On Friday, the Milwaukee Brewers were tasked with hosting the red-hot New York Yankees, who came to American Family Field with one of baseball’s top offenses and records.

For Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski, that would not be a problem.

Misiorowski posted an 11-strikeout gem in which he allowed just two walks and two hits over six innings of work. He took the mound like a flamethrower and delivered the five fastest pitches ever recorded by a starting pitcher in the first inning.

Misiorowski’s effort, paired with a four-run second inning by the offense, led to a 6-0 Brewers win by the end of the evening, marking the first time they had shutout the Yankees since Sept 2, 1992, according to Baseball Reference.

After the game, Misiorowski reacted to his performance.

"Yeah, I mean, it's probably one of the top three," Misiorowski told the media. "Probably, you know? You have to go playoffs for one, but, you know, it's definitely up there with that. Just like, everything was timed up and, you know, dialed in, so it felt good."

Misiorowski threw 10 pitches in the first inning, the lowest of which clocked at 102.4 mph. For him, the ability to achieve such speeds was new at this stage of his career, and it was predicated on adrenaline, a feeling he has used to his advantage time and time again.

"I mean, not at this level, but yeah,"Misiorowski said. "I've had games in the past where, you know, you get that sudden burst of adrenaline in the fifth or sixth somewhere, and, you know, you find it back, but, you know, this was a first for the big leagues."

Misiorowski also just missed the achievement of pitching an immaculate inning, which he did not realize initially.

"No, no, I had no clue, you know? I got told in the dugout, but I went back and looked," Misiorowski said. "I thought it was close, but, you know, oh well."

Misiorowski's performance also happened in the company of a franchise great, CC Sabathia, who was inducted into the Brewers’ Wall of Honor and threw out the first pitch on Friday.

"It's really cool, yeah," Misiorowski said. "CC's the man, so it's really cool to, you know, meet a guy like that. He came in before and, you know, got to really talk with him and pick his brain a little bit. So, it was fun."

When asked about what allows Misiorowski to pitch well in high-level environments, he circled back to his go-to answer.

"I think it's just adrenaline," he said. "I think that's all it is. I think, you know, you start getting hyped up and you want to perform for your teammates behind you because, you know, they're doing the same for me, so, you know, that's the whole goal."
