Misiorowski Fans First Seven, Sets Brewers Record Sport By lines July 27, 2026 Jacob Misiorowski handed the Milwaukee Brewers a brand-new franchise record.

The Brewers ace overpowered Colorado from the opening pitch. The Brewers Have Never Opened a Game Like This Misiorowski opened the game by fanning seven Rockies in a row. That run set a Milwaukee Brewers franchise record for strikeouts to start a game. Misiorowski struck out 12 of Colorado’s first 13 hitters. He struck out the side in the first inning. The Brewers had never watched a starter begin an outing this way. Colorado could not square up his fastball for four innings. The velocity behind the record was the real headline. Misiorowski threw 66 of his 83 pitches at 100 mph or faster. He topped out at 104.7 mph on the radar gun. That broke his own mark for the most 100-mph pitches in a game. Pitch tracking has logged that data since 2008. Misiorowski then wrote his name into a century-old ledger. He became the first pitcher since 1920 with 11 strikeouts and no hits through four innings. That kind of start had not happened in more than 100 years. Misiorowski paired raw velocity with a swing-and-miss slider all afternoon. Rockies hitters chased his fastball out of the zone repeatedly. The outing fits a season that has been historic for Misiorowski. He leads all of MLB with a 1.62 ERA and a 0.76 WHIP. Misiorowski also tops the majors with 167 strikeouts. Those numbers earned Misiorowski his second All-Star nod at age 24. His rookie 2025 line sat at a 4.36 ERA across 66 innings. The timing lifts Milwaukee as the trade deadline nears on August 3. The Brewers sit at 66-39 and lead the NL Central. Misiorowski has turned into the front-runner for the NL Cy Young Award. A rotation anchored by Misiorowski makes Milwaukee a clear buyer. The Brewers can chase bats while their ace carries the staff. Milwaukee owns one of baseball’s best records at 66-39. Milwaukee will lean on Misiorowski through a tight NL Central race. The Brewers entered Monday at 66-39 and in first place. His next start lands before the August 3 trade deadline. Bettors already list Misiorowski among the shortest NL Cy Young prices. The Brewers will ride that 1.62 ERA toward October.
