Player of the gameJacob MisiorowskiMIL9.0ip 1h 0er 15k
MILWAUKEE – Here’s the craziest thing about the performance of the year in Major League Baseball, and maybe the greatest game for any player – certainly the greatest game for any pitcher – in the 58 seasons of Brewers franchise history. Jacob Misiorowski didn’t think he had the goods. What he did have was another night on the mound like no one has ever witnessed before. It was a perfect game but for Kyle Schwarber’s fourth-inning single. It was a 95-pitch shutout and a “Maddux” – if Greg Maddux could throw 104.5 mph and strike out 15 with ease like the 24-year-old 6-foot-7 right-hander did in Friday’s 6-0 Brewers win over the Phillies. “This is not a normal pitcher,” said Brewers catcher William Contreras. “I think he can go out there and throw 100 fastballs and get through a game.” Imagine what Misiorowski might be able to do on a night he’s really feeling it.
