Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski took a no-hitter into the sixth inning against the Washington Nationals but left the game with a right hamstring cramp.
After throwing a 98.9 mph swinging strike one to James Wood with one out, Misiorowski looked into the dugout. Manager Pat Murphy and trainer Brad Epstein came out, and Misiorowski left the game.
The right-hander was in the midst of a dominant effort, having struck out eight and walked two. He retired the last 12 batters he faced, the final four by strikeout.
Aaron Ashby came on with Milwaukee leading 4-0, struck out Wood and got Luis Garcia Jr. to ground out, extending a combined no-hitter to six innings.
After Ashby returned for the seventh, Washington’s CJ Abrams drew a one-out walk and Daylen Lile broke up the no-hitter with a double to left. Brady House drove in Abrams with a groundout to put the Nationals on the board.
The Brewers went on to win 6-1, with Misiorowski, Ashby and Easton McGee combining on a two-hitter. Misiorowski earned the decision and improved to 2-2.
Misiorowski, 24, leads the majors with 59 strikeouts. He has a 2.84 ERA through seven starts this year.
