Jacob Misiorowski throws record 47 pitches of 101 mph or higher in loss - ESPN

ATLANTA — Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy wanted to remind everyone after his team's 3-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Friday night that Jacob Misiorowski is indeed human.

«He was great,» Murphy said of the 24-year-old ace. «He was dominant, fantastic. You know, you're going to give up runs. You're a human. Go back and look at some of the greats. They all gave up runs. We're kind of shocked when he gives up a run.»

Misiorowski (8-3) went six innings and gave up two runs on five hits while striking out seven, but was pulled with the Brewers trailing 2-1. He hit 104.2 mph with his fastball and threw 54 pitches of at least 100 mph, according to Statcast, including a record 47 of 101 mph or higher since tracking started in 2008. The previous high for 101 mph or more was 45 by Misiorowski on June 6 at Colorado.

It was the first time since April 25 that Misiorowski gave up more than one run in a game. He entered on a historic roll, giving up just one earned run over 54⅓ innings in a span of eight starts.

«I think [the Braves] made good swings and nothing has changed,» Misiorowski said. «I felt fine. They are definitely a really good team. You could see that with all their at-bats today. There wasn't a single at-bat they were off. They were all trying to fight me through the whole game.»

Misiorowski had gone 29 innings without allowing an earned run since May 25 before Mauricio Dubón's two-run single in the sixth. His major league-leading ERA rose from 1.34 to 1.45.
