Misiorowski throws 5 1/3 no-hit innings, leaves early in 6-1 victory

May 1, 2026; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski (32) pitches against the Washington Nationals during the first inning at Nationals Park. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images | Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Jacob Misiorowski had a historic night on the mound. He also put a gigantic scare into the Brewer faithful when he had to be removed from the game while cruising in the sixth inning, but the Brewers have hopefully avoided any major concern over Misiorowski’s health (early reports are that he was cramping), and even with that, Miz had his best start of the season.

His offense backed him up tonight, too, led by William Contreras, who picked up four hits for the second straight game. Garrett Mitchell got the Brewers off to a good start as he hit a double over the head of right fielder James Wood on the game’s first strike, a 109 mph missile. Brice Turang was next and moved Mitchell to third on a groundout to first, and Mitchell scored the game’s first run when a sweeper from Nats starter Jake Irvin snuck past catcher Drew Millas (a ball that was initially ruled a wild pitch but was later changed to a passed ball).

Irvin recovered to get Contreras on a popup and Jake Bauers on a strikeout, but Milwaukee had an early 1-0 lead before Misiorowski touched the mound. Mitchell starts things off with a leadoff double & scores the first run of the day Watch on https://t. co/68EQQYUZ6Z pic.
