Ben Joyce and Jacob Misiorowski were pumping GAS All of tonight's five fastest pitches were 104+ MPH 🔥 https://t.co/JZC Via @MLB on X

What happened: Ben Joyce and Jacob Misiorowski accounted for all five of Sunday's fastest pitches, each clocked at 104 mph or better. The two right-handers were the only pitchers to clear that mark on the day.

Why it matters: Misiorowski struck out Freeman to escape a bases-loaded jam earlier Sunday, and the velocity readings underscore the kind of stuff that's made him a focal point of Milwaukee's rotation this series. Triple-digit heat from two different arms on the same day is a rare confluence even in a league increasingly stocked with high-octane throwers.

By the numbers: All five of Sunday's hardest-thrown pitches came in at 104+ mph, split between Joyce and Misiorowski.

What to watch: Both pitchers' next outings will be watched for whether the velocity holds.
