Misiorowski exits Game 5 with calf cramp after dominating Rays

ST. PETERSBURG, FL - OCTOBER 28: Jacob Misiorowski #32 of the Milwaukee Brewers takes a timeout at the mound in the sixth inning during Game Five of the 2026 World Series presented by Capital One between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski departed Wednesday's Game 5 of the World Series with a right calf cramp.

Misiorowski didn't allow a run over 5 2/3 innings against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. The 24-year-old surrendered just two hits, walked one, and struck out two before leaving the Brewers' title-clinching 4-1 victory.

Misiorowski and Tom Galvine (1996) are the only two pitchers to go five-plus frames with two or fewer hits allowed in a potential Fall Classic clincher, according to Sarah Langs of MLB.com.

Misiorowski owns a 1.89 ERA with 1.11 WHIP and 16 strikeouts over 19 innings in the playoffs.

The NL Cy Young favorite has dealt with cramping issues over the last few years.
