Preview
The Minnesota Twins wrap up their road trip in Milwaukee on Sunday, August 9, sending left-handed prospect Connor Prielipp to the mound against the Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski at American Family Field. First pitch is scheduled for 2:10 PM ET, with the game available on Twins.TV Presented by Progressive and on WCCO 830 AM and The Wolf 102.9 FM for Twin Cities radio listeners. This is a regular-season contest — every win matters as the calendar pushes deeper into August and roster decisions grow louder.
Twins vs. Brewers Starting Pitching Matchup
Connor Prielipp gets the ball for Minnesota. The left-hander has worked his way into the Twins' rotation, and outings like this one — against a legitimate National League club — are where young arms prove what they're made of. Prielipp will need to manage a Brewers lineup built around some genuine offensive threats.
On the other side, Milwaukee counter with Jacob Misiorowski, a hard-throwing right-hander who has shown the kind of stuff that gives opposing lineups trouble. The Twins will need to be disciplined early and work counts if they want to get into Milwaukee's bullpen.

Keys to Watch for Minnesota
Royce Lewis in the Middle of the Order
Lewis sliding into the two-hole at first base puts him in prime position to set the table or drive in Larnach. When Lewis is locked in, the Twins offense has a different dimension. His at-bats against Misiorowski's heater will be worth watching closely.
Prielipp's Command Against a Patient Brewers Lineup
Milwaukee's lineup — anchored by Jackson Chourio at the top and William Contreras hitting cleanup — has the patience to run up pitch counts. Prielipp's ability to throw strikes early in counts and limit free passes will be the defining factor in how deep he goes into this game.
Brooks Lee Continues to Build His Case
Lee at third base in the five-spot is a player with something to prove at the major league level. An August game against a quality opponent is exactly the kind of opportunity that shapes roster trajectories heading into the final stretch of the season.
Brewers Lineup Minnesota Must Contain
Milwaukee is rolling out a lineup that demands respect. Jackson Chourio leads it off in left field, and William Contreras sits in the cleanup spot as the designated hitter. Gary Sánchez adds veteran presence behind the plate at seven. Prielipp cannot afford to fall behind hitters in this order — they will make him pay.
Prediction
This is a winnable game for the Twins if Prielipp can give them five competitive innings and the offense stays disciplined against Misiorowski's stuff. Lewis and Bell in the middle of the lineup represent real run-producing upside. Minnesota has enough pieces to grind out a road win here. Twins 4, Brewers 3.
