​Baseball fans will miss Jacob Misiorowski’s appearance in the 2026 All-Star Game next week, but a nationwide audience will get a clearer view of his second showdown with 2025 Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes. The matchup will cap the three-game series between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Pittsburgh Pirates just before the four-day All-Star break begins. The game will be streamed exclusively on Peacock, which may disappoint some local Brewers supporters, yet it opens the contest to viewers across the country.
Last season at American Family Field, Misiorowski edged ahead of Skenes in a competitive duel. In his third start for the Brewers, Misiorowski threw five scoreless innings and recorded eight strikeouts, while Skenes lasted four innings and allowed four runs. Misiorowski has emerged as an early Cy Young favorite this season, though Skenes has not been in the running for a repeat. Skenes sits at 7-8 with a 3.58 ERA and 123 strikeouts through 103 innings. Over his last seven starts, he has gone 1-3 with a 4.78 ERA, surrendering 40 hits in 37⅔ innings.
Fans can catch Brewers versus Pirates on Friday and Saturday via Fubo, with Sunday’s game on Peacock. The Pirates and Brewers rank third and fourth in the Majors in runs scored. While Milwaukee continues to lead the National League Central in run differential, Pittsburgh has tallied 492 runs in 94 games and Milwaukee has 476 runs in 93 games. The Brewers hold a 19-7 (.731) record against NL Central opponents, but Pittsburgh did take two of three from Milwaukee in April at American Family Field.
