Jacob Misiorowski leads Brewers past Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers with another pitching gem
Misiorowski notched his 12th win of the season and improved his league-leading ERA.
On Saturday night, the Milwaukee Brewers faced off against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the third game of their four-game series. Following a split in the first two contests, Matt Misiorowski took the mound for Milwaukee, while Justin Wrobleski started for the Dodgers. Misiorowski, although not as dominant as usual, delivered an impressive performance throughout the game.
He pitched six innings, conceding just one earned run and striking out six batters. The highlight of his outing was a strikeout of Shohei Ohtani in the bottom of the fifth inning, coming off three pitches, which came after Ohtani had extended Milwaukee's lead with an RBI triple in the third inning. Misiorowski secured the win, raising his season total to 12 victories and lowering his ERA to 1.75, the lowest in Major League Baseball.
As a result, Milwaukee's record improved to 76-48, putting them at the top of both the NL Central and the National League. The Dodgers, on the other hand, now have a record of 74-50, but they still maintain a solid grip on the NL West with an eight-game lead over the San Diego Padres.
