Rays-Brewers World Series Showdown Set to Open With Misiorowski on the Mound
A surprising World Series showdown between the Rays and Brewers is set to open, featuring the Milwaukee Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski on the mound with his record-setting heat.
Minot Bismarck Dickinson, ND, October 22, 2026 —
A World Series matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers is set to open, with Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski named as the starting pitcher and described as bringing “record-setting heat.” The brief announcement offers few details about the matchup, including when or where the opener will take place.
The description characterizes the showdown as surprising, but does not explain why the pairing is unexpected or provide background on either team’s path to the series. It also does not specify what record Misiorowski’s heat refers to, provide a velocity measurement, or identify when the record was set. Those details were not provided.
Misiorowski’s role on the mound is the main specific element of the announcement. No further information was included about the rest of the starting lineups, the opposing pitcher, team records, player statistics or the expected course of the game. The account also does not say whether any changes to the announced pitching plan are possible.
With the available information limited to the teams and the named Brewers pitcher, the opener’s broader context remains unclear. The date, venue and circumstances behind the description of the series as surprising were not provided. No score, result or subsequent developments were included, so the announcement establishes only that the matchup is set to begin with Misiorowski on the mound for Milwaukee.
