Jacob Misiorowski’s stellar Game 5 World Series start continued Brewers’ ace’s impressive trend

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski delivered a stellar performance in Game 5 of the World Series, throwing 5⅔ scoreless innings against the Tampa Bay Rays before exiting due to a leg cramp. Reviewing the Brew argues that this outing continued an impressive trend of the young ace consistently rising to the occasion in high-leverage postseason moments.

The writer notes that Misiorowski stepped into the ace role following the trade of Freddy Peralta and Brandon Woodruff's health questions, earning an All-Star selection and frontrunner status for the NL Cy Young. Throughout the 2026 postseason, Misiorowski also started Game 1 in each round, helping lead Milwaukee toward its first championship title.
