MILWAUKEE — No offense to Shane Drohan, but after what they faced here Friday night, the Phillies were sure offense would be easier to come by Saturday.

Call it the Jacob Misiorowski effect.

Because although Drohan has a fastball that’s worthy of respect, nobody throws more premium octane than his Brewers teammate. Compared to Misiorowski’s 104-mph rocket fuel, 96 mph looks like regular gasoline.

And sure enough, after getting held to one hit and 15 strikeouts by Misiorowski, the Phillies blasted off for a season-high 17 hits, then held off a late Brewers charge in a series-tying 9-8 cuticle-chomper.

The Phillies (38-32) can win the series over a National League heavyweight — and clinch a winning road trip — Sunday behind ace Cristopher Sánchez, who will get a chance at a rebuttal of Misiorowski in the still-early Cy Young Award debate.

Before all that, though, let’s get to the best part for the Phillies in their best offensive outburst of the season: The bottom of the order did the heaviest lifting.

Bryson Stott lined two RBI doubles, one of which broke a 3-3 tie in the sixth inning, and slumping J.T. Realmuto banged a three-run homer and collected four RBIs. Realmuto, Brandon Marsh and Edmundo Sosa had three hits apiece. The Nos. 5-9 spots in the order went 12 for 24 with eight RBIs.

How’s that for shaking off a Misiorowski hangover?

The Phillies staked Aaron Nola to a 3-0 lead. And after he fumbled it away on a pair of homers to straightaway center field — Garrett Mitchell crushed a two-run shot in the fourth inning; Jackson Chourio went deep in the fifth — the Phillies answered with five runs in the sixth inning.

Here’s how it went: Marsh single, Sosa single, Stott RBI double, Realmuto three-run homer, Derek Hill single, Kyle Schwarber single, Trea Turner strikeout, Bryce Harper sacrifice fly.

The Brewers chipped away with two runs in the seventh inning against José Alvarado and three in the eighth against Brad Keller. But Keller left the tying run on second base by striking out Brice Turang and getting William Contreras to foul out.

Jhoan Duran pitched a scoreless ninth inning to nail down the Phillies’ eighth win in 11 games.
