season. Jackson Chourio became the first player in Major League history to secure a third 20-20 season before his 23rd birthday and rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt hit a pair of run-scoring singles in the Brewers’ 3-0 win at Camden Yards, completing a three-game sweep and giving Milwaukee (98-58) a new franchise record for victories with six games still to go. There are still big games ahead. With one more victory or Braves loss, the Brewers would clinch a first-round bye in the postseason. With two more victories, the Brewers would secure the first 100-win season for an NL Central team since the 2016 Cubs. Then there’s the goal of claiming home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
