The Milwaukee Brewers have been fortunate to witness a historic start to Jacob Misiorowski’s career, but eventually, that first reality check came with a grand slam against the New York Mets in the second game of the doubleheader on Wednesday night.
The sensational young pitcher’s frequently discussed control was more of an issue in this game than in recent starts. He threw barely more than half his pitches for strikes and lacked his trademark swing-and-miss stuff, tallying only two strikeouts.
But the heartbreaking moment in this start, the grand slam he surrendered, came in an unfortunate situation.
