The Milwaukee Brewers are more than prepared for game three against the Chicago Cubs, especially knowing that Jacob Misiorowski will be on the mound.

Misiorowski is the Cy Young frontrunner, and for good reason. What he's done in his 25 starts this season is truly incredible, and his league-leading ERA (1.73), WHIP (0.75), and strikeouts (222) really put that into perspective.

Fresh off a come-from-behind victory, the Brewers know they need just two more wins against the Cubs this season to secure the season series.

Misiorowski is no stranger to the Cubs, and two of his three career postseason appearances have come against this team.

The 24-year-old is 14-5 this season and has just one loss in his last eight starts, so it'll be interesting to see if that trend continues at Wrigley Field.

Back on May 19, Misiorowski went to Chicago and put together a dominant six-inning start that saw him strike out eight batters, allow three hits, and only one walk. He threw 74 pitches in that one, so there was plenty of reason to believe he could've gone deeper into that one.

Regardless, the Brewers won that contest 5-2 as Misiorowski improved to 4-2 on the year.

His other appearance against the Cubs this year came on June 26, another game that saw the Brewers come out victorious.

The Brewers won that game, 6-2, mostly due to Misiorowski's six-inning start, which saw him strike out eight batters and allow just two hits, though one of those was a solo home run. Walks were an issue for Miz in that game as he walked four batters, which is tied for his most in a single game in his career.

For the third time in his young career, Misiorowski is set to start a game at Wrigley Field. His other start came on Aug. 20, 2025, where he allowed three earned runs on just one hit. Misiorowski was pulled after four innings in an outing that saw him strike out five batters and walk three.

Surprisingly, one of his eight career losses came in that game. The Brewers fell 4-3 as their offense failed to give the Missouri native enough run support to turn things around.

Here on Sept. 2, Misiorowski has a chance to not only extend the Brewers' lead in the National League Central, but also keep pushing forward as this team looks to finish with the best record in all of baseball for the second straight season.
