Milwaukee had lost their last eight games going into Sunday’s matchup against the Nationals, and was finally able to break the streak, winning their first game in nearly two weeks. The rest of the NL Central has also been struggling mightily during this time too, which still seats the Brewers at the top, even though they had dropped their last eight.

Regardless of where he pitches going forward, he has proven through three appearances that he has what it takes to pitch in the major leagues.
