American Idol star Caleb Flynn was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Monday, after being found guilty of murdering his wife, Ashley Flynn, on February 16.
The 40-year-old broke down in tears as he was convicted of aggravated murder, felonious **** ault and tampering with evidence, after he staged the crime scene to make it appear as though an intruder was responsible for her death.
The jury deliberated for over two hours before they reached a verdict, and Miami County Common Pleas Judge Jeannine Pratt called his actions "abhorrent" before sentencing him to life behind bars.
Caleb was sentenced to life behind bars for murdering his wife
Before his sentence was read out, Caleb maintained in a statement in court that he did not kill his wife, and apologized for how he had spoken about Ashley in texts sent to his mistress, Alleigha Botner.

Caleb Flynn was found guilty of murdering his wife, Ashley Flynn.
An Ohio man who was found guilty of murdering his wife and staging the crime scene to make it seem as if an intruder had broken into their home and fatally shot the mother of two was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Caleb Flynn, 40, a former pastor who once appeared as a contestant on "American Idol" in 2013, was found guilty of aggravated murder and multiple counts of murder, felonious **** ault and tampering with evidence in connection with the death of his wife, 37-year-old Ashley Flynn.
Judge Jeannine Pratt called the former pastor's actions "abhorrent" and "quite honestly impossible to fathom" while handing down the life sentence on Monday.
Caleb Flynn called 911 early on Feb. 16 to report that his wife had been shot by an intruder at their home in Tipp City, north of Dayton. He was arrested three days later. Prosecutors alleged that Caleb Flynn "executed" his wife by shooting her twice in the back of the head in bed so that he could be with his mistress and manipulated the crime scene to make it seem as if an intruder had broken in through the garage.

On September 4, RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX) announced that its Pratt & Whitney business was investing $25 million to expand its manufacturing facility in Niepołomice, Poland.
The site produces complex tubular ****** emblies for both military and commercial engines. The expanded facility will begin operations in 2028 and create over 120 jobs.
Niepołomice already delivers precision components for several engines, including the F135, Pratt & Whitney GTF, and the PW800. The initiative complements the $100 million investment announced in April to boost production and enhance capabilities at the company's facility in Rzeszów, Poland.
The capacity expansion reflects the company's confidence in sustained demand for both commercial and military engine production over the coming years, which is supported by a record backlog of $289 billion at the end of Q2, increasing 22% year-over-year.
This further strengthens RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX)'s manufacturing footprint in Europe, especially in Poland – which is already the company's largest presence outside the U.S. with more than 9,500 employees. The expansion will enhance its regional supply chain capabilities.

Comedian and podcast host Bill Maher called out deep-blue California on Monday and said the state's voters would always support a Democrat, even if their policies were failing, as long as President Donald Trump was ******* ociated with the Republican Party.
During an interview on "Club Random" with David Foster, Maher argued that California would never vote for a Republican as long as Trump was involved in the party.
Maher noted Spencer Pratt, a Republican who finished third in Los Angeles' mayoral race and therefore did not advance to the general election, had the instinct that California had a "failed system," and Maher agreed.
"It just shows that, in this state, I guess everywhere, we're so bipartisan now, that we will accept failure, which we plainly have here in California, over voting for the party of Trump," Maher said. "Which, I understand, because he does a lot of things that are I mean, plus, Jesus, I mean, I get a lot of s--- from him for the things I criticize just off the top of my head, vulgar, corrupt, doesn't concede elections, you know, inept at things that sometimes were a good idea to begin with. Close the border, you know, get rid of nuclear weapons in Iran, but f---ed up the execution."
Bill Maher argued California will never vote for a Republican as long as President Donald Trump is involved in the party, even as failures mount.

Arnold Schwarzenegger seemingly spent his birthday with family, including his ex-wife Maria Shriver.
On Tuesday, September 8, the couple's eldest daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger, posted an Instagram carousel with photos from her summer adventures, including a snap of the former California governor and the journalist, 70, sitting next to each other at a restaurant.
In the photo, the former couple both smiled, with a piece of cake and a sparkler on the table as they appeared to celebrate the Terminator star's 79th birthday. Katherine, 36, along with her siblings Christina Schwarzenegger and Patrick Schwarzenegger, were also in the picture.

