Misiorowski's Record-Setting Performance
Jacob Misiorowski's masterful outing leads Brewers to victory over Dodgers, boasts MLB's lowest ERA.
Jacob Misiorowski delivered another dominant start on Saturday, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, according to Yahoo Sports. The right-hander threw six innings, allowed just one earned run on five hits, and struck out six batters. His ERA dropped to 1.75 — the lowest mark in all of Major League Baseball.
The victory gave Misiorowski his 12th win of the season and put the Brewers up in the four-game weekend series after splitting the first two games, Yahoo Sports reported. Los Angeles starter Justin Wrobleski struggled, giving up two two-run home runs in the loss.
Misiorowski Shuts Down Dodgers With Season-Best Numbers
Misiorowski has been one of baseball's best pitchers in 2025. His 1.75 ERA leads the majors, and Saturday's performance was another strong example of why. He held one of the most powerful lineups in baseball to a single run over six innings. That kind of consistency has put him firmly in the National League Cy Young Award conversation, according to Sportskeeda.
One highlight stood out to fans. Misiorowski struck out Shohei Ohtani on just three pitches. Social media exploded after the at-bat, with fans calling it a "Real Cy Young strikes out fake Cy Young" moment, as Sportskeeda reported. Ohtani won the award in the American League in recent years but has not won it as a two-way player with the Dodgers.
Wrobleski Gives Up Two Big Home Runs in Rough Outing
Justin Wrobleski had a tough afternoon. The Dodgers starter gave up two two-run home runs, which accounted for all four Brewers runs. He did not make it deep into the game, and the Dodgers offense could not make up the difference against Misiorowski, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Despite the poor outing, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts voiced confidence in his starter after the game. The Los Angeles Times reported that Roberts believes Wrobleski's struggles are fixable and is not ready to give up on the young pitcher. The Dodgers still have one more game left in the series on Sunday.
Dodgers Hold Firm Atop NL West Despite Weekend Slip
The loss does not shake Los Angeles's grip on the National League West. The Dodgers still hold an eight-game lead over the San Diego Padres in the division, Yahoo Sports reported. That margin gives them plenty of room to absorb a tough weekend series against a hot Brewers team.
Milwaukee, meanwhile, picked up a valuable win on the road against a World Series contender. The Brewers took the series lead heading into the final game Sunday. A series win in Los Angeles would be a strong statement for a team looking to make noise in the National League.
