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 ~~against Los Angeles~~ 4-3. This series victory, ~~driven~~ 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.