On September 8, 2026, GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) agreed to buy Consolidated Precision Products (CPP) for $11.75 billion. The acquisition marks the company's largest bet yet on precision engine castings, a constraint that has been capping GE's growth. Trading already at roughly 40x earnings, the company has now attacked one of its genuine bottlenecks through the deal. But has it paid too much to do it?
Castings, including the superalloy and ******* anium hot-section parts inside the jet engines, have constrained GE's engine production, including programs such as LEAP and GEnx, as well as its high-margin aftermarket. Without these castings, the company can neither build nor service its engines. If the acquisition closes, the company will gain access to CPP's 20-plus plants and about 6,600 workers, which are essential for making those components. The deal would therefore enable GE to control the constraint as well as defend its margins. CEO Larry Culp characterized the move as securing manufacturing capacity to meet simultaneous demand across commercial engines, aftermarket services, and defense contracts.
The valuation is where bulls should slow down. GE is paying roughly 18x 2027 EBITDA including synergies (26x without synergies). The sellers are private equity firms Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners. They have basically offloaded a cyclical business near the peak of the aerospace cycle. This is smart money selling to GE instead of the other way around. The real tell is that GE felt compelled to buy its way past this capacity bottleneck instead of scaling organically, which reveals how tight its prized aftermarket really was. Also, CPP also supplies other major aerospace and defense companies such as Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell, and Lockheed Martin, and through the vertical tie-up, the company invites antitrust scrutiny before it closes in late 2027.
GE's 40x multiple rests on its high-margin razor-and-blade business model that services a huge installed base. And the casting supply shortages quietly constrain this aftermarket. Hence, more than merely fixing a supply chain issue, the CPP acquisition defends the company's high margin and multiple. Financially, the transaction is accretive to adjusted EPS and free cash flow in the first year, funded through $7 billion in cash alongside newly issued debt. Insider Monkey data shows 113 hedge funds held GE in Q2 2026, down modestly from 119 in Q1, reflecting firm institutional positioning. Short interest is just 1.3% of float, below peers like Honeywell International (1.6%). Almost no one bets against it.

Spencer Pratt is seemingly making his feelings known about the Lindsay Clancy case following the mistrial in the Massachusetts mother's murder trial.
Pratt, 43, appeared to reference the case in a post on X on Thursday, September 10, days after a jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on whether Clancy, 36, should be held criminally responsible for killing her three children.
"Shout out to my mom for not strangling me to death with an exercise band when I was an infant," the Hills alum, who unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Los Angeles earlier this year, wrote. "You're the best, ma!"
Facebook/Lindsay Marie Clancy
Clancy was charged with murdering her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023. Her defense did not dispute that she killed the children but argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and should be found not guilty by reason of insanity. Prosecutors maintained that Clancy understood the wrongfulness of her actions.

Qiagen N.V. (NYSE:QGEN) announced on August 10 that the U.S. FDA cleared its QIAstat-Dx BCID GPF Plus AMR Panel, marking the company's first entry into the U.S. bloodstream infection testing market. Operating on the QIAstat-Dx platform, which boasts over 5,200 global placements, the automated panel detects 20 gram-positive bacterial and fungal targets, alongside 10 genetic antimicrobial resistance markers, in about one hour.
This regulatory milestone comes shortly after Qiagen N.V. (NYSE:QGEN) reported solid Q2 2026 financial results on August 5. Net sales reached $535 million (flat YoY at constant exchange rates), beating guidance for a 2% decline. Adjusted diluted EPS rose 3% YoY to $0.62, topping expectations. Performance across core growth pillars (+5% CER), including Sample Technologies (+9% CER) and QIAcuity digital PCR, helped offset a 7% drop in QIAstat-Dx respiratory testing sales. QGEN reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook for 1%–2% CER net sales growth and adjusted EPS of at least $2.43.
Additionally, Qiagen announced that Jonathan Pratt will take over as CEO effective September 1, succeeding Thierry Bernard. Joining at a pivotal time, Pratt will lead executive execution following an intensive portfolio evaluation and ongoing corporate efficiency programs.
This brings up a key question: Does the FDA clearance and steady execution under incoming leadership position Qiagen N.V. (NYSE:QGEN) for a valuation rerating, or will soft regional demand and product mix headwinds keep shares range-bound?
Bulls argue that Qiagen's high-margin, consumable-driven business model (comprising 90% of total Q2 sales) provides defensive recurring cash flow, generating $301 million in H1 operating cash flow. The new FDA approval expands QIAstat-Dx into its fourth major infectious disease area in the U.S., unlocking higher-margin hospital diagnostic channels. Furthermore, solid growth across core pillars like Sample Technologies and QIAcuity demonstrates fundamental demand. Strong internal cash generation also gives incoming CEO Jonathan Pratt ample balance sheet capacity to pursue disciplined capital deployment and portfolio innovation.

