Brewers vs Red Sox Preview: Young Guns, Old Arms Clash

Tuesday brings the Brewers to Fenway Park for an April matchup. Fenway feels tight and loud, with fans leaning in on every pitch. Milwaukee enters 8-2 and looks efficient, athletic, and gritty. Jacob Misiorowski draws the start, a hard thrower with breakout potential. Boston counters with Garrett Crochet, a dominant ace who throws lots of strikeouts.

Milwaukee’s rotation has questions after Freddy Peralta left, but also upside. Misiorowski brings electric velocity and raw stuff that can overwhelm hitters. Quinn Priester gives depth and steadiness, a young arm the team trusts to handle more work. Trevor Megill remains the reliable closer after 30 saves last season, so late innings look solid for Milwaukee.

Boston leans on Garrett Crochet, who established himself as a dominant starter after joining the team. The rotation also gained Sonny Gray and Ranger Suárez to add experience and innings. Aroldis Chapman still finishes games as the veteran closer. On offense, Jarren Duran brings speed and can stretch hits into extra bases, pressuring defenses all game.

Watch Brice Turang for elite defense and basepath attacks that change innings. William Contreras anchors Milwaukee’s offense and guides pitchers as catcher. Note injuries: Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn are on the 10-day IL, while Jared Koenig and Rob Zastryzny are on 15-day IL. As a result, each team tests depth and young arms early in April.
