The Milwaukee Brewers knocked off the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 on Sunday, September 27, at American Family Field, getting a dominant outing from Jacob Misiorowski and a big day at the plate from Jackson Chourio to earn the two-run divisional victory. Misiorowski worked 5.1 innings, allowing just two hits and no earned runs while striking out five. Chourio went 3-for-4 with two RBI, and Gary Sánchez added a solo home run that gave Milwaukee a cushion it would need when the bullpen briefly let things get interesting late.

Misiorowski Controls the Cardinals Through Five-Plus Innings

Misiorowski was the story early and he delivered. The right-hander kept St. Louis off the board through 5.1 innings, scattering two hits and two walks against five strikeouts. André Pallante took the loss for the Cardinals after surrendering all six Milwaukee runs on 10 hits across five innings, finishing with a 6.00 ERA for the afternoon. The Brewers did their damage early and often against him, building a lead that Misiorowski protected with precision.

DL Hall followed Misiorowski and was equally sharp, posting 1.2 scoreless innings on zero hits with one strikeout. Those two combined to get Milwaukee to the seventh comfortably.

Chourio and Sánchez Power the Brewers Offense

Jackson Chourio was the offensive engine on Sunday. The outfielder went 3-for-4 with two RBI, doing consistent damage against Pallante and keeping Milwaukee's lineup churning. He was the kind of presence at the plate that kept Cardinals pitchers working from behind all afternoon.

Gary Sánchez provided the big blow. The catcher went 1-for-4 but made it count with a two-run home run that extended Milwaukee's advantage. Those two runs proved essential when the bullpen ran into trouble in the eighth.

Chad Patrick Stumbles, Shane Drohan Slams the Door

The only real scare came courtesy of Chad Patrick in the eighth inning. Patrick recorded just one out before giving up four earned runs on two hits and two walks, turning a comfortable lead into a two-run game. Leo Bernal did the bulk of the damage for St. Louis, going 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and finishing with three RBI on the afternoon.

That's when Shane Drohan stepped in and steadied the ship. The left-hander threw 1.2 innings of scoreless relief, striking out two and allowing zero hits or walks to earn the save. Drohan's clean finish locked down the win and ended what had briefly become an uncomfortable situation for the home crowd at American Family Field.

What Is Next for the Brewers

Milwaukee takes the win and moves forward from this divisional matchup. The Brewers got quality starting pitching, timely hitting from their top performers, and ultimately enough relief work to close things out. Patrick's rough eighth is a conversation worth having going forward, but Drohan answered the bell when it mattered most. Milwaukee did what it needed to do against a division rival on Sunday afternoon — and that's exactly the kind of result that holds up.
