The Milwaukee Brewers were charged with an error, one that saved four earned runs for counting against Jacob Misiorowski.

Miz may have given up five runs in the game, but only one of which was earned.

It was a shorter start for the 24-year-old as he went just 5.0 innings for the first time since Sunday, April 19.

Misiorowski worked his magic once again though, striking out 10 Cincinnati Reds batters, even though he took the loss and now sits at 9-4 on the season.

Had a Brewers fan quickly checked the box score, they would've seen Milwaukee trail by five runs through four innings. Misiorowski gave up a rare first inning run, one that immediately saw the Brewers trail 1-0.

The Brewers added a run in the fifth and sixth innings, but at that point they trailed 5-2 and couldn't muster anything else up in the final three innings while the bullpen allowed another two to score.

Now, that's two losses for Misiorowski in his last three starts. Again, he's 9-4, so he still has a stellar win/loss total. Ultimately, fans are going to be discouraged if they don't discover that he only gave up one earned run in this game.

Thursday, July 2, marks the first time Misiorowski gave up a pair of homers in nearly three months. Hitters tend to have an extremely hard time against him, and clearly 10 did in this game, but the Reds also got around to Miz with a solo shot in the first and a three-run blast in the fourth.

Not often are the Brewers trailing 5-0 in a game where Misiorowski starts, but he'll have another two chances to prove himself before the first half of the 2026 season comes to a close.

First baseman Jake Bauers got charged with a fielding error in the fourth inning, one that saved Misiorowski from having extra runs cost against him. Some fans will argue he got bailed out, but there's no doubt the Brewers wouldn't have been in that situation if the inning started differently.

The fourth inning was Misiorowski's roughest, by far, as he gave up a pair of singles and the three-run homer. Knowing he only gave up five hits in five innings, it's incredible to think one came in the first with the solo shot and three were in this fourth inning.
