What can be said about Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski that hasn't been said already? He's always going out and making a statement when he's on the mound. He'll usually clock a pitch or three above 100 mph. And, well, this season has been one where he's kept on stacking win after win.
On Friday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Misiorowski worked six strong innings as the Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs 6-2.
In his six innings of activity, Misiorowski gave up two hits, one earned run, walked four, struck out eight, and allowed a home run. Misiorowski goes to 9-3 this season.
The Brewers posted their 50th win this season before the All-Star break.
As for the Cubs, starter Colin Rea worked the first five innings for Cubs manager Craig Counsell.
Rea allowed five hits, one earned run, walked three, and struck out four. The damage that the Brewers inflicted came off of Cubs reliever Ethan Roberts, who suffered his first blown save and second loss.
In one inning of work, Roberts allowed two hits, two earned runs, walked two, and gave up one home run.
Jayden Murray followed Roberts to the mound and he wasn't able to keep the Brewers' offense in check. In his two innings of work, Roberts allowed four hits, three earned runs, walked one, struck out four, and gave up a home run.
Once again, though, Misiorowski was the man in the spotlight for Milwaukee and its fans on Friday night. His 105.5 mph pitch is the third-fastest in MLB all-time and the fastest pitch in MLB so far this season. Don't let anyone tell you that Misiorowski is not a special pitcher, because he is for sure.
The game remained scoreless through the first four innings before the Cubs broke through with a run in the top of the fifth. Seiya Suzuki's 11th home run, a solo shot, provided Chicago with that one-run advantage.
Milwaukee, though, put up three runs in the sixth inning, two in the seventh, and one in the eighth. That secured the deal for the Brewers.
Among the offensive highlights, Garrett Mitchell hit his sixth homer this season, David Hamilton added a run-scoring triple, William Contreras smashed a two-run home run, and Christian Yelich popped a run-scoring double.
With the victory, Milwaukee goes to 50-29 and remains in first place in the National League Central Division. Chicago falls to 44-38 and sits in third place in the NL Central.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy had to have been pleased not only with Misiorowski's outing, but the fact that his players put together enough offense to down their rivals.
Milwaukee and Chicago will wrap up this series with afternoon games on Saturday and Sunday at American Family Field in Milwaukee.
