After taking the series opener in a hard-fought 8–6 victory on Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers (8–2) look to continue their dominant start to the 2026 season tonight as they take the field at Fenway Park tonight for Game 2 of their three-game series against the struggling Boston Red Sox (2–8).
Tonight looks on paper to be a classic pitchers’ duel with the Brewers sending right-hander Jacob Misiorowski to the mound and the Red Sox summoning their ace, Garrett Crochet.
Last night, Christian Yelich led the Brewers with three hits and Garrett Mitchell drove in a pair as Milwaukee rallied late for their fifth win in their last six games. Willson Contreras picked up three hits for the Sox in the loss. Offense has been the issue to start the 2026 campaign for Boston but with the club scoring 12 runs over the past two games, the hope is the bats are waking up in Beantown.
The Brewers lead the National League’s Central Division by one game over Cincinnati and two over Pittsburgh while Boston sits in the cellar in the American League East already 5.5 games behind the first-place Yankees.
Lets dive into tonight’s matchup and the opener of this three-game series and find a sweat or two.
