After the shellacking the Brewers received at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates in game 1 of today’s double-header, Milwaukee was looking for a better outcome in game 2. They certainly got it. Brewers’ pitching was outstanding in this one as they shutout the Pirates 6-0.
Aaron Ashby got the start tonight, and he was good. He covered 4 innings and struck out 4 without walking a batter. His defense didn’t let him down either.
After Ashby left, the bullpen took over. Brad Boxberger, Devin Williams, and Hunter Strickland covered the next three innings and gave up just one hit between them.
