Jacob Misiorowski got the win in the much-anticipated pitching duel between him and Paul Skenes on Wednesday. Two of MLB's youngest, most exciting pitchers faced off and Misiorowski came out better on the afternoon as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2.
Of the two, Skenes is the more established star pitcher at this point. He is in his second MLB season, already became a rookie All-Star and boasted a 1.85 ERA entering Wednesday's game. Yet it was the rookie Misiorowski, making just his third career start, who shone in this matchup. Misiorowski pitched five innings and allowed two hits, two walks and no earned runs while striking out six. He began his career with an incredible 11 hitless innings and continued to impress by recording his 27th pitch of at least 101 miles per hour under tracking.
