Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski leaves with cramping again after another dominating performance
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jacob Misiorowski says he isn’t particularly concerned about the cramping that has caused him to leave two of his last three starts. Misiorowski came out for the eighth inning Wednesday but left with a cramp in his right quadriceps after throwing one warmup pitch in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 3-1 loss to the San Diego Padres. He had a no-hit bid through 5 1/3 innings in an 8-1 victory at Washington on May 1 before departing that game with a right hamstring cramp.
“Probably the exact same, but it was the quad this time instead of the hamstring,” Misiorowski said. “Nothing we haven’t seen before, so it’ll be fine. I’m ready to go.
” Cramping appears to be the only significant obstacle for the hard-throwing 24-year-old right-hander, who hasn’t allowed a run in his last three outings. “He puts so much into it. … We have people here to get it under control,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said.
“I don’t think it’s a concern. ” Misiorowski struck out 10 and allowed four hits and no walks, leaving with a 1-0 lead. The Padres rallied to win on Gavin Sheets’ three-run homer off Abner Uribe with two outs in the ninth inning.
That came five nights after Misiorowski struck out 11 and allowed two hits and two walks in a 6-0 victory over the New York Yankees. He had eight strikeouts and two walks against the Nationals. He has struck out at least eight batters in each of his last five starts to tie Ben Sheets for the second-longest such streak in Brewers history.