Ahead of the 2026 US Open, five Last Word on Tennis writers – Ilemona Onekutu, Shane Black, Amanda Bergman, Zain Mustafa, Coby Spratte – made their US Open predictions. Let's dive in.
I know picking a guy whose best US Open is R2 sounds risky, but Fils just won his first Masters 1000 in Cincinnati, crushing Tiafoe 6-3 1-6 6-0. His serve is a weapon (94.3% holds), paired with athleticism and a heavy forehand. He's 10-0 in deciding sets this year and 8-0 against Americans.
At 22, he's the youngest French Masters 1000 champion ever—and peaking as the draw opens up. After missing eight months with a stress fracture, he's reached the Doha final, Miami and Madrid semis, and won Barcelona and Cincinnati. In a tournament where Sinner is out, Alcaraz is rusty, and Djokovic is 39, I'm not saying it's likely—but I'm saying it's possible, and that's more than you can say for almost anyone else.
All eyes are pointed on Carlos Alcaraz, and rightfully so. I don't believe his team would have him play this event if he wasn't 100 percent healthy (wrist injuries are no joke; look at Dominic Thiem). That said, just because he is healthy does not mean he will have the consistency to win 21 sets.
In steps Alexander Zverev. The 29-year-old German got the Grand Slam monkey off his back at the French Open. He followed that up with a Wimbledon runner-up. Even before his ***** le in Paris, Zverev was a final eight mainstay at majors. With the pressure removed from looking for that elusive maiden slam, paired with his hunt for year-end No. 1, he is going to be very tough to beat in New York.

Anna Faris has opened up about her decision to take a "step back" from drinking alcohol.
During an appearance on the Dear Chelsea podcast on Thursday, the Scary Movie actress revealed that she has noticed a shift in her mental health since she quit.
"Turns out there's a correlation between drinking and depression for me for sure," she told host Chelsea Handler. "I had to take a step back to not self-sabotage."
Anna didn't disclose when she started her sobriety journey.
But she emphasised that her change in perspective has been "one of the many gifts" of the experience.
Elsewhere in the conversation, Anna discussed co-parenting son Jack, 13, with ex-husband Chris Pratt. The Mom star shared that the teenager is "religious", despite her being raised in an irreligious environment.

The Mets recorded just three hits in an 8-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night.
-- Sean Manaea didn't have it against the Brewers' bats, allowing four runs through the first two innings and six overall on the night over 5.2 IP. It's his first start less than six innings since July 18 and the first time he's allowed six earned runs since April 29.
Jackson Chourio had his number all night long, singling on the first pitch of the game and scoring in a two-run first inning. Then in the second inning, a poor throw to first base with two outs extended the inning for Chourio to go deep and make it 4-0.
Manaea settled down for scoreless third and fourth innings, but Chourio singled to lead off the fifth and eventually came around to score on a groundout. He let up another lead off hit in the sixth as Joey Ortiz tripled off the wall in center, and then Cooper Pratt drove him in on a sacrifice fly to push the lead to 6-2. The lefty's night ended after allowing a double, having thrown 95 pitches.
-- Meanwhile, Jacob Misiorowski retired the first seven Mets he faced (three strikeouts) before walking Christopher Morel with one away in the third inning. The muddy mound began to cause the young star to slip a bit, as manager Pat Murphy came out to tell the umpires it's becoming an issue. The righty slipped again on a fastball to Francisco Alvarez, but got the inning-ending double play.

-- Sean Manaea didn't have it against the Brewers' bats, allowing four runs through the first two innings and six overall on the night over 5.2 IP. It's his first start less than six innings since July 18 and the first time he's allowed six earned runs since April 29.
Jackson Chourio had his number all night long, singling on the first pitch of the game and scoring in a two-run first inning. Then in the second inning, a poor throw to first base with two outs extended the inning for Chourio to go deep and make it 4-0.
Manaea settled down for scoreless third and fourth innings, but Chourio singled to lead off the fifth and eventually came around to score on a groundout. He let up another lead off hit in the sixth as Joey Ortiz tripled off the wall in center, and then Cooper Pratt drove him in on a sacrifice fly to push the lead to 6-2.

