  "account": "On his 22nd start of the season, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski struck out Minnesota's Alan Roden, reaching the milestone of 200 strikeouts for the season. Misiorowski, a 24-year-old right-hander, is now the second-fastest pitcher in MLB history to achieve this feat, with only Atlanta Braves' Spencer Strider having done it faster. Strider accomplished the milestone in just 123 1/3 innings in 2023, while Misiorowski did it in 129 1/3 innings this season. At 204 strikeouts, Misiorowski leads the league, outpacing Cleveland Guardians' Gavin Williams, who has 185 strikeouts in 24 starts. Fellow two-time NL All-Star and current favorite for the National League Cy Young Award, Misiorowski has posted a career-best 1.76 ERA in 133 innings. The young pitcher also threw his first career complete game, a one-hit shutout, against the Phillies in June.",
