Misiorowski's Dominant Start Cut Short by Hamstring Cramp

On May 2nd, Milwaukee Brewer's 6-foot-7 right-hander, Jacob Misirovsky was dominating the Washington

Nationals Friday night, tossing five and one-third hilless innings with eight strikeouts and two

walks in a 6-to-1 victory. The 24-year-old fired a 98.9 mile per hour fastball to end his night

before a right-hamstring cramp sidelined him. He'd already unleashed 43 pitches at 100 miles per

hour or faster, ranking third all times since tracking started in 2008. Misirovsky felt the

twinge at the start of the sixth and smartly handed it off to the bullpen rather than risk

worsening it. After a quick chat with manager Pat Murphy and the trainer on the mound,

he walked off, calling it just a cramp he didn't want to push. The brewers are crossing their

fingers. It's nothing serious, especially with their rotation already banged up. Aaron Ashby

took over, but Daelin Lau's double in the seventh ended the combined no-hitter bid, even after left

fielder Blake Perkins doe for it. This comes right after placing Brandon Woodruff on the 15-day

injured list for right-shoulder inflammation and with Quinn Priester still out from. The

rassic outlets syndrome. Murphy knows the drill, saying teams brace for the full injury catastrophe

every season, though usually not this early by May 1st. For now, Milwaukee grinds on, hoping

Missirovsky bounces back quick to keep that momentum rolling. You've been listening to Milwaukee
