Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski begins MLB career with 11 no-hit innings
Jacob Misiorowski's first MLB start with the Milwaukee Brewers was awesome and eventful. His second was even better. Misiorowski took a perfect game into the seventh inning Friday night, June 20, against the Minnesota Twins before he finally yielded a walk then a two-run home run to lead off the bottom of the seventh. Incredibly, the blast by Twins right fielder Matt Wallner was the first hit Misiorowski allowed in his MLB career after 11 innings of no-hit ball. Per MLB's Sarah Langs, citing the Elias Sports Bureau, Misiorowski's 11-inning run of no-hit ball is the longest by a rookie starter to begin a career since the expansion era began in 1961. Only Austin Cox, who began his career with 11⅔ innings of no-hit ball, went longer without yielding a hit than Misiorowski, though Cox's hitless run to start his career was spread over six appearances in 2023. Misiorowski's dominance began last week, when he went 5 hitless innings against the St. Louis Cardinals before he exited the game with a freak injury. Friday night, he cruised into the seventh without yielding a hit, striking out six. He was pulled following Wallner's home run after throwing 86 pitches. The Brewers led 8-2 when he exited and tacked on nine more runs in the final two innings. The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast.

Angels Make Unfortunate Jorge Soler Announcement Before Yankees Game
Angels Make Unfortunate Jorge Soler Announcement Before Yankees Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Angels beat the New York Yankees on Monday and Tuesday, but it was no thanks to outfielder Jorge Soler. The 33-year-old is just 1-for-9 in the series and is slashing .119/.196/.119 with three RBI over 13 games in June. Advertisement Los Angeles acquired the former All-Star from the Atlanta Braves on October 31 in exchange for right-handed pitcher Griffin Canning. The two-time World Series champion has had a successful career, as his next homer will be his 200th since entering the big leagues. However, he hasn't been close to the player he was in 2019, when he tallied 48 homers and 117 RBI for the Kansas City Royals. The Angels revealed an unfortunate Soler update before Wednesday night's bout with the Yankees, via The Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher.

Advertisement Los Angeles is starting Luis Rengifo in right field while Mike Trout will serve as the designated hitter. The Angels won Monday and Tuesday's games by a combined score of 5-0, and they're 6-4 in their last 10. They're now a half-game behind the Texas Rangers for third place in the AL West and two games out of a Wild Card spot. Los Angeles will play New York again on Thursday before hosting the Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, and Washington Nationals. After that, it will hit the road to face the Atlanta Braves and Toronto Blue Jays before hosting the Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks.
