Quick Summary

Jacob Misiorowski started his first career playoff game for the Milwaukee Brewers against the San Diego Padres on Saturday night, throwing pitches clocked at 104 mph but struggled to get outs as the Padres fouled off 30 of his 88 pitches. This performance led to Misiorowski being pulled after four innings despite leading the majors in ERA, strikeouts, and batting average against this season. The Padres managed to score two runs in the second inning, ultimately forcing Misiorowski out earlier than expected due to his high pitch count.

Story summary

It appears you are interested in information regarding the MLB postseason game between the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres, specifically about unusual events during Game 1 of their NLDS series. One notable incident was when Ty France hit what seemed like a potential home run that struck a cable on the roof before being caught by left fielder Jackson Chourio for an out.

From your query, it seems you are also interested in details regarding the upcoming games between these teams but with a focus on the Brewers' home ground where the series started. However, there is no information suggesting future game dates or tickets for sale from your provided text.

If you're looking to find when and if Game 2 or subsequent games will be played at the same venue (or another), or how to get tickets, I would suggest visiting MLB's official website or contacting the Milwaukee Brewers directly through their ticket office. As of now, Game 1 is completed with the Brewers winning 3-2.

For any specific future game dates and ticket information for the remainder of this series, including if it progresses beyond the NLDS round, you'll want to check updated schedules once they are released by MLB or announced by either team's management.

Narrative

Misiorowski’s 1,115 pitches of 100 mph or more were the most in a season during the tracking era, shattering the prior mark of 673 by Jordan Hicks in 2018. But the 6-foot-7 right-hander wasn’t as dominant as usual Saturday as the Padres drove up his pitch count. San Diego even touched up Misiorowski for two runs in the second inning, which marked a giant step forward from the only other time the Padres faced him.

Claims (16 extracted, 3 hedged)

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jacob Misiorowski opened his first career playoff start Saturday night by throwing a 104.8 mph strike to Fernando Tatis Jr. — the fastest postseason pitch since tracking began in 2008. asserted

tracking → open → 2008

The next delivery to Tatis was 104.6 mph, the second-fastest of the tracking era. Yet the San Diego Padres hung tough against the NL Cy Young Award favorite by fouling off 30 of his 88 pitches — 31 if you count Xander Bogaerts’ popup that was caught in foul territory — to chase the Milwaukee Brewers ace after four innings in Game 1 of their NL Division Series. asserted

that → hang → Series

That matched the average length of Misiorowski’s three postseason relief appearances during the Brewers’ run to the National League Championship Series last year, when he posted a 1.50 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 12 playoff innings. asserted

he → match → innings

Misiorowski’s presence was a major reason why the Brewers entered the postseason believing they had a legitimate shot at winning their first World Series title. asserted

they → enter → title

The Brewers have home-field advantage throughout the postseason after winning a franchise-record 103 games during the regular season. asserted

Brewers → have → season

In his first full season in the big leagues, Misiorowski posted a 1.80 ERA, struck out 252 batters and limited hitters to a .157 batting average to lead the majors in all three categories. asserted

The only other pitchers since 1950 to finish a season atop all three of those categories were Sandy Koufax in 1965, J.R. Richard in 1979 and Mike Scott in 1986, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. uncertain

pitchers → finish → Bureau

That .157 opponents’ batting average was the lowest since 1900 for an AL or NL pitcher with 100 or more innings, improving upon Pedro Martinez’s .167 in 2000. asserted

average → improve → 2000

Misiorowski’s 0.80 WHIP (walks and hits allowed per innings pitched) was the lowest in a full regular season for pitchers with at least 150 innings since Martinez’s 0.73 in 2000. asserted

WHIP → allow → 2000

Padres → shatter → him

Misiorowski struck out 10 and allowed four hits in seven shutout innings against them on May 13, though San Diego rallied to win that game 3-1 on Gavin Sheets’ three-run homer off Abner Uribe with two outs in the ninth. uncertain

Diego → strike → ninth

Bogaerts, Ethan Salas and Luis Campusano hit consecutive one-out singles, with Campusano’s base hit to right field driving in Bogaerts. asserted

hit → hit → Bogaerts

Jake Cronenworth then hit a broken-bat grounder, and first baseman Jake Bauers was unable to throw out Salas at the plate. asserted

Bauers → hit → plate

San Diego could have done even more damage, but Manny Machado grounded out to leave the bases loaded. uncertain

Machado → do → bases

Those were the only two runs allowed by Misiorowski. asserted

Those → allow → Misiorowski

He struck out six while allowing four hits and one walk. asserted

He → strike → hits
