Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski breaks 125-year-old record with six perfect innings against Minnesota Twins
Before Jacob Misiorowski, no starter in the modern era had ever given up no hits in each of their first 11 innings in the majors. - Jesse Johnson/Imagn Images/Reuters Connect Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski threw six perfect innings against the Minnesota Twins on Friday, becoming the first starter in 125 years to record 11 hitless frames to begin his MLB career. On just his second career start, the 23-year-old gave up nothing until the seventh inning when he conceded a walk to Byron Buxton before Matt Wallner hit a home run to right field. That ended Misiorowski's streak of no-hit innings at 11, more than any other starter has managed to begin their career since baseball's modern era began in 1900. Advertisement The 6-foot-7-inch right-hander then left the game to a standing ovation with the score at 8-2. The Brewers went on to win 17-6. 'I think this is exactly how I ever dreamed of it coming along,' said Misiorowski afterward. Having thrown five no-hit innings in his first start against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 12 before leaving the game with cramping in his right leg, the Brewers No. 4 prospect is now also the only major-league pitcher in the modern era to have more wins (two) than hits allowed (one) after two starts, according to OptaSTATS. 'I think honestly I felt calmer and ready to go, compared to the first one,' Misiorowski said on Friday. 'Nerves were going pretty heavy on the first one so it's good to finally feel the feet under you.' Jacob Misiorowski threw all eight of the fastest pitches at the 2022 MLB Draft Combine workout. -The 23-year-old struck out six on Friday, with his fastball reaching 102.1 mph (164.3 kph). In total, 12 of his pitches clocked in at 101 mph (163kph) or faster, meaning Hunter Greene and Jordan Hicks are the only starters since tracking began in 2008 to have thrown more at that speed in a single game, per MLB. Advertisement But Misiorowski did not rely on velocity alone, mixing in a curveball, a changeup and a nasty slider which left Willi Castro on the ground after he struck out in the first inning. 'I think he stepped up even better than he was the first day,' said Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy. 'I think he was more in command.' After a slow start which saw them pick up one run in the first five innings, the Brewers broke it open in the sixth thanks to the first of a career-best eight RBIs for Christian Yelich. Milwaukee scored five, four and five in the final three innings to ensure a blowout scoreline. For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at

Brewers' triple-digit throwing rookie makes MLB history after perfect game bid in second MLB start
The Milwaukee Brewers clearly made the right choice when they called up Jacob Misiorowski last week. The 23-year-old flamethrower made his MLB debut on June 12 and had a no-hitter through five innings before cramps took him out of the game. On Friday, in his second MLB outing, he took a perfect game all the way into the seventh. Misiorowski, who's been clocked at 103 mph, became the first starting pitcher in the modern era (since 1900) to start his career with 11 consecutive no-hit innings. After issuing a walk to Byron Buxton, Matt Wallner lofted a home run to the flower bed just past the right-field wall to end Misiorowski's run. After the homer by Wallner, Misiorowski was pulled for reliever Nick Mears and left to a standing ovation. He threw 86 pitches, 60 for strikes, and departed with Milwaukee leading 8-2. Milwaukee tacked on even more, taking home a 17-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins. "I think this is exactly how I ever dreamed of it coming along," the 23-year-old rookie said. "It's exciting." "I felt calmer and ready to go, compared to the first one," Misiorowski said. "Nerves were going pretty heavy on the first one, so it's good to finally feel the feet under you." The 6-foot-7 right-hander struck out six with a fastball topping out at 102.1 mph and a slider and changeup in the mid-90s. He hit triple digits 29 times, more than double in his first outing (14). He also hit 99.9 four other times. Misiorowski is the only big leaguer since 1900 to have more wins (two) than hits allowed (one) in his first two career starts, according to OptaSTATS. The Brewers found themselves making headlines when they called up Misiorowski, because it resulted in demoting MLB veteran Aaron Civale to the bullpen. Civale then requested a trade, and his wish was granted when he went to the lowly Chicago White Sox. Milwaukee is 41-35 and 4.5 games out of first place in the NL Central behind the Chicago Cubs.

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. Advertisement 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. Advertisement The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast.
