Philadelphia Phillies Swamped by Pitching in Brewers and Marlins Games

On June 12 2026 the Milwaukee Brewers’ rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski delivered a historic performance against the Philadelphia Phillies at American Family Field. He struck out 15 batters, recorded the three fastest strikeout pitches by any starter since tracking began in 2008 (104.5 mph vs Kyle Schwarber, 104.1 mph vs Bryce Harper, 103.5 mph vs Trea Turner), and threw 58 pitches above 100 mph while allowing only one hit. Misiorowski’s mix of fastballs, sliders, cutters, curveballs and changeups overwhelmed the Phillies’ potent lineup.

An earlier analysis of an upcoming Phillies‑Marlins game highlighted how the Phillies’ hitters exploit opponents’ mistakes, turning walks and missed pitches into runs. The analysis warned Miami that giving the Phillies extra outs could quickly become extra runs, emphasizing the difficulty Miami’s pitchers face against a lineup that attacks deep counts and capitalizes on errors.