Following a disappointing loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday night, the Brewers will look to bounce back on Wednesday evening, with right-hander Dustin May on the mound opposite Robert Stock for New York.
May has made three starts since joining the Brewers, with last Wednesday's outing against the Mariners representing his first real stumble. After allowing just three earned runs with 11 strikeouts over 13 innings in his first two starts, May was tagged for seven runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out one over just two innings in Milwaukee's 7-5 loss. For the season, he's 6-8 with a 4.57 ERA, 3.36 FIP, and 118 strikeouts across 124 innings.
Stock, 36, is a former second-round pick who spent time in the Brewers organization in 2023. He debuted with the Padres in 2018 and later had brief stints with the Red Sox, Cubs, and Mets through 2021 before pitching overseas. Stock returned to the majors with two appearances for Boston last season before rejoining the Mets this year. He has made four starts in 2026, posting a 5.40 ERA and 4.10 FIP with 19 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings. Those numbers are skewed by one particularly rough outing, when he surrendered eight of his 10 earned runs in a 9-0 loss to the Pirates in early August. The Mets have won in both of his last two starts, as he's totaled 8 2/3 innings with two runs allowed (one earned) and 11 strikeouts against the Nationals and Padres.
Sal Frelick makes his return to the lineup after being activated from his IL stint yesterday, as he'll start in left field and bat leadoff. Garrett Mitchell follows, with Brice Turang, Christian Yelich, and William Contreras in the 3-4-5 spots. Luis Lara moves up to bat sixth, with Andrew Vaughn, David Hamilton, and Cooper Pratt rounding things out, meaning Joey Ortiz and Jackson Chourio will start this one on the bench.
First pitch is at 6:10 p.m. on Brewers TV and the Brewers Radio Network.

Los Angeles' Democratic mayoral candidates were torched by residents after a debate night in America's second-most populous city that one voter described as "disgraceful."
Besides being home to Hollywood, Los Angeles is one of America's most economically important cities. The city, however, has struggled with recent fires, rising living costs, homelessness and outmigration. Those problems have fueled a particularly contentious mayoral race this year, which included a surprisingly competitive but ultimately unsuccessful bid by Republican Spencer Pratt.
With Pratt out of the race, Democrats Karen Bass, the incumbent, and Nithya Raman, a democratic socialist city council member, are locked in a competitive and bitter runoff for Los Angeles mayor. During last week's debate, Bass and Raman traded personal attacks and insults, leaving some voters frustrated over what solutions the candidates could offer.
After the debate, voter Stacey Segarra Bohlinger told Fox News Digital she believes Bass and Raman are "both bad" and said, "I wish they could both lose."

NEW YORK (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers rookie Cooper Pratt certainly got the message sent by manager Pat Murphy on Tuesday night.
Loud and clear.
Murphy, the two-time defending National League Manager of the Year, benched Pratt after he failed to get a bunt down and didn't run hard out of the batter's box on a bloop single during a 3-2 loss to the New York Mets in 10 innings.
"I've got to be better," Pratt said. "It's not winning baseball. I didn't help the team win and it won't happen again, that's for sure."
Batting ninth, Pratt was asked to bunt after Garrett Mitchell and Joey Ortiz opened the third with singles against Mets starter Zac Thornton. Pratt fouled off Thornton's first pitch and then pulled back his bat on the second one, a fastball right down the middle.

Spencer Pratt took aim at Jimmy Kimmel after his wife, Molly McNearney, went viral for sharing the origins of their "bad idea" office romance.
Kimmel and McNearney appeared on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast on Monday, where they revealed how they went from co-workers to husband and wife. Page Six picked up the quotes later in the day, penning an article ***** led, "Jimmy Kimmel's wife recalls moment she knew host 'wanted to f–k' ahead of 'bad idea' romance: 'He was my boss.'"
Pratt caught wind of the story and shared it with his over 1 million followers on X, adding alongside the repost, "Isn't this what Harvey Weinstein did?"
This is not the first time Pratt has called out Kimmel on social media, as the reality star hit back at the late night host in June after the latter poked fun at his mayoral campaign on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
A representative for Kimmel did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment.

