MLB: Brewers' fireballer Misiorowski takes loss after 2 months as Braves win 3-2

Milwaukee Brewers' flamethrowing ace Jacob Misiorowski saw his impressive streak end as he was handed a loss after two months, with his team falling 2-3 to the Atlanta Braves. The 24-year-old right-hander, who had been dominant, struggled in the sixth inning, allowing a pivotal two-run single that shifted the momentum.

Misiorowski, who touched 101.3 mph (163 kph) during the game, had navigated through the Braves' lineup effectively for the first five innings. However, the sixth inning proved costly. After loading the bases with a combination of hits and a walk, he struck out one batter before surrendering the go-ahead hit to Mauricio Dubón.

The Braves extended their lead in the seventh inning with a solo home run. While the Brewers managed to score a run in the ninth and had runners on second and third with one out, Braves closer Raisel Iglesias secured the win with a subsequent strikeout, ending the game.

Despite this setback, which marked Misiorowski's third loss of the season and raised his ERA from 1.34 to 1.45, the Brewers continue to hold first place in the National League Central division. The loss also snapped a three-game winning streak for the Braves, who now lead the National League East.
