Jacob Misiorowski hurled six innings for the Brewers against the Atlanta Braves, striking out seven while surrendering two runs and five hits. Though his fastball topped out at 104.2 mph, the pitcher was removed when Milwaukee trailed 2‑1. The Braves edged the game 3‑2, snapping Misiorowski’s streak of single‑run outings before the final inning and the bullpen struggled.

Misiorowski entered the game on a historic roll, having allowed just one earned run over 54⅓ innings in eight starts. His Statcast data show 54 pitches at least 100 mph, including a record 47 of 101 mph or higher since 2008—surpassing his own June 6 peak of 45. The pace kept the Brewers competitive until the sixth before the seventh.

The Brewers’ bullpen faltered after Mauricio Dubón’s two‑run single in the sixth, pushing Misiorowski’s ERA from 1.34 to 1.45. He had been averaging 100.1 mph on his fastball—the fastest for a starter in the tracker era—since his 104.5‑mph outing against the Phillies. The loss underscores the team's need for consistent late‑inning support to keep pace with the division standings.
