Caps off dominant month of May
Misiorowski (6-2) earned the win Sunday against the Astros, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out eight.
Analysis
The Astros had no answers for the hard-throwing right-hander Sunday, mustering just three knocks (one double). Misiorowski put a bow on an incredible month of May in the process, during which he registered five scoreless starts in six outings en route to producing a microscopic 0.23 ERA, 0.52 WHIP and 57:6 K:BB covering 38.1 innings. He boasts a 1.65 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 108:19 K:BB over 71 frames overall, but Misiorowski's dominance is set to be tested next weekend in Colorado against the Rockies.

First to 100 Ks in dominant win
Misiorowski (5-2) earned the win Monday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with 12 strikeouts across seven innings.
Analysis
Dominance has become the expectation for Misiorowski, as the Cardinals' lone run in the sixth inning was the first run against Misiorowski in the month of May. His 12 strikeouts were a new season-high and made Misiorowski the first pitcher to reach 100 strikeouts in 2026. He's posted an incredible 49:6 K:BB across 31.1 innings this month, while allowing just one run on 11 hits. One would be hard-pressed to find a starter better than Misiorowski through the first two months of the season. On the year, he owns a microscopic 1.83 ERA and 100:19 K:BB across 64 innings. Misiorowski is in the 98th percentile or better in fastball velocity (99.7 mph), whiff rate (39 percent) and strikeout rate (39.3 percent).
