MLB roundup: Cramp ends Brewers prospect's no-hit bid in debut
June 13 - In his major league debut, highly touted Brewers prospect Jacob Misiorowski tossed five hitless innings before exiting with a leg cramp to pace Milwaukee to a 6-0 victory over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday in the opener of a four-game series. The hard-throwing 23-year-old right-hander struck out five before appearing to stumble on his third pitch of the sixth inning to Victor Scott II. Nick Mears relieved and finished the walk to Scott, the fourth charged to Misiorowski in an 81-pitch outing. The Brewers announced later that Misiorowski left with right calf and quad cramping. Misiorowski (1-0) topped 100 mph on four of his six pitches to Lars Nootbaar to open the game, hitting 102.2 mph on his fifth pitch, and fanned Pedro Pages on a 101.1 mph four-seam fastball to end the fifth. Jackson Chourio hit a two-run homer to cap a five-run fifth against Sonny Gray (7-2) that put the Brewers up 6-0. Sal Frelick, who went 3-for-4 and scored twice, hit a two-run single before Chourio's homer. Gray, who was 4-0 in his previous six starts, allowed six runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one. The Cardinals did not get a hit until Willson Contreras' leadoff single off Aaron Ashby in the seventh. Ashby covered the final three innings for his first save. Mets 4, Nationals 3 Starting pitcher Kodai Senga sustained a hamstring strain in a victory over Washington to complete a three-game series sweep. Senga will spend time on the injured list and undergo an MRI on Friday. The starter allowed only two baserunners and zero runs in 5-2/3 innings before exiting, lowering his ERA to an MLB-best 1.47. Jeff McNeil's three-run home run in the first and Brandon Nimmo's solo shot in the fifth gave the Mets a 4-0 advantage. Washington's bats were silent until the ninth inning. Mets reliever Ryne Stanek gave up three consecutive singles and a run before Edwin Diaz replaced him. Diaz surrendered a walk and a single, and threw a wild pitch to allow two more runs before coaxing a pair of groundouts to pick up his 15th save of the season. Yankees 1, Royals 0 Pablo Reyes scored an unearned run from second base on a wild play in the eighth inning following a pitching duel in New York's victory over the host Royals. The Yankees' Will Warren and Royals' Seth Lugo each pitched 5 2/3 innings and the game was still scoreless in the eighth, when Paul Goldschmidt sent a liner off the glove of Vinnie Pasquantino, who tried to get the out at first but was late. Reyes, meanwhile, stopped between third and home, then again broke for the plate, where Freddy Fermin was unable to grab the low throw from Lucas Erceg, who was covering first. Erceg was charged with an error. New York managed just five hits against four Royals pitchers, yet it was enough for the victory to claim all six games this season versus Kansas City. The Royals sit in a 10-19 rut that has dropped them below .500 for the first time since April 27. Rangers 16, Twins 3 Texas hit six home runs, including a trio of three-run home runs, in a trouncing of Minnesota. The Rangers matched the season-high run total they set on Tuesday in the first game of their series against the Twins. Wyatt Langford, Adolis Garcia and Sam Haggerty hit the three-run shots, while Jake Burger, Josh Smith and Evan Carter added solo homers. Texas had 16 hits, including six hits and four home runs off Minnesota starter Bailey Ober. A five-run second inning allowed Texas to quickly pull away, and a six-run sixth inning to grow the Rangers' lead to 13-1 was further assurance. Minnesota had a solid eight hits, but went 3-13 with runners in scoring position and failed to dig themselves out of an early five-run hole. Rockies 8, Giants 7 Orlando Arcia hit a two-run, walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to lift Colorado over San Francisco and snap a five-game Rockies skid. The loss snapped the Giants' six-game winning streak in one-run games. San Francisco has had a penchant for tight games this year, with a major-league-leading 30 one-run games, including today's contest. The Giants quickly built a four-run lead in the second inning on the back of a sacrifice fly and a pair of RBI singles. Colorado notched two runs in the fourth to narrow the lead, but San Francisco swiftly responded with a three-run Dominic Smith homer in the fifth. After falling down 7-2, the Rockies scored six unanswered runs, highlighted by a three-run ninth inning