Jacob Misiorowski delivered a strong pitching performance as the Milwaukee Brewers overcame the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 in the first game of a split doubleheader on Tuesday. Misiorowski, who improved to 10-4 on the season, struck out 11 batters over seven innings, allowing three hits—including two home runs—while issuing no walks.

Christian Yelich contributed significantly to the Brewers’ offense, driving in two runs that helped secure the victory. The Brewers, leading the National League Central division, rallied to claim the win in a closely contested matchup.

In a notable roster move ahead of the doubleheader, Milwaukee activated outfield prospect Luis Lara from Triple-A Nashville and optioned outfielder Blake Perkins back to the minors. Lara, 21, was still pitching in Nashville at the time the Brewers signed him last month to a seven-year contract reportedly worth $31 million. The deal extends through the 2032 season and includes club options for 2033, 2034, and 2035.

Lara’s promotion marks a significant step in his development after signing the long-term contract, highlighting the organization’s confidence in the young outfielder’s potential. The Brewers look to maintain their position atop the NL Central as the season progresses, bolstered by strong pitching and emerging talent.
