Milwaukee Brewers at Baltimore Orioles

Jacob Misiorowski (15-5, 1.86 ERA) came in off a scoreless, 7-strikeout outing against Pittsburgh and picked up right where he left off, working 3 innings and allowing just 1 hit with 4 strikeouts and no walks before handing it to the bullpen. Brandon Young (9-4, 3.62 ERA) matched him for stretches — 6 innings, 9 strikeouts — but a William Contreras solo home run in the 4th and a pair of Cooper Pratt RBI singles were enough to hang a loss on him.

Milwaukee blanked Baltimore 3-0 to complete a series sweep, with Jacob Misiorowski working 3 scoreless innings before a shutout bullpen and a William Contreras homer did the rest. The win was the Brewers' 98th of the season, a new franchise record, while Baltimore's thinned-out lineup — already missing Holliday, Robert, Mountcastle and O'Neill for the year — managed just 4 hits and never threatened.

Brewers

• +Misiorowski allowed just 1 hit over 3 scoreless innings
• +Contreras' 4th-inning homer supplied the cushion
• +Completed a 3-game sweep, 98th win a franchise record
• −Misiorowski limited to 3 innings, taxing the bullpen
• −Offense managed only 6 hits against Young

Orioles

• +Young struck out 9 over 6 innings despite the loss
• +Kept it a 1-score game into the middle innings
• −Shut out for 9 innings on just 4 hits
• −Lost all 3 games of the series
• −Lineup without Holliday, Robert, Mountcastle and O'Neill produced nothing

Baltimore's lineup card was already stripped down before first pitch, with Jackson Holliday, Luis Robert Jr. and Ryan Mountcastle all unavailable and Tyler O'Neill lost for the season days earlier. A group missing that much thump had nothing to answer Contreras' homer with, and Milwaukee's bullpen made sure it never got the chance — 4 hits allowed across 9 innings.

This one also closed out a series Baltimore never got off the ground in — Milwaukee took all 3 meetings — and the Orioles managed a single run across the last 2 games of the set. That's a club playing out a fading season against one that just kept adding to its win total for reasons well beyond this series.

The win was Milwaukee's 98th of the season, a new franchise record that breaks the mark the club had set just a year earlier. Misiorowski's role in it lines up with everything he's done all September — a dominant arm at the front of a rotation that's now setting records with a month still to play.

The Polymarket chat lit up around the record chase and Contreras' blast, with the busiest 5-minute stretch of the night landing right as the Brewers were putting it away. One poster summed up the mood with a simple "BANG home run," while another holding Baltimore insisted "Baltimore takes this" well before the Orioles' bats went cold for good.

Milwaukee's own injury list is mostly rotation and bullpen depth already banked for October — Brandon Woodruff, Quinn Priester, Brian Fitzpatrick and Angel Zerpa are all out for the year — and none of it touched Sunday's roster. With the division long since wrapped up, the record chase and the push for the NL's No. 1 seed gave the Brewers every reason to keep pushing even with nothing left to clinch in this series.