and capped by Arcia's decisive base hit. Tigers 4, Orioles 1 Tarik Skubal pitched seven scoreless innings as Detroit won at Baltimore in the decisive game of a three-game set. Dillon Dingler and Parker Meadows drilled fourth-inning home runs, with Meadows' three-run shot the big blow. Skubal (7-2) struck out six and allowed three singles and two walks. Will Vest handled the ninth for his 12th save. Baltimore's Dylan Carlson (three hits) led off the eighth with a home run. Dean Kremer (5-7) permitted four runs on five hits in seven innings. Cubs 3, Pirates 2 Pete Crow-Armstrong belted a two-run homer and Jameson Taillon recorded his fifth win in as many starts as host Chicago earned a victory over Pittsburgh. Taillon (7-3), who began his career with Pittsburgh, allowed two runs on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. Seiya Suzuki added a solo shot for the Cubs, who won the opener of their 10-game homestand despite mustering just four hits. Adam Frazier sliced an RBI double in the seventh among the four hits for the Pirates, who lost for just the second time in seven games. Pittsburgh starter Andrew Heaney (3-5) yielded three runs on four hits with seven strikeouts and no walks in six innings. Astros 4, White Sox 3 Framber Valdez recorded a season-high 12 strikeouts while leading Houston to a victory over visiting Chicago. Isaac Paredes slugged his club-leading 15th homer and Jose Altuve added a two-run double as the Astros claimed the decisive game of the three-game series. Valdez (7-4) won his fifth consecutive start, firing five innings of two-run ball while permitting seven hits and a walk. Chicago's Miguel Vargas finished 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple, a walk and two runs. Edgar Quero had three hits, including a pair of RBI singles. Davis Martin (2-7) Martin allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings. --Field Level Media

Brewers prospect Jacob Misiorowski exits due to cramping amid no-hit bid in MLB debut
Jacob Misiorowski was having a dream MLB debut until one awkward step forced him to exit the ballgame. The Milwaukee Brewers' prospect took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before he exited with an apparent injury. His final line: 5 innings, 0 hits, 3 walks, 5 strikeouts and 81 pitches against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Brewers were leading 6-0 at the time of his exit. Advertisement The injury appeared to occur when Misiorowski caught a spike while walking on the mound after a pitch. It looked like he was in good spirits while the Brewers training staff checked on him, but the team was taking no chances with an arm considered to be a cornerstone of its future. The Brewers later announced he left the game due to right calf and quad cramping, not the ankle he appeared to twist. Cramped up, and that's when I just rolled it. All good, nothing crazy," Misiorowski said after the game. "Of course I don't want to leave like that. I feel like I could have kept going, but, you know, cramped up and stuff happens. Advertisement Brewers reliever Nick Mears entered the game for Misiorowski behind 3-0 in the count against leadoff batter Victor Scott II and walked him, but Mears finished a hitless sixth inning. Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras led off the seventh inning with a single to break up the no-hit bid. Among the 81 pitches the 6-foot-7 Misiorowski threw, 14 were above 100 mph, per Statcast. That's more than every Brewers starting pitcher combined has thrown since pitch tracking began in 2008, per Sarah Langs. Every slider and changeup he threw was also above 90 mph. He topped out at 102.2 mph on his fifth pitch of the game. The Brewers drafted Misiorowski out of Crowder (Mo.) Junior College in the second round of the 2022 MLB Draft, giving an above-slot $2.35 million to one of the draft's most high-risk, high-reward prospects. Advertisement So far, it has been mostly reward. Misiorowski ranks 68th overall on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 and as Milwaukee's fourth-best prospect, with an 80 fastball (elite), a 70 curveball (plus-plus) and a 60 slider (plus). But while Misiorowski has some of the best stuff of any pitcher in the minors, his control has held him back. This year, he walked 12.3% of Triple-A batters before his call-up but offset that with a 31.6% strikeout rate. While walks remain a concern, the Brewers aren't going to be too worried if he's dominating against batters like he did Wednesday.

