Jacob Misiorowski delivered a one‑hit shutout for the Milwaukee Brewers on June 12 at Miller Park before a roaring crowd, striking out 15 batters in just 95 pitches. The 6‑0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies featured a perfect 27‑batters‑faced line and a game score of 100, placing him among an elite handful of pitchers to reach that mark.

A game score of 100 is only the 17th such effort in modern baseball, trailing only Kerry Wood’s 105‑strikeout masterpiece. Misiorowski joins Sandy Koufax, Matt Cain and Randy Johnson as the fourth pitcher to throw a Maddux while facing the minimum 27 batters. His 104.5‑mph fastball set a new velocity record for a starter since pitch‑clock enforcement began.

The performance caps a dominant stretch for Misiorowski, who posted a 0.17 ERA over his last eight starts and allowed just one earned run in 54⅓ innings. With 80 strikeouts to nine walks, he matches the efficiency of recent greats while delivering unprecedented power. Brewers fans now view him as the staff’s ace, and his 15‑K Maddux cements his place among the most lethal starters.
