Quick Summary

Jacob Misiorowski’s impressive performance in Game 5 of the World Series ended prematurely due to a right calf cramp. The Brewers’ pitcher had thrown 5 ²/₃ scoreless innings with just two strikeouts before leaving the game after 86 pitches while maintaining a 4-0 lead. JoJo Romero took over for the final out in the sixth inning, and Milwaukee now holds a 3-1 series advantage as they aim for their first World Series title.
