On May 17th, Astros’ RHP Hunter Brown made a start against the Milwaukee Brewers where he went five innings, giving up four runs on four hits, two of which were home runs. This was his ninth start of the year and put his season's ERA at 7.71. While this was not the highest his ERA was during the season, but it was still not good, especially in a rotation that has had to deal with so much injury like the Astros.
Brown was a 5-pitch pitcher. He had his primary pitch, his 4-seam fastball, which he used 44.
