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 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.
