Chourio Stars as the Brewers Beat the Cubs 9-5 Despite Shaky Start by Misiorowski
Misiorowski allowed five earned runs and four walks as his fastball command slipped, but Milwaukee’s bullpen and bats still erased the deficit.
- On Wednesday, September 2, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs 9-5 at Wrigley Field, despite ace Jacob Misiorowski allowing five earned runs over four innings.
- Misiorowski struggled with pitch command, not velocity; his fastball usage dropped to 48% while he leaned heavily on his cutter at 36%, nearly triple his normal 14%.
- Statcast data contradicts fatigue theories: the 24-year-old's fastball averaged 100.9 mph, consistent with his season average, and he recorded 13 swinging strikes despite throwing 92 pitches.
- Securing the win, the Brewers bullpen held firm while Chicago Cubs pitcher Jacob Webb left after a line drive struck his forearm; X-rays came back negative.
- With 155 innings pitched this year, Misiorowski has already surpassed his 2025 total, and the NL Central-leading Brewers watch as he chases Ben Sheets' franchise record of 264 strikeouts.
