The Dodgers could do little to pressure Brewers pitching phenom Jacob Misiorowski, falling 3-1 in Milwaukee on Tuesday. It was the Dodgers' fifth straight loss.

The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-1 at American Family Field in Milwaukee on Monday. The Brewers' Andrew Vaughn hit a three-run home run, while Freddy Peralta pitched six shoutout innings.

After being dismissive when asked about Misiorowski ahead of Tuesday’s game, Kershaw praises the hard-throwing Brewers right-hander’s performance against the Dodgers.

Hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski recovered from a leadoff home run by Shohei Ohtani to toss six dominant innings and the Milwaukee Brewers held on for a 3-1 victory Tuesday over the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers,

When asked about Misiorowski, this is what Kershaw told beat reporter Bill Plunkett: “I don’t even know who I’m pitching against. (Miz) Is that the guy who twisted his ankle on the mound. The ‘Twisted-His-Ankle’ guy. I know he throws hard. I saw a couple highlights. He throws hard. But so does everybody. Except me.”
