  "account": "MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers' ace Jacob Misiorowski faced a tough night during the NLCS opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. The 24-year-old remained strong, making it through just the fifth inning. The Dodgers managed to handle 21 of Misiorowski's 94 pitches, with Mookie Betts reaching base on a one-out walk in the fifth. Misiorowski allowed one run and five hits over 44 pitches, throwing at least 100 mph on 16 occasions. Despite striking out five and walking three in the postseason, Misiorowski's ERA stood at an impressive 1.80 across 30 starts this season. His dominant performance led the majors with 252 strikeouts across 174 2/3 innings. Milwaukee secured a 3-2 victory in Game 1 of their NL Division Series against San Diego on October 3.",
