One Sentence Summary: In one of the most dominant pitching performances in recent history, Jacob Misiorowski pitched a complete game shutout against the Phillies, striking out 15 batters.
What It Means: The Phillies had no shot in this game.
What Happened: Misiorowski faced the minimum 27 batters. Kyle Schwarber singled to center to start the fourth but was erased on 4-6-3 double play ground out off the bat of Bryce Harper. The Brewers starter needed 95 pitches for his masterpiece, and the game took two hours, four minutes to complete. Misiorowski threw 58 pitches topping 100 mph, and he struck out Schwarber in the first on a pitch that hit 104.5 mph - the fastest pitch thrown by a starting pitcher since pitch tracking started in 2008.

The Phillies went with opener Tanner Banks to help ease Andrew Painter into this game. Banks allowed a first inning run and Painter allowed five runs over five innings, raising his season ERA to 6.43. It will be interesting to see how Misiorowski and Cristopher Sanchez continue to measure against each other as the season progresses. I'll also be interested to see how much longer the Phillies stick with Painter in the rotation.
Featured Card: The last opposing pitcher to face just 27 Phillies batters was the Expos' Gary Waslewski on July 6, 1969. Waslewski allowed a hit to Rick Joseph and walked Deron Johnson, but both runners were erased on double plays.
Transaction: A lat muscle tear suffered by Adolis Garcia in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays set off a flurry of roster moves prior to this game. On Thursday, the Phillies acquired Derek Hill (of) and cash considerations from the White Sox for minor leaguers Dylan Campbell (of) and Jose Colmenares (inf). Jackson Rutledge (rhp) was designated for assignment to make room for Hill on the 40-man roster. Hill is a veteran of seven big league seasons, and he was batting .213 with four home runs with the White Sox so far this season. He played in all three recent games against the Phillies, going 1 for 7 with a home run off Jesus Luzardo. Hill has seen time with the Tigers, Nationals, Rangers, Giants, Marlins and White Sox.

Before this game, Hill was activated and Gabriel Rincones, Jr. (of) was recalled from Lehigh Valley. Garcia (of) was placed on the 60-day injured list and Steward Berroa (of) was placed on the paternity list. Rincones started in right and went 0 for 3 in his big league debut, with a pair of strike outs.
