Brewers Face Back-to-Back Cy Young Winners

0:00On April 22nd, Brewer's infielders are stepping into some rare baseball history this week, facing back-to-back reigning Sai Young winners in consecutive. Gaines. First up is American League champ Tariq Skubal today in Detroit. Then National League ace Paul Schienes tomorrow. This matchup is only the second time ever a team has drawn that kind of pitching punch. It happened once before last May, when David Hamilton and the Red Sox face Skubal on a getaway day in Detroit, then hosted Chris Sale in the Braves, two days later, back home. Before interleague play kicked off in 1997 and balanced schedules hit in 2023, these showdowns were nearly impossible. Without pitchers switching leagues. Brewer's players and manager Pam Murphy see it as a prime test, especially early in the season. Catcher William Contreras called it a good challenge, while Murphy highlighted the upside for a banged-up squad. They're living in the moment, attacking one pitcher at a time without peeking ahead.

1:00The Brewer's are missing key hitters like Christian Yelich, with a groin strain, and Jackson Churio, and Andrew Vaughn nursing, fractured hands. Skubal has owned them so far, going 2-0 with a 0.66 ERA and 19 strikeouts in two starts. But they figured out Schienes lately, winning the last two meetings and chasing him after four innings each time with four earned runs. Hamilton, who lived this history once, keeps his simple, crazy life. Man, stay present without looking too far ahead or behind. The Brewer's roll-on, turning this gauntlet into fuel for the grind.
