Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski prepares for a historic World Series Game 5 assignment against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. The 24-year-old right-hander faces an unprecedented challenge as he will start a postseason game that isn't a series opener for the first time in his career. The Brewers lead the series 3-1 heading into the matchup at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Misiorowski, who has won his lone playoff start, now enters Game 5 with a 1-0 record and a 2.70 ERA across 13 1/3 innings pitched. Manager Pat Murphy opted to start Misiorowski rather than use him in relief during Tuesday's extra innings, marking just his seventh career start on four days' rest. A Brewers victory would secure the franchise's first championship since 1967, while a Rays win would force a decisive Game 6 on Friday.
