Did Hunter Brown do THAT?
I think he just put MLB on notice that there’s another ace pitcher in town. He held the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays scoreless for seven innings, allowing only two hits, two walks, while striking out eight.
He threw 62 out of 95 pitches for strikes and seemed to be hitting corners at will. The Rays never put a runner in scoring position against Brown (or all night).

Meanwhile, the Rays pitching was none too shabby either.
