Misiorowski retired all 27 batters on 95 pitches, allowing just one hit, a single, while striking out 15 and walking nobody. Offensively, Jake Bauers drove in three runs with his 13th home run of the season, a line drive to left-center field 391 feet, and Joey Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a double. William Contreras' RBI double in the first inning opened the scoring, and the Brewers tacked on five more over the next five innings to back Misiorowski with all the support he needed. Here are the five biggest strikeouts of the game for Miz: 5. Misiorowski Strikes Out Marsh on a Fastball (+2.40 Win Expectancy) Brandon Marsh led off the top of the second inning with Milwaukee ahead 1-0, bases empty, and nobody out. Misiorowski opened the at-bat with a 102 mph four-seam fastball for a swinging strike, then threw an 89 mph curveball that Marsh fouled off to fall to 0-2. The third pitch — another four-seam fastball at 103.1 mph — produced a swinging third strike. 4. Misiorowski Strikes Out Rincones Jr. on a Fastball (+2.40 Win Expectancy) Gabriel Rincones Jr. led off the third inning with Milwaukee leading 2-0, nobody on, and nobody out. Misiorowski got ahead with a 101.9 mph four-seam fastball that Rincones fouled off, then threw a 97.6 mph cutter for another foul to go to 0-2. The strikeout pitch was a 103.0 mph four-seam fastball that Rincones swung through. The at-bat moved Milwaukee's win probability from 71.2% to 73.6%, keeping the Phillies scoreless to open the third. 3. Misiorowski Strikes Out Marsh for His 10th Strikeout (+2.90 Win Expectancy) Brandon Marsh led off the top of the fifth with Milwaukee holding a 2-0 lead. It was Marsh's second plate appearance against Misiorowski, who had struck him out on three pitches in the second. This time Marsh extended the at-bat to four pitches: a 99.9 mph fastball swung through for strike one, a 91.2 mph changeup fouled off for strike two, a 100.5 mph fastball missed for ball one, then a 101.0 mph fastball for the strikeout. 2. Misiorowski Strikes Out Turner with a Runner On (+4.20 Win Expectancy) With Kyle Schwarber having singled to lead off the fourth inning, Misiorowski faced Trea Turner with nobody out and the runner at first. A hit here could have brought the Phillies within a run and changed the trajectory of the game. Misiorowski attacked immediately: a 97.3 mph cutter that was fouled off, then a 101.8 four-seamer to go 0-2, then a 100.4 mph fastball that Turner swung through for strike three. 1. Harper Grounds into Double Play on a Cutter (+6.00 Win Expectancy) With Schwarber still at first and one out, Misiorowski faced Bryce Harper in the only inning of the night that produced a scoring threat. Misiorowski opened with a 100.4 mph fastball called for a strike, then missed with a 95.6 mph cutter and a 100.3 mph fastball to run the count to 2-1. The fourth pitch was a 95.9 mph cutter that Harper hit at 103.0 mph off the bat back toward second base. Brice Turang fielded it, flipped to Joey Ortiz at second, and the throw to first completed the inning-ending double play. The Brewers and Phillies continue their three-game series at American Family Field on Saturday, June 13, with first pitch scheduled for 6:10 p.m. CT. Shane Drohan (3-1, 3.11 ERA) is expected to start for Milwaukee against Philadelphia's Aaron Nola (3-4, 5.86 ERA). View full article

I've been meaning to set up this poll for awhile. Which team do you dislike the most in the NL Central? Personally, I've never been able to get that worked up about the Cubs, though I cannot stand the Cardinals.

Jack and Spencer break down Luis Lara's extension, Brandon Woodruff's rehab start in the ACL, some concerning signs for Christian Yelich, and the Brewers' 4-2 week in Colorado and Las Vegas.

Huh, I didn't see this coming. And wow, the Brewers are really getting out in front of this CBA.

Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!

I take a light hand on topics. Something being published is not an endorsement from me. I could see the Brewers moving MLB pieces, but not these names.

For the past ten days, Brewers announcers have referenced "Las Vegas" and every time, I'm like "what the hell are they talking about". Oh, so the A's are playing in the Aviators' ballpark. That's cool, I guess.

Thanks for sharing, Scott!

I also prefer a floor for this reason. I’m also over teams that have a payroll similar to what they receive in revenue sharing, that’s utter nonsense that should stop.

The hardest of hard passes on Willson. Damn I hate that dude.
