Smith’s first line following an All-Star rookie campaign included four runs, three earned, off three hits and two walks to go with two strikeouts over 1 ⅔ innings.</p><p>Milwaukee went on to get another pair of runs off free-agent arrival Sean Newcomb and then two more off lefty reliever Tyler Gilbert, who yielded a two-run bomb to Brewers right fielder Sal Frelick in the fifth inning.</p><div class=\"RelatedList Enhancement\" data-module data-align-center> <div class=\"RelatedList-title\">Related</div> <ul class=\"RelatedList-items\"> <li class=\"RelatedList-items-item\"> <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2026/03/26/white-sox-win-total-2026-mlb-opening-day-chris-getz-will-venable-brewers\" >Greenberg: Whether White Sox think they can or can’t take a real step forward in 2026, they’re right</a> </li> </ul> </div> <p>The wheels fell off from there, with Milwaukee tagging another offseason addition, Jordan Hicks, for two runs, while Sox bats mustered nothing against the flame-throwing Misiorowski.</p><p>Not that there weren’t flashes of hope for the Sox’ future on display.
