This will be the 445th meeting of the Cardinals and Brewers.

Jacob Misiorowski, the top pitching prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, is set to make his major league debut Thursday night in the opener of a four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals.



Misiorowski, 23, who entered this season as the third-best prospect in the organization according to Baseball America, arrived Tuesday night from Triple-A Nashville.

The 6-foot-7 right hander went 4-2 with a 2.13 ERA in 13 games, including 12 starts. He struck out 80 in 63 1/3 innings and walked 31.

Misiorowski was selected in the second round of the 2022 amateur draft out of Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri.Misiorowski's fastball averages 97-98 mph and has surpassed 100 mph on occasion. A slider, curveball and changeup complement his fastball.

Coming from Blue Springs, Missouri, he followed the Cardinals.

Now, he's facing them.

"I think it's really cool to face a team I grew up watching all the time," he said. "So, I'm excited."

Misiorowski will take the spot of right-hander Aaron Civale (1-2, 4.91 ERA) in the rotation.

Countering Misiorowski in his ML debut will be Cardinals ace Sonny Gray. St. Louis looks to Gray to stop a 4 game skid in which Cardinals pitching has underperformed compared to earlier in the season.



Sonny Gray has a 5-1 record with an ERA of 3.03 and 62 strikeouts in 10 appearances in his last 10 games. He is 4-5 with an ERA of 3.23 and 120 strikeouts in 17 appearances against the Brewers in his career.

In their last 10 games, the St. Louis Cardinals pitching staff has posted a 4.95 ERA. This is significantly higher than the Brewers during the same period, who had a 2.93 ERA. During this time, the Cardinals have been outscored by 14 runs. For context, their overall team ERA for the season is 3.78, ranking 13th in the league indicating a dramatic decline in pitching effectiveness.
