'People love playing behind him': Colin Rea sets the tone for the Brewers

ATLANTA – There are plenty of numbers that help underscore the type of season Colin Rea has had thus far for the Milwaukee Brewers.

But probably none more than the 14-5 record his team has generated in his starts, the latest a 10-0 shutout of the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on Tuesday night.

Rea tied a season high by going seven innings and a career high with nine strikeouts in becoming the first pitcher on the team to reach double digits in victories, an achievement probably very few thought likely when he signed a one-year, $4.
