TruthLens AI Summary

Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski made history on Friday by throwing six perfect innings against the Minnesota Twins, marking the first time in 125 years that a starter has recorded 11 hitless frames to begin their MLB career. The 23-year-old right-hander, standing at 6-foot-7, showcased his exceptional pitching skills during only his second career start. Misiorowski maintained his no-hit streak until the seventh inning, where he faced his first challenge by allowing a walk to Byron Buxton, followed by a home run from Matt Wallner, which ended his impressive streak. Despite this momentary setback, he left the game to a standing ovation, with the Brewers leading 8-2 at the time. Ultimately, the Brewers secured a decisive 17-6 victory, highlighting the team’s offensive power later in the game.

In his debut start against the St. Louis Cardinals, Misiorowski had already thrown five no-hit innings before being sidelined due to cramping. Remarkably, he is now the only major-league pitcher in the modern era to have more wins (two) than hits allowed (one) after two starts, according to OptaSTATS. Misiorowski expressed his relief and excitement after the game, stating that he felt calmer and more prepared in his second outing. His performance included six strikeouts, with his fastball reaching an impressive 102.1 mph. The young pitcher effectively combined velocity with a variety of pitches, including a curveball and slider, demonstrating his versatility on the mound. Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy praised Misiorowski's command during the game, noting that he performed even better than in his debut. The Brewers' offensive surge in the later innings, aided by a career-best eight RBIs from Christian Yelich, further solidified Misiorowski's standout performance in this historic game.

Milwaukee Brewersrookie Jacob Misiorowski threw six perfect innings against theMinnesota Twinson Friday, becoming the first starter in 125 years to record 11 hitless frames to begin hisMLBcareer.

On just his second career start, the 23-year-old gave up nothing until the seventh inning when he conceded a walk to Byron Buxton before Matt Wallner hit a home run to right field. That ended Misiorowski’s streak of no-hit innings at 11, more than any other starter has managed to begin their career since baseball’s modern era began in 1900.

The 6-foot-7-inch right-hander then left the game to a standing ovation with the score at 8-2. The Brewers went on to win 17-6.

“I think this is exactly how I ever dreamed of it coming along,” said Misiorowski afterward.

Having thrown five no-hit innings in his first start against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 12 before leaving the game with cramping in his right leg, the Brewers No. 4 prospect is now also the only major-league pitcher in the modern era to have more wins (two) than hits allowed (one) after two starts, according to OptaSTATS.

“I think honestly I felt calmer and ready to go, compared to the first one,” Misiorowski said on Friday. “Nerves were going pretty heavy on the first one so it’s good to finally feel the feet under you.”

The 23-year-old struck out six on Friday, with his fastball reaching 102.1 mph (164.3 kph). In total, 12 of his pitches clocked in at 101 mph (163kph) or faster, meaning Hunter Greene and Jordan Hicks are the only starters since tracking began in 2008 to have thrown more at that speed in a single game, per MLB.

But Misiorowski did not rely on velocity alone, mixing in a curveball, a changeup and a nasty slider which left Willi Castro on the ground after he struck out in the first inning.

“I think he stepped up even better than he was the first day,” said Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy. “I think he was more in command.”

After a slow start which saw them pick up one run in the first five innings, the Brewers broke it open in the sixth thanks to the first of a career-best eight RBIs for Christian Yelich. Milwaukee scored five, four and five in the final three innings to ensure a blowout scoreline.
