Jacob Misiorowski led the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. Misiorowski allowed one run on five hits across six innings, using a mix of pitches to escape a bases-loaded situation in the fifth inning by striking out Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman. Ohtani contributed the Dodgers' lone run with a triple in the third, yet Misiorowski's solid performance combined with effective managing from catcher William Contreras highlighted his growth as a pitcher. The Brewers have now won two of three games in this critical series, maintaining a positive trajectory in the standings as they compete for home-field advantage. Misiorowski improved to 12-5 with a lowered ERA of 1.75 after this outing.

"A dominant fastball has made Jacob Misiorowski one of the most exciting pitchers in baseball over the past two seasons, but it was an effective slider that helped him get out of a bases-loaded jam by striking out Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman in the Milwaukee Brewers' 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. “He’s understanding how his breaking stuff moves and what he can do with it on any particular day,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. Misiorowski allowed one run on five hits in six innings, needing an expanded arsenal of pitches to get out of the fifth unscathed after the bottom of the Dodgers' order had three consecutive singles to bring up Ohtani with one out.
