The Philadelphia Phillies entered this past weekend trying to keep pace in a crowded National League playoff race, but instead found themselves on the wrong end of one of the most dominant pitching performances of the 2026 season.
One year after some members of the Phillies clubhouse openly questioned Jacob Misiorowski’s controversial All-Star selection, the Milwaukee Brewers flamethrower delivered a reminder of exactly why so many evaluators have viewed him as one of baseball’s most electric young arms.
Milwaukee Brewers’ Jacob Misiorowski Dominates Philadelphia Phillies After All-Star Criticism
Misiorowski overwhelmed Philadelphia on Friday night, authored a performance that immediately recalled attention on some comments that Phillies shortstop Trea Turner made about the right-hander last summer.
“Brewers fireballer Jacob Misiorowski turned in his finest outing one year to the day of his major league debut,” ESPN News Services reported regarding the series opener last week. “As Misiorowski strode to the mound for the ninth inning, the capacity crowd of 40,205 rose in unison to cheer for the 24-year-old right-hander in what turned out to be one of the most impressive performances in franchise history.”
Misiorowski struck out 15 in a complete-game one-hitter and his team carried that into a 6-0 win over the Phillies.
