- Jacob Misiorowski set a Milwaukee Brewers franchise record by striking out the first seven Colorado Rockies batters on Sunday, surpassing Quinn Priester's previous mark of six consecutive strikeouts to start a game set in September 2024.
- Misiorowski was dominant throughout, striking out 12 of the first 13 batters and retiring the first 14 before Cole Carrigg hit a two-out homer in the fifth inning.
- The Brewers cruised to an 11-2 victory as Misiorowski finished with 12 strikeouts in five innings on 83 pitches, allowing one run on one hit.
- Misiorowski fell three shy of the combined Brewers and MLB record for consecutive strikeouts at any point in a single game (10), a mark shared by Corbin Burnes, Tom Seaver, and Aaron Nola.
- The Milwaukee right-hander capped his record-setting first inning by striking out Hunter Goodman on a 104.3 mph fastball, having also fanned Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak.
- The streak ended when Troy Johnston flew out to center fielder Luis Lara to lead off the third, but Misiorowski responded by striking out the next four batters he faced.
Why it matters: Misiorowski's seven straight strikeouts to open a game broke a franchise record that had stood for less than a year, and his 12 Ks in five innings gives the two-time All-Star a signature early-season performance. The Brewers, already rolling to an 11-2 win, get a potential ace building momentum heading deeper into the season.
