The Dodgers could do little to pressure Brewers pitching phenom Jacob Misiorowski, falling 3-1 in Milwaukee on Tuesday. It was the Dodgers' fifth straight loss.

Clayton Kershaw told reporters that he wasn’t familiar with Brewers rookie fireballer Jacob Misiorowski going into their matchup at American Family Field. Misiorowski saw the quote. And then he did something about it.

In his six innings of work, Misiorowski gave up only that one run on four hits. He walked one. He struck out 12. That is one shy of the Brewers' rookie record ( Freddy Peralta, now Misioroski's teammate, struck out 13 on May 13, 2018).

Earlier this week, top pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers was thrown into the fire as he matched up with legendary pitcher Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers. This would mark Misiorowski's fourth career start.

After being dismissive when asked about Misiorowski ahead of Tuesday’s game, Kershaw praises the hard-throwing Brewers right-hander’s performance against the Dodgers.

Last time at home, Jacob Misiorowski treated a sold-out crowd to a win over Paul Skenes. This time, it's a high-profile veteran facing off with Miz.
