Jacob Misiorowski was scheduled to oppose fellow ace Paul Skenes and the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon, but the hard-throwing Milwaukee Brewers right-hander was scratched due to arm fatigue and will also miss the All-Star Game on Tuesday night.

Misiorowski, 24, told reporters that he will not be placed on the injured list and expects to rejoin the rotation following the All-Star break.

“It (stinks) to miss a start and the All-Star Game, but I know it’s the right thing to do in this situation,” Misiorowski said. “My arm is a little tired.”

Left-hander Robert Gasser will start in Misiorowski’s place Sunday as the Brewers try to salvage the finale of the three-game series.

Named an All-Star for the second straight season, Misiorowski is 10-4 in 18 starts, spanning 111 innings, and leads the majors with 167 strikeouts and a 1.62 ERA while walking 27. In two seasons, he is 15-7 with a 2.64 ERA in 33 games (32 starts) with 254 strikeouts and 58 walks over 177 innings.

Misiorowski leads all starting pitchers this season with a 100.5 mph average four-seam fastball velocity, and he has thrown 670 pitches at 100 mph or faster — the most in the majors.

Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy made the announcement regarding Misiorowski’s status after Saturday’s doubleheader sweep by the Pirates.

“He didn’t recover well from his last start, and his throwing program was clunky today, so we’re just going to give him some extra rest,” Murphy said.

A’ja Wilson recorded 21 points and 15 rebounds and the Las Vegas Aces notched the largest margin of victory in franchise history by steamrolling the visiting Phoenix Mercury 106-58 on Saturday.

Backup Justine Pissott scored 19 points in the final quarter on 7-of-8 shooting, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range, for the Aces (17-6). Pissott was making her WNBA debut after signing with Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Chelsea Gray registered 15 points and 12 assists and reserve Cheyenne Parker-Tyus added 15 points and seven rebounds for Las Vegas. NaLyssa Smith chipped in 14 points for the Aces, who held a 47-29 rebounding advantage.

The 48-point margin of victory topped a 42-point win by the then-San Antonio Silver Stars, who drubbed the Mercury 89-47 in 2012. The franchise moved to Las Vegas ahead of the 2018 season.

Monique Akoa Makani scored 13 points and Lexi Held had 11 off the bench for Phoenix (8-16), which lost its third straight game.

The Aces shot 50.6% from the field, including 14 of 35 from 3-point range, while winning their second straight game.

Phoenix connected on 34.8% of its shots and was just 7 of 31 from behind the arc.

Earlier this season, the Mercury routed the Aces 99-66 in Las Vegas.

This time, the Aces controlled the game from the outset by scoring the first nine points and 16 of the initial 18.

Gray ended the first quarter with back-to-back 3-pointers, giving the Aces a 29-9 lead.

The lead reached 30 on Jewell Loyd’s 3-pointer that pushed the score to 48-18 with 3:04 remaining in the first half.

Las Vegas later led by 37 before settling for a 57-22 halftime advantage. Wilson had 16 points and 11 rebounds in the half.

A turnaround basket by Smith gave Las Vegas a 70-29 edge with 4:42 left in the third quarter.

The margin was 45 late in the period before the Aces took a 79-36 lead into the final stanza.

Pissott scored all the points during an 8-0 Las Vegas run as the lead grew to a game-high 54 with 6:48 remaining.

Lucas Glover hangs onto narrow lead at ISCO

Lucas Glover shot a 2-under-par 68 Saturday to remain in first place at the ISCO Championship at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Ky.

Glover shot his worst round of the tournament after carding a 63 and 64 on Friday and Saturday, respectively. But his day still left him two strokes under par, 15 under for the tournament and featured an eagle and two birdies. More importantly, he held onto the lead he has now maintained through three rounds.

“it means you’re doing something right so you’ve got something to lean on there,” Glover said. “Just whatever you’re doing right, keep doing it.”

The 46-year-old stepped up to the par-5, 566-yard seventh a stroke over par. But his first two shots left him within a few feet of the hole, and he calmly sank the putt for an eagle that put him back on track for another stellar round.

Glover credited his drive for the eagle.

“That’s kind of a hard tee shot for me … with the fairway running left to right and the creek on the right, but hit a nice one there.”

Birdies on Holes 10 and 12 ensured another good day and another lead for the pro seeking his first win of the 2026 season. A win would be his seventh on the PGA Tour overall.

Aaron Wise made up two shots on the leader on Saturday, firing a 4-under 66 to get to within a shot of the pole position. Wise had six birdies on the day.

Interestingly, one of his two bogeys came on the seventh, the same hole Glover had his greatest success.

“Just kind of had to keep hanging in there because the score wasn’t showing it, it was just little things here or there,” Wise admitted. “But I look at tomorrow more as whatever happens, it’s just going to be a learning experience.”

Wise and Glover figure to have plenty of competition on Sunday.

Three golfers are tied for third at 13 under, among them Germany’s Stephan Jaeger, who carded a 5-under 65, one of the better rounds of the day. He balanced six birdies against a solitary bogey.

He’s joined by Steven Fisk and Chan Kim, who shot matching 68s on Saturday.

Zac Blair (64) and Tom Hoge (65) are tied for sixth at 12 under.

Rounding out the top ten at 11 under are four golfers: Canada’s Ben Silverman (64), Puerto Rico’s Rafael Campos (66), Canada’s Taylor Pendrith (66) and William Mouw (68).

J.T. Realmuto had a two-run double, All-Star Cristopher Sanchez tossed seven-plus strong innings, and the visiting Philadelphia Phillies ended the Detroit Tigers’ six-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory on Saturday.

Sanchez (11-4) allowed two runs and 10 hits while striking out seven. Sanchez bounced back from his worst outing of the season when he surrendered nine runs to Kansas City on Monday. Jhoan Duran recorded his 24th save with a perfect ninth.

Eduardo Valencia homered for Detroit. Casey Mize (4-6) gave up all four runs (three earned) on five hits in 5 2/3 innings.

An error allowed the Phillies to take the lead in the third. Third baseman Kevin McGonigle made a throwing error on a Derek Hill grounder. Hill then stole second and third base before Trea Turner knocked him in with a sacrifice fly.

Detroit had two baserunners with two outs in the bottom of the inning. Ben Malgeri reached on an infield single before Hill, playing center field, robbed Zach McKinstry of an extra base hit with a diving grab. Matt Vierling followed with a single but Sanchez escaped the jam by striking out McGonigle. Philadelphia then extended its lead in the fourth.

Brandon Marsh drew a leadoff walk, and Bryson Stott had a one-out single. Realmuto then took advantage of a hanging slider and drove in both runners with a double to left. Realmuto scored one out later on a Hill single.

Valencia put the Tigers on the board in the fifth with his second homer in three games since being called up from Triple-A Toledo to make his major league debut on Thursday. Singles by Hao-Yu Lee and Vierling put runners on the corners with two outs. McGonigle then flied out to left-center.

Detroit had another threat in the seventh after back-to-back leadoff singles by Valencia and Lee. Sanchez then struck out Malgeri before inducing McKinstry to bounce into a double play.

Sanchez departed after Vierling drew a walk and McGonigle singled in the eighth. Dillon Dingler was hit by a Jonathan Bowlan pitch to load the bases. Spencer Torkelson bounced into a double play as Vierling scored, making the score 4-2. After Riley Greene walked, Valencia grounded out to end the inning.

The Tigers finished 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position, stranding seven.
