- Jacob Misiorowski struck out a career-high 15 and threw a complete-game one-hitter as the Milwaukee Brewers blanked the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 on Friday night, facing the minimum on 95 pitches (74 strikes) with zero walks.
- Misiorowski became the first pitcher since 2000 to complete a game with 15 strikeouts on fewer than 100 pitches, and his eighth straight start with 8+ Ks and 1 or fewer runs is the longest such streak in MLB since at least 1893 (per ESPN Research).
- Christian Yelich drew a leadoff walk and scored on William Contreras' two-out double off Phillies opener Tanner Banks (0-4) in the first inning.
- Garrett Mitchell added a second-inning run after leading off with an infield single and later scoring on a wild pitch.
- Jake Bauers cracked a three-run homer — his 13th — off Andrew Painter in the fifth to make it 5-0, and Jackson Chourio added an RBI single in the sixth.
Why it matters: Misiorowski improved to 8-2 by becoming the first pitcher since 2000 to complete a game with 15 strikeouts on fewer than 100 pitches (per ESPN Research), while extending the longest such streak in MLB since 1893. For the Brewers, who entered Friday on a two-game skid in Las Vegas, a 95-pitch gem from their young ace is a statement bounce-back.
