Jacob Misiorowski sets record for heat and Brice Turang homers twice as Brewers beat Rockies 7-1
DENVER (AP) — Jacob Misiorowski threw a record-setting 103.7 mph pitch and Brice Turang hit two of Milwaukee’s five solo home runs as the Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 7-1 on Saturday night.
David Hamilton, William Contreras and Jake Bauers also went deep for Milwaukee.
Misiorowski (7-2) followed up his sensational May — he was 5-0 with a 0.23 ERA in six starts — with another excellent outing. He allowed just an unearned run on four hits and struck out eight in seven innings to lower his ERA to 1.50.
The right-hander worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the sixth and struck out Jake McCarthy and Sterlin Thompson looking with a runner on third to end his night.
Misiorowski fired a 103.7 mph fastball that was low and outside to Kyle Karros in the third inning, the fastest pitch by a major league starter since tracking began in 2008.
