Summary
Jacob Misiorowski enters Milwaukee's matchup at Pittsburgh leading MLB with a 1.62 ERA, 167 strikeouts and a 0.76 WHIP, making the Brewers-Pirates game a rare regular-season pitching showcase.
The 10-4 right-hander has allowed more than three earned runs in no start this season, though his two July outings account for four earned runs after he gave up only four across 10 starts in May and June.
Paul Skenes brings a 7-8 record and 3.58 ERA for Pittsburgh, well above his usual standard, with 30 earned runs allowed over his past 10 games despite a dominant seven scoreless innings against Milwaukee earlier this year.
Milwaukee arrives 25 games over .500 with baseball's second-best record, while the 47-47 Pirates have improved offensively but still carry a staff 4.32 ERA and 1.31 WHIP during their rebuild.
