Misiorowski, whose fastball routinely tops 100 mph, threw an 88 mph curveball on an 0-2 count to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ two-way superstar, who crushed it for his 31st homer of the season. That’s the most by a Dodgers player before the All-Star break. It was the 21st career leadoff homer for Ohtani.

Milwaukee Brewers rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski said that giving up a home run to Shohei Ohtani inspired him to dominate the Dodgers.

In a rookie campaign already featuring multiple standout efforts, Tuesday's against the Dodgers may be Misiorowski's best yet.
