Key Points:
- Brewers' pitcher Jacob Misiorowski tied the third-fastest pitch recorded since 2008 with a 105.5 mph fastball during the opening at-bat against the Cubs, matching Ben Joyce's 2024 record and trailing only Aroldis Chapman's top speeds.
- Misiorowski carried a no-hit bid into the fifth inning, allowing only one run on a Seiya Suzuki home run, and finished six innings with two hits, one run, eight strikeouts, and four walks, earning the win.
- In a critical sixth-inning moment, Misiorowski struck out Ian Happ with a 102.8 mph fastball to strand the bases loaded, preserving a narrow deficit that Milwaukee soon overcame offensively.
- The Brewers rallied in the sixth and seventh innings with key hits, including Garrett Mitchell's two-run homer and William Contreras's two-run shot, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 5-1 lead en route to a 6-2 victory.
- Misiorowski lowered his Major League-leading ERA to 1.45, maintaining dominance since May 1 by allowing only four earned runs, solidifying his status as a top National League All-Star candidate.
