Brewers' Misiorowski strikes out 15 in complete-game 1-hitter - ESPN

MILWAUKEE — Brewers fireballer Jacob Misiorowski turned in his finest outing one year to the day of his major league debut.

Misiorowski dominated the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night, striking out 15 and tossing a complete-game one-hitter in a 6-0 victory.

As Misiorowski strode to the mound for the ninth inning, the capacity crowd of 40,205 rose in unison to cheer for the 24-year-old right-hander in what turned out to be one of the most impressive performances in franchise history.

«When I walked out for the ninth, my whole body shivered and the adrenaline really kicked in,» said Misiorowski, who had never pitched past the seventh inning in 27 MLB starts.

With the crowd still standing and cheering, Misiorowski struck out Justin Crawford to end the game. He raised his hands and turned to embrace catcher William Contreras.

«There was no chance I was going to throw anything other than a heater right there. I was amped up,» Misiorowski said.

Misiorowski (8-2) didn't issue a walk in facing the minimum number of batters, throwing 95 pitches, 74 for strikes. He became the first pitcher since 2000 to throw a complete game with 15 strikeouts while throwing fewer than 100 pitches, according to ESPN Research.

It marked the first complete game by a Brewers pitcher since Brandon Woodruff on Sept. 11, 2023, against Miami.

«That was as good as it gets,» Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. «To pitch a game like that against an offense like that with all those All-Stars over there, it was an incredible performance.»

Misiorowski has a 0.17 ERA in his past eight starts, and the 15 strikeouts are the most by any pitcher this season. The performance marked his eighth straight game with eight or more strikeouts and one or fewer runs
