What happened: Jacob Misiorowski struck out Freddie Freeman to get out of a bases-loaded jam. The right-hander had opened the game by throwing 21 consecutive fastballs, 17 of them for strikes.

Why it matters: The strikeout came weeks after Misiorowski reached 200 strikeouts on the season, underscoring a workload that has leaned almost entirely on his fastball to work out of trouble.

By the numbers: 21 consecutive fastballs to open the game, 17 for strikes.

What to watch: Watch his next outing for whether the heavy fastball usage continues or he mixes in more secondary pitches.
