Milwaukee Brewers defeat Atlanta Braves 2-1 behind Misiorowski's pitching
The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves at American Family Field, marking the Brewers' 80th win of the 2026 season. The game featured a high-stakes pitching duel between Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski and Atlanta's Chris Sale.
Misiorowski delivered a dominant performance, pitching six shutout innings and striking out six. Despite noting he did not feel his best, he reached velocities up to 103.1 mph. His performance keeps him on pace to potentially break the 110-year-old MLB record for fewest hits allowed per nine innings in a single season.
The Brewers scored both runs in the third inning via hits from William Contreras and Andrew Vaughn. Chris Sale pitched six innings, allowing eight hits and two runs while striking out six. Trevor Megill earned the save for Milwaukee by striking out Ronald Acuña Jr. in the ninth inning to prevent a late Braves rally.
