CINCINNATI -- On one hand, it was Class A ball, and if Zach Davies really is healthy and ready to rejoin the Brewers for a pennant race after missing most of this season with shoulder and back ailments, he should have success against hitters who are years away from the big leagues. Davies certainly did that on Monday night, when he carved through all nine innings on just 85 pitches in a shutout victory for the Brewers' Midwest League affiliate.
On the other hand, it was Class A ball, where many a Major League pitcher has found trouble in spot starts.
