The Milwaukee Brewers fell to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, 3-1, and right-hander Jacob Misiorowski threw another gem.

However, for the second time in his last three starts, another outing was interrupted by leg cramps.

Misiorowski logged seven innings of shutout work with 10 strikeouts while only allowing four hits, and he looked like he could have gone longer, but a cramp in his quad compelled him back to the dugout.

The last time that Misiorowski was forced from a strong game due to cramping was on May 1 against the Washington Nationals, when he went 5 ⅓ shutout innings with eight strikeouts and no hits, but left due to cramping in his hamstring.

After the game, Misiorowski assured the media that he will be OK.

"Yeah, probably the exact same, but it was the quad this time instead of the hamstring," Misiorowski said. "So, nothing we haven't seen before, so it'll be fine. I mean, I felt like I was in a good spot to keep rolling, but it just is what it is."

According to his Baseball Savant profile, Misiorowski threw 93 total pitches in the game, 57 of which were in the strike zone. He relied mostly on the four-seam fastball (57 pitches) and hit a top velocity of 103.3 mph, but also went to the slider 32 times. 

After efficiently getting through the middle innings, he began to notice the cramping when he was warming up to return in the eighth inning.

"I mean, I dumped the tank in the seventh and was trying to push in making the eighth," he said. "Honestly, I threw that first warm up pitch and was walking backwards up the mound and was walking up and I kind of felt it coming on and kind of stood there for a second. I was like, 'OK, let's see if it's gonna do it.'"

In Misiorowski’s start against the Nationals that was cut short, he threw a no-hitter but allowed two walks. Wednesday, however, bore opposite results as he allowed four hits but no walks. Not allowing batters to draw walks is something he takes pride in, despite feeling as if he did not throw his best pitches.

"Yeah, I mean, I honestly didn't feel like I had my best stuff," Misiorowski said. "Like, I thought I was spraying those first few innings and what helped a lot was the guys over there, they were swinging, and they were putting balls in play and some were falling, but that's probably the biggest factor of it all."

Despite the interruption, Misiorowski was happy to pitch as well as he did against the Padres' lineup.

"Yeah, I mean, it's awesome," he said. "It's awesome to go from the Yankees to this and still have it."
