Brewers' Misiorowski sets record with 57 100 mph pitches in game since tracking

MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski threw 57 pitches of at least
100 mph --- the most in a single game since pitch tracking began in 2008 ---
while getting 12 strikeouts to match his career high Monday in a 5-1 win
against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The previous record for 100-mph pitches in a single game was 47 by Cincinnati's
Hunter Greene against St. Louis on Sept. 17, 2022.
Misiorowski (5-2) allowed two hits and one walk in his seven-inning stint. He
improved his ERA to 1.83.
The 24-year-old right-hander reached 101 mph on 40 of his 96 pitches. He got to
102 mph on 22 pitches and had nine of at least 103. His top velocity was 103.4
mph, which he reached three times.
Nine of his strikeouts came on pitches that reached 100 mph, tying the
single-game record that Greene set in that 2022 game against St. Louis.
Misiorowski started the game by walking JJ Wetherholt on a 3-2 pitch inside,
but the Cardinals didn't get another runner on base until Pedro Pags hit a
bloop single to lead off the sixth. The Cardinals got a run later in the sixth
to end Misiorowski's streak of consecutive scoreless innings at 29 1/3.
Teddy Higuera owns the Brewers franchise record with 32 straight scoreless
innings in 1987. Misiorowski entered Monday having not allowed any runs in his
past four starts.
