What happened: <a href='https://wire.report/article/arod-sees-a-closers-edge-in-brewers-ace-jacob-misiorowski-2026-10-03'>Jacob Misiorowski</a> touched 102 mph early in Game 1. He induced an inning-ending double play to keep the opener scoreless.

Why it matters: A scoreless escape in the opener sets the tone for a Game 1 starter in a short series. Early velocity gives him margin before the lineup turns over.

What to watch: Watch his pitch count and second trip through the order.
