Milwaukee Ace Injured During Dominant No-Hit Bid
2 May
Summary
- Misiorowski took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before exiting with an injury.
- He struck out eight batters, throwing his fastball over 100 miles per hour.
- The injury was later confirmed as a right hamstring cramp, not an arm issue.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski exited his start on Friday night while in the midst of a no-hit bid against the Washington Nationals. He had pitched 5 1/3 hitless innings, striking out eight batters and showcasing his fastball exceeding 100 miles per hour.
Misiorowski's dominant performance was halted in the sixth inning when he signaled for the team trainer. After a consultation, he left the game, replaced by Aaron Ashby. The Brewers later announced the injury was a right hamstring cramp, a development that likely eases concerns about a potential arm injury.
The Brewers have been significantly impacted by injuries early in their season, with several key players like Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich also facing stints on the injured list. Misiorowski has emerged as a standout pitcher for the team this season, and his health is crucial as Milwaukee aims to remain competitive in the NL Central.
