Misiorowski Throws a No-Hitter Into the 7th and the Brewers Are Crushing It

Jacob Misiorowski just did something absolutely ridiculous against the Nationals on Thursday: he took a no-hitter into the 7th inning. Five and a third innings of untouched baseball. Eight strikeouts. Two walks. The Brewers are up 4-0 at Nationals Park, and Milwaukee's pitching staff is putting on a clinic.

The Misiorowski Masterclass

This is the kind of performance that makes you sit back and ask: what are we watching right now? Misiorowski's line through 5.1 innings is 0 hits, 0 runs, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts on 85 pitches. His ERA sits at 2.84 on the season. The Nationals have mustered absolutely nothing offensively, and the Brewers' defense has been clean, with zero errors through the first six innings. Anthony Ashby came in for relief and kept the perfection rolling with a clean two-thirds of an inning.

Milwaukee's Bats Show Up When It Matters

While Misiorowski was shutting down Washington, the Brewers' lineup found just enough run support to make this a route. They've pushed across four runs on six hits. Willy Contreras went 2-for-3 with an RBI, singling to center in the 3rd with Hamilton scoring, then adding another single to left in the 5th. Dalton Hamilton scored twice. Tommy Black went 2-for-3 with a double to left field that drove in a run.

The Nationals, sitting at 15-17 with a 3-10 home record, have been completely shut out through six innings. Their offense is nowhere to be found, and at this pace, that's not changing anytime soon.

Where Milwaukee Stands

The Brewers improved to 16-14 on the season with this win, moving to 6-6 in away games. They're sitting 3.5 games back in their division, and performances like this from Misiorowski are exactly what they need to stay competitive. Washington drops to 15-17 and stays 7 games back in their division standings.

The Brewers are back at it Friday night as this series continues. If Milwaukee can keep this pitching dominance rolling, they've got a real chance to run away with this series and keep their season on track.
