With the Brewers starting rotation ailing, Colin Rea returned to the rotation and made an immediate impact. He pitched 5 1⁄3 scoreless innings to lead a shutout by the pitching staff, and the Brewers offense backed them up in a 6-0 win over the Astros.
Rea earned his first major league win since 2016 in the start today. He allowed just four hits and two walks while striking out four. It gave the Brewers some much needed scoreless inning, and the bullpen kept the Astros off the board from there. Joel Payamps finished the sixth with two strikeouts.