Misiorowski dominates before departing MLB debut with leg cramps as Brewers blank Cardinals 6-0
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jacob Misiorowski pitched five no-hit innings before leaving his major league debut with cramping in his right calf and quadriceps as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 on Thursday night. Misiorowski (1-0) slipped on the front part of the mound after throwing his third pitch of the sixth. After medical staff went to check on him, he was removed in favor of Nick Mears. The 6-foot-7 right-hander finished his dominant debut with five strikeouts and four walks while reaching a maximum velocity of 102.2 mph with his fastball. The Cardinals didn't get their first hit until Willson Contreras grounded a single up the middle against Aaron Ashby leading off the seventh. They finished with three hits. Ashby worked the final three innings to earn his third career save and first since 2022. St. Louis right-hander Sonny Gray (7-2) entered having allowed three runs over his last four starts, but he couldn't make it out of the fifth inning in this one. Jackson Chourio's two-run homer capped Milwaukee's five-run fifth and knocked Gray out of the game. Sal Frelick had a two-run single. St. Louis' Victor Scott was hit in the head by an 80 mph pitch from Ashby in the eighth but remained in the game. Key moment When Gray picked off Isaac Collins after walking him to start the fifth, it appeared the Brewers were wasting a scoring opportunity. But each of the next five batters got hits and eventually scored to break open the game. Key stat Misiorowski threw 14 pitches at least 100 mph. Coming into the game, all Brewers starters had combined for eight pitches 100 mph or more under pitch tracking that began in 2008, according to Up next The four-game series continues Friday with a matchup of right-handers, as Erick Fedde (3-5, 3.54 ERA) pitches for St. Louis against Freddy Peralta (5-4, 2.69). ___ AP MLB:

Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski dazzles in debut, exits with cramping
MILWAUKEE — Jacob Misiorowski arrived exactly as advertised in his long-awaited major-league debut Thursday night. The Brewers' flamethrowing to prospect hurled five innings of no-hit ball against the St. Louis Cardinals, walking four and striking out five, but departed the game alongside a trainer in the bottom of the sixth. Advertisement Misiorowski appeared to have rolled his ankle, though his exit was ultimately attributed to right calf and quad cramping. The 23-year-old, who ranked 87th overall in The Athletic's Keith Law's top 100 preseason prospect rankings, rose through the minor-league system thanks to his powerful triple-digit velocity. He can routinely throw pitches over 1oo mph, and has been one of the hardest throwing pitchers in the minor-league circuit since he was drafted in the second round of the 2022 draft. That's what he brought to the show, with the first three pitches of his major-league career tapping out at over 100 mph. The fifth pitch of his career — a 102.2 mile per hour fastball to Lars Nootbaar — was the hardest-thrown pitch by a Brewers starter in the pitch-tracking era, which dates back to 2008. Of his 81 total pitches thrown, 14 were recorded at 100 mph or higher. MUST SEE: Jacob Misiorowski's first three pitches to start his Major League career: 100 MPH 🔥102 MPH 🔥101 MPH 🔥 — MLB (@MLB) June 12, 2025 Misiorowski, who was called up from Triple A Nashville on Tuesday, came out for the bottom of the sixth inning after a lengthy break in which the Brewers scored five runs off Cardinals' starter Sonny Gray. He fell behind 3-0 to Victor Scott II to lead off the inning, and seemingly rolled his right ankle retreating back to the mound. After a brief meeting with manager Pat Murphy, pitching coach Chris Hook and the medical staff, Misiorowski left the game. The crowd at American Family Field gave him a standing ovation as he departed the field. Misiorowski became the third major-league pitcher since 1900 to record at least five innings without allowing a hit in his MLB debut, joining Los Angeles Dodgers Emmet Sheehan (six innings, 2023) and New York Giants Red Ames (five innings, 1903).
