The Milwaukee Brewers shut out the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 behind a historic performance from Jacob Misiorowski while Yordan Alvarez went deep twice in the Houston Astros' 10-8 win over the Kansas City Royals. Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers activated Tarik Skubal from the injured list for a crucial AL Central matchup against the Cleveland Guardians.
Jacob Misiorowski continued his dominant season with a near-perfect game against the Phillies. The Brewers right-hander faced the minimum 27 batters, striking out 15 and throwing 58 pitches at or above 100 mph. Kyle Schwarber’s fourth-inning single was the only blemish on Misiorowski’s line, which he erased with a quick double play. The outing brought his ERA to 1.34 over 87 innings this season.
Yordan Alvarez continued his historic pace at the plate, going 3-for-5 with two home runs and six RBIs in the first inning of the Astros’ win. His 24th and 25th homers of the season tied him with Schwarber for the MLB lead, and he became the first player in Astros history to record six RBIs in a single inning. Alvarez is hitting .321/.433/.659 with 24 home runs in 305 plate appearances.
The Tigers welcomed back Tarik Skubal for the first time since April 29. The two-time AL Cy Young Award winner is set to make his return against the Guardians after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. Skubal’s recovery was accelerated by the use of a new “NanoNeedle” scope, cutting weeks off his expected timeline. The Tigers are 7-3 in June and now have both Skubal and Casey Mize available after their returns from the IL.
The Marlins remain one of the hottest teams in the majors with a six-game winning streak, returning them to a .500 record at 35-35. Sandy Alcantara recorded his 1000th career strikeout in Friday’s win, with 992 of those punchouts coming in a Marlins uniform. He now trails Ricky Nolasco by just nine strikeouts for the franchise record.
Detroit will host Cleveland in a pivotal AL Central battle on Saturday. Milwaukee and Philadelphia will rematch, while Houston looks to extend its momentum against Kansas City.
The Milwaukee Brewers placed right-hander Coleman Crow on the 15-day injured list on Friday due to a right forearm flexor strain. The move is retroactive to June 10, and Craig Yoho was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to fill the roster spot.
