By Jack BaerYahoo Sports

It's been more than a month since the Brewers flame-thrower has allowed an extra-base hit.

After the two most ridiculous starts in MLB history from a velocity standpoint, Jacob Misiorowski had to make do with only 101 mph heat against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. It went fine. The Milwaukee Brewers ace shut down the division rival with six scoreless innings, striking out eight while allowing only three hits and one walk.

His ERA now sits at 1. 89 through 10 starts. He also leads MLB with 88 strikeouts on the season.

It’s not hard to see how he got there. Jacob Misiorowski's 8th K of the night is his 88th this season 🔥 He struck out 87 over 66 IP in his rookie campaign. pic.
