Manager Pat Murphy's Milwaukee Brewers made history in Game 1 of the World Series, scoring a win over the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 3-2 behind ace hurler Jacob Misiorowski. The Brewers planned to send Logan Henderson to the mound for Game 2 giving Misiorowski a chance to relax beforehand.
The Brewers star was spotted near the dugout, as shared by MLB Network's Jon Heyman, as he began trading Pokemon cards with a young fan.
Misiorowski has become a favorite player for fans of all ages as he has led the Brewers to huge win after huge win, including a sweep over the back-to-back defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. Misiorowski made World Series history on his first pitch of Game 1, scorching the radar gun with a fastball that looked like something out of a Disney movie.
The Brewers' starting pitching was seen as lacking depth compared to the Rays heading into the World Series, but Misiorwoski did his job, giving way to Henderson for Game 2 at American Family Field in Milwaukee. Henderson has compiled statistics in recent games that have given the Brewers confidence that he can lead his team to victory.
The Brewers' home ballpark can hold nearly 42,000 fans, and they appear united behind their team in pursuit of their first-ever World Series championship. Misiorowski might not get the chance to pitch for Murphy's team for a few games, but he is clearly making the most of his time in the fall classic as fans continue to enjoy the ride headed deep into October.
