The Milwaukee Brewers wrap up their road trip with a Sunday night showdown against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with first pitch set for 7:20 PM ET. Jacob Misiorowski gets the ball for Milwaukee opposite Baltimore's Brandon Young in a late-September regular season matchup that carries real weight as both clubs navigate the final stretch of the 2026 schedule. The game airs nationally on Peacock/NBCSN and locally on WTMJ 620 AM for Brewers fans tuning in from back home in Wisconsin.
Brewers vs. Orioles Pitching Matchup: Misiorowski vs. Young
Jacob Misiorowski is Milwaukee's arm of choice on Sunday night, and there's no denying the intrigue surrounding the hard-throwing right-hander every time he takes the hill. Misiorowski has the kind of raw stuff that makes hitters uncomfortable, and a late-September start at a historic ballpark like Camden Yards is exactly the stage where young pitchers either seize the moment or let it swallow them whole. The Brewers will need him to command his fastball and keep Baltimore's lineup off-balance through the middle innings.
Brandon Young gets the nod for the Orioles. Young is a name worth watching on the Baltimore side, and pitching at home in front of the Camden Yards faithful gives him a familiar backdrop heading into this one. Milwaukee's lineup will need to do its homework and look to work counts early if they want to get into the Baltimore bullpen before this game slips away.
Keys to Watch for Milwaukee
- Misiorowski's command: If he's locating his secondary pitches, the Brewers have a shot at a quality start. If the walks pile up, Baltimore's lineup will make them pay.
- Offensive patience: Working pitch counts against a starter the Brewers may not have deep scouting familiarity with will be critical. Getting into the Orioles bullpen early flips the advantage Milwaukee's way.
- Bullpen management: A Sunday night game on the road in September means every out from the relief corps matters. The Brewers' backend depth will be tested if Misiorowski doesn't go deep.
- Camden Yards atmosphere: Oriole Park is one of baseball's best venues, and a late-season crowd with playoff implications in the air can energize a home team. Milwaukee has to be sharp and focused from the first inning.

Prediction
This is a game that hinges almost entirely on what version of Jacob Misiorowski shows up. If he's dealing — fastball alive, breaking ball snapping — the Brewers have the tools to grind out a win on the road. Baltimore at home in September is no easy out, and Brandon Young will be motivated to perform in front of his home crowd. Call it a tight, low-scoring game that comes down to a handful of at-bats late. The Brewers have enough to steal this one, but it won't be clean. Slight edge to Milwaukee, 4-3, if Misiorowski can give them five solid innings and the bullpen holds the line.