Ari Emanuel's Roll the Calls is set to hit bookshelves on September 22 — but it's already proven to be a must-read for go-getters and aspiring entrepreneurs.
On Saturday, August 22, the super-agent, 65, took to X to announce his memoir is available for preorder and shared a first look at the official cover.
"Well. Got my study material for back to school. Honestly can't think of a better guy in entertainment to aspire to be than Ari Emanuel," Spencer Pratt wrote on X. "Dude is the GOAT. He is Entourage in real life."
"Truth is better than fiction," Elon Musk shared on X.
Before becoming the CEO of WME Group and executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings — which owns the UFC and WWE — Emanuel, 65, founded Endeavor Talent Agency and represented the likes of Ben Affleck, Larry David and Mark Wahlberg. Wahlberg, 55, famously used his longtime super-agent as the inspiration for Jeremy Piven's Ari Gold in Entourage.

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to face the Mets in New York this week, as the Crew looks to continue their winning ways. The Brewers, at 81-50 this season, sit firmly atop the NL Central after winning each of their last three series against the Dodgers, Mariners, and Braves. The Mets, at 59-72, sit at the bottom of the NL East with the sixth-worst record in baseball. They've actually been a bit better the last couple of weeks, with a 6-3 record against the Nationals, Padres, and White Sox.
Milwaukee's lone position player on the IL is outfielder Sal Frelick, who is expected to return for this road trip. However, the team suffered a pair of injuries in Sunday's Little League Classic, as outfielder Garrett Mitchell exited after being hit by a pitch with what was categorized as a right forearm contusion, and first baseman Jake Bauers, who has been playing with a toe fracture this season, fouled a ball off his leg/foot, though he remained in the game. It's unclear if either player will miss more time, but overall, not the worst news on that front. On the mound, the Brewers are without Brandon Woodruff (potentially back before the end of the year after not needing surgery), JoJo Romero (late August), Abner Uribe (could be activated on Wednesday), Rob Zastryzny (TBD), Joel Kuhnel (late August), Brian Fitzpatrick (out for season), Quinn Priester (out for season), and Angel Zerpa (out for season).
The Mets are without first baseman Mark Vientos (on rehab ******* ignment), outfielder Juan Soto (September), and infielder Jorge Polanco (out for season). Old friend Devin Williams is on the injured list with a shoulder strain that will keep him out until at least September. Fellow pitchers Cionel Pérez (September), Justin Hagenman (TBD), Tylor Megill (out for season), and Reed Garrett (out for season) are also out.
Jake Bauers leads the Brewer offense with 23 homers, 19 doubles, and 75 RBIs this season, as he's slashing .273/.382/.503 in the best season of his career. Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, William Contreras, Joey Ortiz, and Andrew Vaughn are among the other key contributors in recent weeks, while veteran Christian Yelich continues to suffer from the bad-luck bug. Gary Sánchez, Garrett Mitchell, David Hamilton, Cooper Pratt, and Luis Lara are also in the regular mix, with Jonathan Ornelas serving as some infield depth. As a team, the Brewers are hitting .254/.337/.396 (.733 OPS ranks seventh), with 120 homers (last), 650 runs scored (fifth), and 129 steals (third).
With Soto out, Carson Benge, Bo Bichette, Marcus Semien, Francisco Lindor, and Francisco Alvarez lead New York's offense. Benge has 16 homers, 17 doubles, 53 RBIs, and 19 steals in what has been a solid season overall, while Bichette, Semien, and Lindor are all have down years by their standards. Jared Young, A.J. Ewing, Luis Robert Jr., and Brett Baty are also in the regular mix, with Christopher Morel, Luis Torrens, Eric Wagaman, and Cristian Pache rounding things out. As a team, the M

Anna Faris has opened up about the difficult conversations she has with her 14-year-old son, Jack — whom she shares with her ex, Chris Pratt — about religion.
Jurassic World star Pratt, 47, is among the few Hollywood A-listers who have spoken openly about their Christian faith. He and Faris, 49, married in 2009 and welcomed Jack in 2012 before divorcing in 2017.
"[Jack] is religious. I didn't grow up with religion. He's asked me to accept Jesus Christ [as my savior]," Faris said of her son on Chelsea Handler's Dear Chelsea podcast this week.
"And I told him I would do anything for him, including this, but it's going to take a whole lot of long conversations."
Faris described Jack as "solid as a tugboat emotionally" and "doesn't get easily jarred," which means she is able to "challenge him."

