Misiorowski powers Brewers’ five-solo-homer outburst, Rockies fall 7-1 at Coors Field

The Milwaukee Brewers kept the pressure on the Colorado Rockies late, turning a game that hung around into a 7-1 victory at Coors Field on Saturday, June 6, 2026. After Colorado got its only run on a fifth-inning hit, the Brewers put five solo homers in the scoring log and stretched a lead that grew into a bullpen-driven finish.

Misiorowski, Milwaukee’s starter, delivered the kind of start that steadies a lineup from the first inning. He retired Colorado through stretches with his pace and command, finishing with eight strikeouts over seven innings. MLB’s game story highlighted his velocity feast, including 52 pitches recorded at 100 mph or higher, and a record 45 pitches at 101 mph or higher, while CBS Sports’ recap also noted a 103.7 mph pitch.

The Brewers’ run support built early and stayed efficient. Brice Turang opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first inning, and David Hamilton added a second solo homer in the second. Those shots helped put the Rockies behind before they could settle in offensively, and Misiorowski’s work kept Colorado from catching up despite a key moment in the middle innings. MLB’s game story said Misiorowski escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth, preventing the Rockies from making a closer, more dangerous game out of it.

Colorado finally scratched for its only run in the fifth inning. Kyle Karros drove in a run with a double, trimming Milwaukee’s margin to 2-1, but the deficit did not last long. William Contreras answered in the seventh with a solo home run, and once Milwaukee added more in the eighth, the score quickly became beyond reach for Colorado’s bullpen and lineup.

The late damage came in a tidy, high-leverage way for the Brewers. MLB’s highlights show that after Misiorowski’s exit, relievers Brennan Bernardino and TJ Shook were part of the sequence that allowed additional home runs, including Turang’s second solo shot and Jake Bauers’ solo homer. With those back-to-back blows, the Brewers’ margin grew to 7-1, and the Rockies never mounted another meaningful rally.

The overall matchup underscored where each club sat in the season picture. Milwaukee entered with a strong standing, listed as first in the NL Central, while Colorado was mired deeper in the standings. Yahoo’s game preview framed it as an uphill battle for the Rockies, citing the strikeout gap for their offense.

One win like this matters for two reasons beyond the final margin. It reinforces that Milwaukee can win in multiple ways, with rotation dominance from Misiorowski’s strikeout-heavy baseline and power that turns late innings into instant separation. For Colorado, it is another reminder that pitching and late-inning execution will decide whether games at Coors Field stay close. The teams turn the page quickly with another game on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at Coors Field.
