Brewers Rookie Jacob Misiorowski Dominates Early, Fades in Crucial NLCS Game 3

Milwaukee Brewers rookie right-hander Jacob Misiorowski delivered an electric performance for much of NLCS Game 3, setting a Brewers postseason rookie record with nine strikeouts. The 23-year-old, who topped 100 mph with 17 pitches, entered in the first inning, stranding two inherited runners and not allowing another runner until the sixth. However, his fastball velocity, previously 100 mph or more, dipped to 98-99 mph in the sixth as he began to fade. He then surrendered a tiebreaking single to Tommy Edman, giving the Dodgers a 2-1 lead. Misiorowski had previously dismantled the Dodgers with a 12-strikeout gem earlier in the season, earning a controversial All-Star nod.
