The Milwaukee Brewers clearly made the right choice when they called up Jacob Misiorowski last week.
The 23-year-old flamethrower made his MLB debut on June 12 and had a no-hitter through five innings before cramps took him out of the game.
On Friday, in his second MLB outing, he took a perfect game all the way into the seventh.

Misiorowski, who's been clocked at 103 mph, became the first starting pitcher in the modern era (since 1900) to start his career with 11 consecutive no-hit innings.
After issuing a walk to Byron Buxton, Matt Wallner lofted a home run to the flower bed just past the right-field wall to end Misiorowski’s run.
After the homer by Wallner, Misiorowski was pulled for reliever Nick Mears and left to a standing ovation. He threw 86 pitches, 60 for strikes, and departed with Milwaukee leading 8-2. Milwaukee tacked on even more, taking home a 17-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
"I think this is exactly how I ever dreamed of it coming along," the 23-year-old rookie said. "It’s exciting."
