MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jacob Misiorowski reached 103 mph on 10 pitches while pitching two-hit ball over six innings and Brandon Lockridge hit two RBI singles before getting carted off the field in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 6-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night. Misiorowski reached a peak velocity of 103. 6 mph and struck out 12 and walked two in his second straight sensational start.
Misiorowski had a no-hit bid through 5 1/3 innings before a hamstring cramp forced him out of a 6-1 victory over the Washington Nationals last week. Lockridge left after his right knee crashed into an unpadded section of the left-field wall as he chased a foul ball from Cody Bellinger in the fourth inning. The Brewers, who were in the American League through the 1997 season before moving over to the NL, shut out the Yankees for the first time since 1992.
Milwaukee’s Shane Drohan worked the three innings to earn his first career save. José Caballero had two of New York’s three hits as the Yankees opened a nine-game trip. New York’s Spencer Jones struck out twice and walked once in his MLB debut, and Kervin Jones allowed one run over two innings in his Yankees debut.
Ben Rice was 0-for-4 as he returned after missing four games with a bruised hand. Milwaukee scored four runs off Max Fried (4-2) in the second inning. Gary Sánchez hit a leadoff single, then Fried walked Andrew Vaughn and Luis Rengifo on eight straight balls.
