MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Jacob Misiorowski threw a 105.5 mph pitch, tying for the
third-fastest since tracking began in 2008, winning for the eighth time in nine
decisions to lead the Milwaukee Brewers over the Chicago Cubs 6-2 on Friday
night for their fifth straight win.
The 24-year-old right-hander reached 105.5 mph with his third pitch of the
game, which Pete Crow-Armstrong fouled off to the third-base side. Misiorowski
matched the 105.5 mph of the Los Angeles Angels' Ben Joyce on Sept. 3, 2024,
behind only 105.8 mph by Aroldis Chapman for Cincinnati on Sept. 24, 2010, and
105.7 mph by Chapman for the New York Yankees on July 18, 2016.
Misiorowski (9-3) didn't allow a hit until Seiya Suzuki's leadoff home run in
the sixth. He allowed one run, two hits, two walks and two wild pitches over
six innings while striking out eight.
Misiorowski threw 55 pitches of 100 mph or higher, including 40 of 101 mph or
more.
Coming off his first loss since April, Misiorowski improved to 8-1 in his last
10 starts with a 0.54 ERA. He leads the major leagues with a 1.45 ERA this
season.
Garrett Mitchell and William Contreras hit two-run homers. Mitchell's drive off
Ethan Roberts (0-2) put Milwaukee ahead 3-1 in a three-run sixth capped by
David Hamilton's RBI triple.
Contreras homered against Jayden Murray in the seventh and Christian Yelich
added an RBI double in the eighth.
Suzuki also had a sacrifice fly for the Cubs, who had won four in a row.
Brewers pitcher Abner Uribe allowed one hit a scoreless seventh, returning from
a one-game suspension assessed by Major League Baseball for making three
WWE-style crotch chops while facing St. Louis' dugout during a 6-0 victory over
the Cardinals on May 26.
Crow-Armstrong went 0 for 3, ending his 14-game hitting streak and 27 on-base
streak, both career best.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy, who had surgery Thursday for a ruptured disk in his
back, guided his club from a safe spot near the dugout.
Chicago placed right-hander Phil Maton on the 15-day injured list with right
knee tendinitis and the Brewers activated left-hander Jared Koenig from the IL
after he recovered from a sprained left elbow. Milwaukee had optioned
right-hander Craig Yoho to Triple-A Nashville.
Up next
LHP David Peterson (3-6, 6.09 ERA) makes his Cubs debut after being acquired
Thursday from the New York Mets for minor league third baseman Cole Mathis. LHP
Kyle Harrison (8-1, 2.50) starts for the Brewers.
