They didn't pound the ball, but a pesky second inning for the Brewers put four runs on the scoreboard against Paul Skenes.

Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski and Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes didn’t need to throw as many as 80 pitches to set new standards for velocity on Wednesday in the first matchup between these 23-year-old flamethrowers.

If Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was intimidated by the prospect of going head-to-head with Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes, the rookie didn't show it. Misiorowski out-dueled the Pirates' star Wednesday in just his third major-league start during a 4-2 Brewers victory.
