Misiorowski set the tone early, striking out Padres star and lead-off hitter Fernando Tatis Jr., which helped keep the raucous crowd at American Family Field in a frenzy.
However, in the second inning, something seemed to click for the Padres when DH Luis Campusano poked a single into right field with two on, which brought in a run to open the scoring.
The Padres added another on a fielder's choice to go up 2-0.
In the third, the Brewers got on the board thanks to a Jackson Chourio two-run shot, which happened to be the hardest-hit homer of his career.
The game remained tied through six innings, with Misiorowski exiting the game after four innings of work in which he gave up 6 hits, 2 runs, and a walk while striking out 6 hitters.
Uribe got the hook, with lefty DL Hall coming in to face left-handed-hitting Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill.
Fortunately for the Brewers, Merrill flew out to left field, getting them out of a big jam.
That was key, because after retiring two batters on two pitches to start the bottom of the seventh, Brewers catcher William Contreras took the 3-2 offering from Adrian Morejon and sent it into the seats in right-center field.
That solo home run was just Contreras' second hit all season against San Diego pitching.
The Brewers got out of another jam in the top of the eighth with the Padres leaving several runners on base, something that was a theme for both teams throughout the night.
The top of the 9th brought the strangest moment of the game when Ty France nearly hit the cover of the ball for what looked like a go-ahead, two-run home run.
However, the ball hit one of the trusses in the stadium's roof. The ball then bounced nearly straight down and was caught by Jackson Chourio.
The rule is that if the ball hits the roof in fair territory, it's still live. Chourio made a clutch play to track it down and keep the tying run from scoring.
The Padres challenged, but the call stood for the second out of the inning.
Jackson Merrill was the next batter and lined out to right field to end the game.
It was a good game from start to finish, but with so many strong performances on display, who would have thought the Brewers' biggest play would come from the roof at American Family Field?
