Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski left Game 5 of the 2026 World Series early due to a calf cramp but remained the pitcher of record as the Brewers clinched the championship.
Misiorowski, the team's ace, was removed from the title-clinching contest after experiencing the cramp. Despite the abbreviated outing, he was credited with the victory as Milwaukee secured the World Series crown.
The right-hander's departure marked a tense moment in the decisive game, though the Brewers' bullpen and offense ultimately closed out the series win.
