MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Jacob Misiorowski made history in his Major League Baseball debut Thursday night with the Milwaukee Brewers, becoming just the ninth pitcher since 1901 to throw at least five no-hit innings in his first start.
The Milwaukee Brewers' top pitching prospect showed why he's been highly anticipated, with his first three pitches each reaching triple digits on the radar gun. Misiorowski was pulled early in the sixth inning after rolling his ankle.

"I went to a local print shop in Grain Valley (on Friday) and said, 'Hey guys, I have this coming up," she shared with TMJ4. "I don't know when, but I need to get these shirts printed and I need to do it kind of quick.... I called them up on Tuesday morning. I said, 'Hey, can you print that like today? Because I'm leaving tomorrow."