Yesterday, the Milwaukee Brewers became the first team to reach 80 wins with a 2-1 series-opening victory over the Braves and ace Chris Sale.
Things will get a little easier — although not quite easy — against Atlanta's starting pitcher for today's game, Martín Pérez. The 35-year-old Pérez doesn't throw hard (89.3 mph average fastball velocity this year), but he's hung around in the majors since 2012 thanks to his ability to limit barrels and induce ground ******* . He's having the second-best season of his career, with a 3.15 ERA and 133 ERA+, although — as you might expect from someone with that profile — his 4.14 FIP is quite a bit worse.
On the mound for Milwaukee will be rookie right-hander Logan Henderson, who has a 2.44 ERA through 17 career starts with the Brewers. Henderson has missed some time due to injury in each of the last couple of seasons, but when healthy, he's been a revelation. He's made 12 starts this year, pitching to a 2.70 ERA and an even-more-impressive 0.87 WHIP.
Before we get into today's lineup, I wanted to share some news for those of you who haven't seen it. When right-hander Brandon Woodruff left Milwaukee in late July, his plan was to undergo shoulder surgery, but his shoulder has reportedly shown remarkably unexpected healing, and his surgeon, Dr. Keith Meister, is no longer recommending surgery. Given the way Woodruff's season has gone, it's hard to fault anyone for not getting too optimistic just yet, but you never know. Even seeing him pitch out of the bullpen before the end of the year would be an unexpected — but pretty great — way for his season to end.
As for the lineup, no massive surprises today. Leading off will be Jackson Chourio, followed by Brice Turang and William Contreras, who went 4-for-4 with an RBI yesterday in a game the Brewers won by one run. Behind Contreras are Jake Bauers, the team leader in home runs with 22, and Andrew Vaughn, starting at first base with Bauers in right field. Rounding out the lineup are designated hitter Christian Yelich, third baseman Joey Ortiz, center fielder Luis Lara, and shortstop Cooper Pratt.

Anna Faris has found herself having conversations with her teenage son that are far removed from the world she grew up in, and instead of avoiding the differences, she is choosing to talk them through.
During an August 20 appearance on Chelsea Handler's Dear Chelsea podcast, Faris opened up about 14-year-old Jack, her son with ex-husband Chris Pratt. Faris said she did not grow up religious, while Jack has become deeply interested in Christianity and has even asked his mother to accept Jesus Christ as her savior.
The discussion eventually moved beyond faith and into politics, with Faris describing conversations about issues such as abortion and conservative viewpoints. She said she does not simply tell Jack that he is wrong; instead, she asks questions designed to make him think about why he believes what he believes.
What makes the story stand out is that Faris is not describing a rebellious teenager or a family falling apart, she is describing a mother and son learning how to disagree without shutting each other out.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Faris revealed that Jack has actually tried to persuade her to become Christian.

Last year, there was a highly anticipated pitching matchup between Jacob Misiorowski and Paul Skenes. The matchup was hyped for days and it was a sellout game at American Family Field. This afternoon, we will have a similar matchup. Jacob Misiorowski is on the mound again, facing off against another Cy Young winner, this time in Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale.
There will be strikeouts, there will be high velocity, there will likely not be a lot of runs scored. Misiorowski has a 1.75 ERA on the season while Sale is sitting at a 2.16 ERA.
The Brewers were able to score plenty of runs during their series against the Seattle Mariners on this homestand. It will not be so easy this afternoon, even though the Mariners rotation has put up some very good numbers this year.
Granted, every time you see a matchup of aces and you think runs will be scarce, that game somehow has a way of turning into a 10-8 slugfest. Because that's baseball.
The Brewers offense will be attempting to provide that level of support to Misiorowski. Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, and William Contreras form the top of the lineup that will face Sale. Andrew Vaughn, Jake Bauers, and Gary Sanchez make up the middle of the order with Sanchez serving as the DH. Joey Ortiz, Cooper Pratt, and Luis Lara round out the bottom of the lineup.
