MILWAUKEE \u2014 Jacob Misiorowski says he isn\u2019t particularly concerned about the cramping that has caused him to leave two of his last three starts.<\/p>\n

Misiorowski came out for the eighth inning Wednesday but left with a cramp in his right quadriceps after throwing one warmup pitch in the Milwaukee Brewers\u2019\u00a03-1 loss<\/a>\u00a0to the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n

Misiorowski hasn\u2019t allowed a run in his last three outings<\/p>\n

He had a no-hit bid through 5 1\/3 innings in an 8-1 victory<\/a> at Washington on May 1 before departing that game with a right hamstring cramp.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cProbably the exact same, but it was the quad this time instead of the hamstring,\u201d Misiorowski said. \u201cNothing we haven\u2019t seen before, so it\u2019ll be fine. I\u2019m ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cramping appears to be the only significant obstacle for the hard-throwing 24-year-old right-hander, who hasn\u2019t allowed a run in his last three outings.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe puts so much into it. \u2026 We have people here to get it under control,\u201d Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s a concern.\u201d<\/p>\n

Misiorowski struck out 10 and allowed four hits and no walks, leaving with a 1-0 lead. The Padres rallied to win on Gavin Sheets\u2019 three-run homer off Abner Uribe with two outs in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n

That came five nights after Misiorowski struck out 11 and allowed two hits and two walks in a 6-0 victory<\/a> over the New York Yankees. He had eight strikeouts and two walks against the Nationals.<\/p>\n

He has struck out at least eight batters in each of his last five starts to tie Ben Sheets for the second-longest such streak in Brewers history. Corbin Burnes owns the franchise record with seven straight games of at least eight strikeouts in his Cy Young Award-winning<\/a> season of 2021.<\/p>\n

Misiorowski throws the hardest of any starting pitcher in the big leagues.<\/p>\n

Against the Yankees, Misiorowski had 10 pitches go at least 103 mph and had three pitches of 103.6 mph, the highest velocity<\/a> any starter has reached since pitch tracking began in 2008.<\/p>\n

Misiorowski threw 40 pitches of 100 mph or higher on Wednesday, his third straight game with 40 or more. He struck out Nick Castellanos with a 103.2-mph fastball on his 93rd and final pitch.<\/p>\n

New York Yankees slugger and three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge said that the extension Misiorowski gets with his 6-foot-7 frame makes his fastball particularly difficult to hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s almost basically releasing it in the catcher\u2019s glove,\u201d Judge said when the Yankees were in Milwaukee. \u201cYou see some guys who throw 103, but you get a little bit more time. A guy like that, where he\u2019s almost dropping it in the catcher\u2019s mitt, it makes for a tough day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Misiorowski leads major league pitchers with 80 strikeouts. His performance Wednesday lowered his ERA to 2.12.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly didn\u2019t feel like I had my best stuff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He diversified his approach by throwing a slider about 30% of the time Wednesday. He entered this game having used the slider on only 22.6% of his pitches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was just the game plan going in,\u201d Misiorowski said. \u201cThey saw something back there that they thought the slider would work better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MILWAUKEE \u2014 Jacob Misiorowski says he isn\u2019t particularly concerned about the cramping that has caused him to leave…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[1014,3550,6643,49,48,462,44,82,39,1994],"class_list":["post-669266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-app-sports","tag-app-top-stories","tag-associated-press","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-stories","tag-wisconsin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
