Misiorowski Set to Chase Brewers ERA Record

Jacob Misiorowski is set to make one final, likely pitch-limited start against the St. Louis Cardinals as the playoff-bound Milwaukee Brewers close out a historic regular season. The 24-year-old right-hander leads the majors with a 1.86 ERA and 247 strikeouts, making him the favorite for the National League Cy Young Award. His ERA is also poised to break the Brewers’ single-season record for a starting pitcher, set by Mike Caldwell in 1978. Milwaukee has secured the NL’s top seed, a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the postseason; Misiorowski has also drawn some support as an MVP finalist, though the award is generally difficult for pitchers to win.
