# Milwaukee Brewers 2026 season and Misiorowski > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/milwaukee-brewers-2026-season-performance > Updated: 2026-08-16T01:42:35.000Z. Sources: 82. Developments: 20. The Brewers have remained atop the NL Central, extending a mid‑season lead to five games while Jacob Misiorowski has continued to dominate. After a 31‑20 record at the 51‑game mark, Misiorowski became the first pitcher to reach 100 strikeouts and logged the league’s first 100‑K season. He shattered the single‑game 100‑mph pitch record with 57 such throws on May 25 and repeatedly set new velocity milestones, including a 105.5 mph fastball that tied the third‑fastest ever. By late July, Misiorowski emerged as the clear frontrunner for the National League Cy Young Award, with betting odds improving to -360. He led MLB with a 1.58 ERA, 185 strikeouts, and a 0.75 WHIP, holding an 11-4 record. His early‑season dominance, including over 190 strikeouts through 21 starts, made him only the second pitcher in major league history to achieve such numbers, joining Pedro Martínez’s 2000 campaign. Despite a recent matchup loss to rookie Walbert Ureña of the Angels, Misiorowski’s season has been defined by historic production. While he faced challenges during the second half of the season with an ERA exceeding 5.00, he has demonstrated resilience, notably posting a 1.50 ERA across 12 innings during the postseason. On August 15, Misiorowski earned a win in a 4-1 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. The Brewers followed this with a 6-2 win on Sunday to clinch the season series 4-3. This series victory, fueled by Logan Henderson’s seven-inning performance and Jake Bauers’ four hits, secured a tiebreaker advantage for postseason seeding and established a three-game lead over the Dodgers for the best record in the league. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted a lack of ‘clean baseball’ following the series, as Los Angeles has struggled with an 18-21 record since July. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-16: Milwaukee Brewers defeat Los Angeles Dodgers to win series The Milwaukee Brewers took three of four games from the Los Angeles Dodgers, securing a season-series tiebreaker and a three-game lead in the National League standings. 44 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jacob-misiorowski-returns-to-dodger-stadium-as-cy-young-frontrunner ### 2026-08-02: Jacob Misiorowski's Early-Season Dominance Highlighted as Rookie Walbert Ureña Beats Him Jacob Misiorowski of the Brewers posted a sub‑1.70 ERA with 190+ strikeouts in 21 starts, matching Pedro Martínez, while rookie Walbert Ureña of the Angels threw six shutout innings to beat him 3‑0, improving U 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jacob-misiorowskis-early-season-dominance-highlighted-as-rookie-walbert-urea-beats-him ### 2026-07-28: Jacob Misiorowski Leads MLB Cy Young Race with Historic Pitching Stretch Jacob Misiorowski dominates the NL Cy Young race, leading in ERA, strikeouts and WHIP, with odds improving to -360 after a historic pitching stretch. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jacob-misiorowski-leads-mlb-cy-young-race-with-historic-pitching-stretch ### 2026-07-21: Milwaukee Brewers curb Jacob Misiorowski's workload after concerning Mets start Brewers manager Pat Murphy will limit Jacob Misiorowski’s innings after a four‑inning, ‘concerning’ start vs the Mets, citing leg fatigue and reduced velocity. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/milwaukee-brewers-curb-jacob-misiorowskis-workload-after-concerning-mets-start ### 2026-07-16: Brewers Manage Jacob Misiorowski’s Workload Ahead of October Push Jacob Misiorowski leads MLB with a 1.62 ERA as the Brewers protect his workload with extra rest and rotation tweaks ahead of the October playoffs. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brewers-manage-jacob-misiorowskis-workload-ahead-of-october-push ### 2026-07-08: Jacob Misiorowski's strikeout surge fuels Brewers' 2026 season Jacob Misiorowski leads MLB in strikeouts, posting 167 before the All‑Star break and a 15‑strikeout shutout, revitalizing the Milwaukee Brewers' 2026 season. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jacob-misiorowskis-strikeout-surge-fuels-brewers-2026-season ### 2026-06-27: Jacob Misiorowski's 105.5 mph Pitch Ties Third‑Fastest in MLB History Jacob Misiorowski threw a 105.5 mph fastball, tying the third‑fastest pitch ever, as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 6‑2, improving his recent record to 8‑1. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jacob-misiorowskis-1055-mph-pitch-ties-thirdfastest-in-mlb-history ### 2026-06-25: Chicago Cubs Fall to Brewers as Jacob Misiorowski Throws 105‑mph Fastball The Brewers beat the Cubs 6‑2, highlighted by Jacob Misiorowski’s 105.5 mph fastball;
