The right‑hander worked seven innings, allowing one unearned run and striking out eight , as Milwaukee’s offense supplied five solo home runs.
103.7 mph Fastball Sets New MLB Starter Record

The milestone came as he settled into a 7-2 record and lowered his ERA to 1.50, cementing a dominant stretch that began in May when he went 5-0 with a 0.23 ERA.

Who Will Pitch the Series Finale?
Milwaukee will hand the ball to rookie left‑hander Shane Drohan (2-1, 2.87 ERA) for his first career start, while Colorado counters with veteran lefty Kyle Freeland (1-6, 8.06 ERA)... The matchup will test whether the Brewers can sustain their offensive firepower without Misiorowski on the mound.
