Misiorowski perfect into 7th in 2nd career start, Yelich drives in 8 and Brewers beat Twins 17-6
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — 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.
Key moment
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.
Key stat
Misiorowski threw 29 pitches of 100 mph or higher, topping out at 102.1 mph and throwing 12 of 101 mph or more.
Up next
José Quintana (4-2, 3.55 ERA) starts for Milwaukee on Saturday against Minnesota's Simeon Woods Richardson (2-3, 5.13).

Players prepare to warm up
Benfica put six unanswered goals past Auckland City in a match that was heavily delayed by adverse weather conditions Getty Images Benfica have recorded a vital 6-0 win against Auckland City in their second game at the 2025 Club World Cup. An Angel Di Maria penalty opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time, before the players were forced off the field for an extended period due to adverse weather conditions. After they returned, Vangelis Pavlidis and Renato Sanches added to the advantage before Leandro Barreiro added a quick-fire brace. Late on, Di Maria won — and scored — another penalty to give Benfica a vital goal difference boost. They have moved to the top of Group C on four points before Bayern Munich and Boca Juniors meet at Hard Rock Stadium later, also covered live on The Athletic.

Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms The players are in the tunnel and they're heading back out onto the pitch to warm up. Still no resumption in Orlando, but we're moving closer to one. There's been no lightning strikes for nearly 30 minutes which is good news, under any circumstances. 'I've had three coffees since half-time,' the German commentator tells us, with a touch too much excitement. Good news from Florida — the storm in Orlando appears to have passed and we could see a return to play between Benfica and Auckland City. There is still some lightning in the area and despite fans returning to the stands for a period of time, they have now returned to take shelter.

Getty Images We're no closer to play restarting in Orlando as this weather delay continues. Given the length of time we've been waiting it's wouldn't be a surprise to see the players do a short warm-up to get ready to play the second half.

The adverse weather is still preventing the second half from starting, with rain tipping down in the south-east of the United States and the stands empty for safety reasons amid fears of thunderstorms. Again, we will bring you any updates when we have them. Otherwise, another Club World Cup match in Flamengo vs Chelsea kicks off in around half an hour, and that's also covered live on The Athletic . You can follow coverage of that match here. Fans have been asked to vacate their seats and take cover as we wait out this weather delay ahead of the start of the second half. Let's hope they can get the game back underway at some point soon. Getty Images The fans have taken refuge inside the bowels of the stadium. The pitch, and the stands, are empty. The big boards inside the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida have just announced that there will be a weather-related delay to the start of the second half. We'll bring you more information as we have it. A great image of that Vangelis Pavlidis chance. Goalkeeper Nathan Garrow clattered into his team-mate as they both aimed to block the Greek striker's shot, which trickled wide of the unguarded net. Bodies on the line! 📷 Well done to Alex Livesey for FIFA via Getty Images for this snap Getty Images 37 years old, countless major trophies won, a disputably meaningful tournament, against some part-timers in Auckland City... Never mind any of that. A goal is a goal, and Angel Di Maria is pumped about it, too. Getty Images And that's the break! What an end to the half — Benfica, after plenty of trying, go in to their half-time team talk a goal to the good. Heartbreak for Auckland at the end of the half but they are not down and out yet. Getty Images 45+6' Benfica 1-0 Auckland City They finally have their breakthrough! As cool as you like, Di Maria rolls the penalty low to the right and Garrow can only slide to the floor having dived the other way and watch it roll in. That was a reckless challenge to concede the penalty and it's a real sucker punch for Auckland. 45+4' Benfica 0-0 Auckland City It was going so well for Auckland! Lagos chops down Prestianni on his way into the box and there's little doubt that that's a spot kick. Angel Di Maria will take... Getty Images That crunching sound you can hear? That'll be the fans of every other team in Portugal, knocking back the popcorn as they watch this. Benfica are already going to get mocked for this first half. If Auckland can somehow hang on for 90 minutes, it's going to be a memepocalypse. Getty Images 45' Benfica 0-0 Auckland City We've got a stoppage as Zhou receives some treatment for a head injury as the fourth official puts up his board to show four minutes added on. We might see more than that given this stoppage but that's the official time for now. Zhou is livid that he's being asked to step off to be assessed for concussion. Getty Images 44' Benfica 0-0 Auckland City ... but it's been ruled out by the referee. Garrow had the ball in his hands but was fouled under pressure from Pavlidis and it popped out to Aursnes who tapped in. But it's been chalked off for that contact — it seems fouling Garrow is the only way Benfica have been able to find a way through. This has been a performance of great courage from Auckland City so far. Their goal has no doubt led a charmed life and goalkeeper Nathan Garrow has made some good saves, but it's been 41 minutes to be really proud of. Getty Images Seriously, how have Benfica not scored yet? Just as they look about to find the opener, forces seem to be conspiring against them to make the ball land the wrong side of the post. A goal is surely inevitable, after which the floodgates may open, but you can see the frustration grow on the faces of the Benfica players as they attempt to break the deadlock (and avoid potential embarrassment). Getty Images 40' Benfica 0-0 Auckland City What a game young Nathan Garrow is having! He palms away a shot from Pavlidis, cutting in from the right wing, and then Angel Di Maria follows up with a low, hard strike and Garrow meets it well down to his left. It's a bit of an onslaught as we reach the end of the half but Garrow is pulling off some great stops.

Rafael Devers explains why he is willing to play first base for the Giants but not the Red Sox
SAN FRANCISCO — Rafael Devers had a consistent mantra when he addressed the Boston media for the first time since his surprising trade from the Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants five days ago. 'The past is in the past,' Devers said repeatedly Friday when asked about his time with the Red Sox and why the relationship deteriorated so much this season that the team traded him less than two years into a 10-year, $313.5 million contract he signed in 2023.
