Christian Yelich just like what he has been doing for the Milwaukee Brewers since 2018 lead the team’s comeback over rivals Chicago Cubs on the first night of their three-game series.
The 2018 National League MVP recorded his 20th homer this season after going 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs.
The hosts went down early in the first inning after surrendering three runs but they were able to get back to the game in the third inning by scoring four runs. They were dominant since then to finish the game and take home the 8-4 victory.
It was a win that kept Brewers at the edge of their seat not only because of the intense rivalry but also because of what’s at stake in the game – the no. 1 spot in the MLB standings.
Another source of excitement in the game was Jacob Misiorowski who met Chicago Cubs for the first time. He is still being watched intently with some thinking that what he’s been doing is a fluke.
He fumbled in the first inning and some thought it was reality check.
The Miz just got nailed with a reality check. Probably will be good for him big picture. You haven’t arrived yet, young fella. But you will.

Christian Yelich found his favorite Jacob Misiorowski start
Detractors thought the Miz was about to have a meltdown but they were dead wrong. Instead, he managed to turn a disastrous start to one of the best performances by a starter ever.
He made 40 throws in the first inning but became more efficient in the next three when he retired the next 10 batters in a total of 38 pitches.
Misiorowski broke the MLB internet again and he also gave teammate and leader Yelich his most favorite start of his rookie/All-Star teammate.
“I told him, ‘It was my favorite start you’ve had in the big leagues, honestly,'” Yelich told reporters after the gane.
“All the cruising and the ‘punchies’ and all that stuff is fun and exciting, but this shows you a lot about what he’s made of out there when it’s kind of hitting the fan on him.”
The Brewers and the Cubs will renew their rivalry on Tuesday.
