The Milwaukee Brewers’ ace Jacob Misiorowski has a difficult start in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, managing to work into the fifth inning before his night ends. A key stretch for Los Angeles comes as Misiorowski is forced deep into counts and deals with frequent fouls, culminating in his final batter, Mookie Betts, reaching on a one-out walk.
Outlets describe the overall theme of the outing as a grind for the Cy Young frontrunner, with Milwaukee needing him to go multiple innings. Coverage emphasizes that the Dodgers apply early pressure, and that Misiorowski’s pitch workload rises as he gives opponents opportunities to extend at-bats. The result is that his effectiveness is limited, cutting his outing short compared with his usual role as the Brewers’ leading starter.
