Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski dominates Dodgers with career-high 12 strikeouts

Yahoo10-07-2025
The post Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski dominates Dodgers with career-high 12 strikeouts appeared first on ClutchPoints.
The Milwaukee Brewers took the first game of their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. That pushed LA's losing streak to four straight with a tough matchup looming on Tuesday. The Brewers put young star Jacob Misiorowski on the mound Tuesday and took advantage of the struggling Dodgers. The 23-year-old struck out 12 batters, a career high.
Misiorowski threw six innings, allowing just four hits and one run, and left with the Brewers up 2-1. The one run was a lead-off homer by Shohei Ohtani, who then struck out in his next at-bat. This continues a dazzling start to Misiorowski's career, bringing his ERA down to 2.81. Milwaukee's bullpen finished off the game, securing a 3-1 win, pushing LA's drought to five straight.

The Brewers called up Misiorowski for a June 12 start against the St Louis Cardinals, and he has been great since. He threw five no-hit innings in that game before leaving with an injury. But he did not miss any time, carrying a perfect game into the seventh inning of his next start.
Misiorowski has had one poor start in his Brewers career, allowing five runs in 3.2 innings against the Mets on July 2. Outside of that, he has thrown 22 innings and allowed just three runs. This kind of elite talent is exactly what the Brewers needed in their rotation after trading Corbin Burnes before 2023.
The Brewers are 52-40 and hold the second spot in the NL Wild Card. Despite a slow start to the season, they have closed the gap in the NL Central to just three games. Even though the Cubs have an elite outfield and made a big trade for Kyle Tucker, Misiorowski and the Brewers are nipping at their heels.
The Brewers finish their series with the Dodgers on Wednesday afternoon and finish the first half against the Nationals this weekend.

Knicks reserve guard could see increased role next season

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride could be the biggest beneficiary of Mike Brown being hired as the team's new head coach. Per SNY's Ian Begley, McBride could see an increased role compared to his role under Tom Thibodeau. 'We don't know how Knicks coach Mike Brown will deploy his rotation. But it's logical to think that McBride will play significant minutes with Clarkson and Yabusele,' Begley said. In the past, it would appear at times as though McBride wasn't being utilized properly in the rotation. Now with Brown, it's possible that McBride could see an increased role in the offense. McBride has the ability to play in several different types of lineups for the Knicks thanks to his ability to space the floor and defend at a high level. McBride himself spoke with Begley about sharing the second unit with new acquisitions Jordan Clarkson, and Guerschon Yabusele. 'Obviously (Clarkson's) a vet in this league. He's done great things,' McBride said, per Begley. 'Obviously, he can fill up the stat sheet and really score the ball at a high level. And obviously adding Geurschon as well. I think everybody's seen what he did in the Olympics and carrying that momentum into (last season), so we're really excited about him.' 'I feel like we're going to play fast, we're going to be using a lot of different guys,' he added. 'If you saw the Finals, they (Oklahoma City and Indiana) had a lot of depth on both teams, and I feel like we're all NBA guys. So if you're on the team, I feel like you're able to help out.' McBride averaged a career-best 9.5 points per game last season off the bench, and shot 37 percent from three-point range. Next year could be a breakout season for him should he get an increased role.

INDYCAR Driver 'Happy to Not Get Hit' While Stuck in Blind Spot

In the closing laps of the Java House Grand Prix at Laguna Seca, INDYCAR driver Marcus Ericsson high-centered on the exit of turn six, lost control, and slid into the gravel and back onto the racing surface before stalling. He then sat there for several laps trying to get the race restarted while the course was under a local yellow in his sector. INDYCAR on Fox broadcaster James Hinchcliffe noted on the replay of Ericsson's crash that he was lucky to stop and not go further into the racing line to get collected by the full-speed traffic at the time of the incident. "So lucky to not continue going driver's left and be collected by another car," Hinchcliffe said. "That could've been much, much worse." The problem was that Ericsson was marooned, unable to start, sidelined on the asphalt as drivers continued, not seeing the No. 28 Andretti Global until they were within a few yards of it. The INDYCAR on Fox broadcast showed a portion of the course from Pato O'Ward's helmet cam, highlighting just how close the drivers were before Ericsson came into view. The full-course yellow was thrown after several laps, and the Andretti of Ericsson was brought back to the pits for a DNF with heavy damage to the floor of the race car. When Ericsson was first released from the race care center and asked if he thought the yellow was thrown late, he said he didn't know since he was too focused on getting his car going. "I don't know," Ericsson answered Fox Sports' Bob Pockrass, "I was just trying to get the car started again, that was my main focus." Following the race, Ericsson posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he was happy to be safe following being stuck in a blind spot for multiple laps. "Happy to not get hit whilst sitting at a blind spot on the track for 3 laps..." Ericsson wrote. "Onto Portland."
