Brewers battle Braves, and very little about the series will be normal
Including a Cy Young showdown, strange start times, a battle for NL superiority and a trip to Pennsylvania, the Braves-Brewers series has a lot.
The Milwaukee Brewers will face the Atlanta Braves in a three-game series from August 21-23, 2023, in an unusual setting. The series will kick off on Friday, August 21, at 3:10 p.m. CT, with the Braves' Chris Sale pitching against the Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski at American Family Field in Milwaukee. Misiorowski, who leads the league in strikeouts (210) and has a 1.75 ERA, will face Sale, who has a 2.16 ERA and an impressive WHIP of 1.016.
The second game is scheduled for Saturday, August 22, at 1:10 p.m. CT, with the Braves' Martín Pérez taking on the Brewers' Logan Henderson. The finale will take place on Sunday, August 23, at 6:10 p.m. CT in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, with Tyler Mahle of the Braves pitching against Shane Drohan of the Brewers. This unique series comes as both teams battle for a first-round playoff berth, as the top two teams in the National League receive a first-round bye.
The Friday game will have special significance as it honors Milwaukee's Black culture, with a Black Culture Fest taking place before the game.
