Jacob Misiorowski Injured in World Series, Latest Update on Brewers Ace After Exiting vs. Rays

Jacob Misiorowski's start against the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 of the World Series ended a bit earlier than he would've liked.

The Milwaukee Brewers' ace pitched 5.2 scoreless innings before being forced to exit because of an apparent cramp. Misiorowski took a few sips of a drink from the trainers before leaving the mound, but ultimately had to call it a day.

The 24-year-old Misiorowski, playing in his second-ever postseason, had been fantastic before exiting. In his 5.2 innings, he gave up just two hits and a walk while striking out a pair, helping the Brewers take a 4-0 lead into the seventh inning.

It appears Misiorowski is dealing with a minor injury, but he should have plenty of time to recover since Milwaukee is on the brink of closing out the series and winning the World Series.

Misiorowski also got the start in Game 1, and he went 5.0 innings, giving up four hits, a walk and a run while striking out five batters. The Brewers won the game 3-2.

Misiorowski, just two seasons into his MLB career, will presumably take home the NL Cy Young Award after a fantastic year on the mound. He made 30 regular-season starts, posting a 16-5 record while leading the majors in ERA (1.80), strikeouts (252) and WHIP (0.80).

His phenomenal second season will only get better if the Brewers can close things out against the Rays.
