Summary
Fifteen strikeouts and just 95 pitches carried Jacob Misiorowski to a one-hit shutout of Philadelphia, with Milwaukee winning 6-0 after the Phillies’ lone baserunner was erased in a double play.
The outing became the first recorded Maddux with 15 strikeouts since pitch-by-pitch tracking began in 1988, pairing complete-game efficiency with overpowering stuff.
104.5 mph was the night’s top fastball, the hardest pitch by a starting pitcher in the pitch-tracking era; Misiorowski hit 100 mph 58 times and threw the four fastest pitches ever recorded by a starter.
A 100 Game Score made it the best start in Brewers history and the first MLB outing to reach that mark since Justin Verlander’s 2019 no-hitter.
Over his last eight starts, Misiorowski has allowed 1 earned run in 54 1/3 innings with 80 strikeouts, extending a historic run for the NL Central-leading Brewers, now 42-25.
