It was a night of "Misiorowski Mania" at American Family Field, as the Milwaukee Brewers' young flamethrower delivered a performance that had fans—and even Yankees hitters—shaking their heads. Facing the powerhouse New York Yankees for the first time in his career, Jacob Misiorowski brought the heat early and often, lighting up the radar gun with triple-digit fastballs that left the Bronx Bombers swinging at air.
The first inning set the tone. Pitch after pitch, Misiorowski hit 100 mph—not once, not twice, but repeatedly. It was old-school, country hardball at its finest, and the Yankees simply had no answer. By the time he exited after six dominant innings, the Brewers had a commanding lead and a 6-0 shutout victory that felt like a statement.
This wasn't just any Friday night matchup. It was a clash of two of MLB's best arms: Misiorowski against New York's Max Fried. Fried came in with a sparkling 4-1 record, but the Brewers' bats had other plans. They tagged him for six hits and five earned runs, chasing him from the game after just 4.2 innings. Meanwhile, Misiorowski improved to 3-2 on the season, striking out 11 while walking only two. His ERA now sits at a stellar 2.45.
Reliever Shane Drohan was equally impressive, working three perfect innings of relief to earn his first career save. He allowed just one hit and struck out three, slamming the door on any hopes of a Yankees comeback.
Even Yankees slugger Aaron Judge couldn't solve Milwaukee's pitching. Judge went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts, part of a night where New York managed just three hits total. Making matters worse for Yankees fans, top prospect Spencer Jones made his MLB debut in the loss, going 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts—a tough welcome to the big leagues.
The game was decided early. After a quiet first inning, the Brewers exploded for four runs in the second, giving Misiorowski all the support he'd need. The crowd at American Family Field was electric, sensing something special as their young ace mowed down one of the most feared lineups in baseball.
Even ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan took notice, sharing video of Misiorowski's blistering fastballs on social media with a simple but fitting caption: "Jacob Misiorowski’s fastballs so far against the Yankees 🤯."
For Brewers fans, it was a night to remember—and a glimpse of what could be a very special season for their young star. When you're hitting triple digits and shutting down the Yankees, you're not just winning games. You're creating a movement.
