WASHINGTON - Jacob Misiorowski, who had just struck out the last four batters, was working on a no-hitter with one out in the bottom of the sixth and had thrown just 85 pitches, was abruptly removed from his start against the Washington Nationals after suffering a right hamstring cramp, an unsettling blow that could have been much worse for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Misiorowski, who entered the game leading the major leagues in strikeouts, strikeout and whiff percentage, had just elicited a swinging strike from Nationals leadoff batter James Wood on a 98.9 mph fastball when head athletic trainer Brad Epstein visited the mound.
After conferring with Epstein and manager Pat Murphy, Misirowski was removed from the game and replaced by Aaron Ashby, this coming the same day MIlwaukee placed starter Brandon Woodruff on the injured list with shoulder inflammation.
Yet this was a far more daunting loss given Misiorowski's tender age (24) and the high speeds he lives at on the radar gun. Misiorowski threw 43 pitches between 100 and 103 mph against the Nationals, striking out eight and walking two.
He now has 59 strikeouts in 38 innings this season - but now a cloud of concern over his health. Misiorowski spent a stint on the injured list last August when he was diagnosed with a left tibia contusion, yet returned shortly thereafter and pitched through the playoffs for Milwaukee.
