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

Misiorowski perfect into 7th in 2nd career start, Yelich drives in 8 and Brewers beat Twins 17-6
MINNEAPOLIS -- Jacob Misiorowski took a perfect game into the seventh inning of his second career start, Christian Yelich drove in a career-high and franchise-record eight runs, and the Milwaukee Brewers scored 16 times in the final four innings to beat the Minnesota Twins 17-6 on Friday night. Misiorowski became the first pitcher to start his big league career with 11 consecutive hitless innings as a starter since 1900. He threw five no-hit innings against St. Louis on June 12, but left in the sixth with cramping in his right calf and quadriceps. 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. Misiorowski (2-0) walked Byron Buxton to start the seventh inning and Matt Wallner followed by lofting an 0-1 pitch into the flower bed above the right field wall. Waller's launch angle was 44 degrees. After the homer, Misiorowski was pulled for reliever Nick Mears and left to a standing ovation from a crowd that included thousands of Brewers fans. Misiorowski threw 86 pitches, 60 for strikes, and departed with Milwaukee leading 8-2. Yelich had bases-clearing doubles in the seventh and eighth innings and RBI singles in the sixth and ninth. He became the first player since RBIs became an official stat in 1920 to drive in at least eight runs without a homer, according to OptaSTATS. Milwaukee moved a season-high six games over .500, while the Twins have lost seven of eight. Joe Ryan (7-3) allowed three runs on 5 1/3 innings on 101 pitches. After seeing four straight pitches of at least 100.8 mph from Misiorowski, Willi Castro twisted like a corkscrew and dropped to the ground as he struck out on a 95.5 mph slider in the first inning. Misiorowski threw 29 pitches of 100 mph or higher, topping out at 102.1 mph and throwing 12 of 101 mph or more. José Quintana (4-2, 3.55 ERA) starts for Milwaukee on Saturday against Minnesota's Simeon Woods Richardson (2-3, 5.13).
