Misiorowski's Historic Opening Day

0:00On March 27, Jacob Mizierowski made history for the Milwaukee Brewers on opening day against the Chicago White Sox. The 23-year-old pitcher shrugged out 11 batters in five innings, setting a new team record for the occasion. He allowed just two hits and generated 25 whiffs, helping lead his team to a 14-to-2 victory at American Family Field. Despite the strong overall line, Mizierowski gave up a lead-off home run to Chase Midroth in the first inning, which rocketed off the bat at one. 107 miles per hour. He also walked three batters, but quickly settled in and dominated from there. Brewers manager Pat Murphy praised how Mizierowski bounced back from that early setback, calling it a tough start that brought out his best response. The rookie himself described the day as a whirlwind with lots of emotions and distractions like a giant flag in the outfield, but he shrugged off the home run as just part of the game. Mizierowski showed big strikeout potential as a rookie last season, and starting on opening day signals the team's trust in his growth.
