- Misiorowski dominated the Dodgers, notably throwing six consecutive fastballs over 103 mph to Ohtani in a first-inning at-bat, striking him out later in the game.
- Despite the Dodgers’ 4-1 loss, they managed to load the bases in the fifth inning and forced Misiorowski out after six innings, limiting his pitch count and effectiveness.
- Misiorowski improved his record to 12-5 with a 1.75 ERA, striking out six batters and demonstrating why he is considered a Cy Young Award frontrunner.
- The Dodgers’ ability to extend the game forced Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby to pitch two innings, potentially impacting Milwaukee’s bullpen availability for the series finale.
