Misiorowski Sets Brewers Record With Seven Straight Strikeouts to Start Game

This performance highlights elite velocity that strengthens his NL Cy Young case.

Overview

  • Jacob Misiorowski struck out the first seven Colorado batters to open the game on Sunday, establishing a new Milwaukee Brewers franchise record for consecutive strikeouts to start a game.
  • He retired the first 14 batters and recorded 11 strikeouts among the first 12 hitters faced before Cole Carrigg ended the perfect game with a two-out home run in the fifth inning.
  • Statcast and game coverage tracked extreme velocity early in the outing, including at least 13 pitches over 100 mph in the first inning and prior season marks of a 105.5 mph fastball and 57 pitches above 100 mph in one game.
  • Some outlets briefly reported a 12-of-14 strikeout line before official accounts and the AP settled on 11 of the first 12, highlighting common early-game stat discrepancies in live reporting.
  • The start builds on a dominant 2026 campaign — including a roughly 10-4 record and a 1.57 ERA — that keeps Misiorowski among the leading NL Cy Young contenders if he sustains this level the rest of the season.
