Overview
- Jacob Misiorowski threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings in the regular-season finale on Sunday to end his tuneup with a standing ovation and finish 16-5.
- He led MLB with a 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts, a 0.80 WHIP and a .157 opponents’ batting average, placing him among only a handful of pitchers since 1950 to top all three categories.
- The Brewers completed a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals to reach a franchise-best 103-59, securing home-field advantage for the NL Division Series.
- Brice Turang collected his 100th RBI in the finale and the offense’s contact-and-speed approach helped the club score efficiently despite a low home-run total.
- Milwaukee limited Misiorowski’s innings late in the season and used a final tuneup start to protect his health while positioning him as the likely Game 1 starter in the NLDS this weekend.
