Brewers vs Twins Recap: Misiorowski Shines in 2-1 Win

The Milwaukee Brewers visited Minnesota's Target Field on Saturday, May 16, ready for a tight matchup against the Twins. Both teams came in hungry for a win, especially after their previous meeting where Milwaukee showed late-game power. When the final out was recorded, the Brewers walked away victorious with a 2–1 win. The Twins struck first with a run in the third inning when Larnach crushed a fastball 363 feet over the right field wall. His swing was powerful, with an exit velocity of 102 miles per hour that sent the crowd into stunned silence. However, Milwaukee refused to stay quiet for long. The Brewers answered back quickly, showing their own offensive firepower throughout the game. This defensive battle would require clutch hitting from both sides as pitchers dominated much of the action.

Milwaukee's resilience shined through as they battled back against the Twins' early advantage. In the fourth inning, Brewers runners found themselves in scoring position when Rengifo stepped up to the plate. A fielding error by the Twins' third baseman Lewis allowed Turang to score, tying the game at 1–1. The groundball wasn't a flashy hit—it traveled only 11 feet—but it showed how baseball rewards smart baserunning. Two innings later, the Brewers took their first lead when Chourio launched a changeup deep to left-center field. The ball soared 400 feet through the air, an impressive blast with an exit velocity of 103 miles per hour. That home run proved to be the deciding blow in a pitcher's duel. Both teams' starting pitchers worked hard to keep runs off the board throughout this intense matchup.

Chourio's home run in the sixth inning turned out to be the game-winner, separating these competitive teams in a defensive battle. The Brewers held their 2–1 lead through the final three innings while their pitching staff shut down the Twins' bats. Although Minnesota managed seven hits throughout the game, they couldn't string together the hits when it mattered most. Milwaukee's pitchers worked with precision, recording zero errors while keeping Minnesota off the scoreboard after the early run. The Twins recorded one error in the field, which showed the tight margins in this contest. When the ninth inning ended without any scoring, the Brewers celebrated a hard-fought road victory. This win improved Milwaukee's record to 26–17, positioning them well within their division. The Twins fell to 20–26, continuing their recent struggles on a tough homestand.
