Baseball is a tough sport, especially when Cy Young Award candidate Jacob Misiorowski is giving up only a pair of runs in six innings but still gets tagged with the loss.

That loss ended a streak of five straight wins for The Miz, someone Milwaukee has relied on as their new ace for the 2026 season.

His speed was there, his stuff was nasty, but ultimately, the Brewers' offense didn't show up. 

This loss marks back-to-back for the Brew Crew where they had all of the pieces they needed to pull out a win but simply fell up short.

One of Pat Murphy's best quotes after the game was, "You know, you’re going to give up runs if you’re a human.”

If there was ever a doubt, Misiorowski is indeed human. He ended up giving up a run for the first time since May 25, and it's incredible to think the two he just gave up in Atlanta tied was more than he'd given up in his last eight starts combined.

Misiorowski is a special pitcher, there's no doubt about it. His fastball continued to hit 100-plus mph. Incredibly, he set a record for the most 101-plus mph pitches in a game during the pitch-tracking era (2008). The extra day of rest clearly helped his case as he threw 47 heaters in that range, surpassing his previous record of 45 that was set just 13 days ago.

Murphy showered the 24-year-old with praise after the game. Knowing what he's done in his last few starts, this feels like he's regressing which is an unreal sentence to say out loud. Ultimately, he gave up just five hits, all of which were singles, and didn't give up any runs until the sixth inning, which just so happened to be his last.

Remember, Atlanta is legit. This Braves squad sits at 47-27 and has the second most wins in all of baseball. Milwaukee has their work cut out for them if they want to secure the No. 1 seed again, and it's going to take a heroic effort from this offense the rest of the weekend.

A pitchers win/loss record doesn't mean everything, especially when it mostly relies on how their teammates perform on offense. Milwaukee, coming off a tough loss at American Family Field, once again left 11 runners on base as they managed to secure 11 hits but only had two runs to show for it.

Against Atlanta, that isn't going to cut it, and in no world did Misiorowski deserve a loss for his performance in this one.
