Josh Hader and the Milwaukee Brewers may make us change how we think about pitching

The Milwaukee Brewers won their 80th game of the season last night, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 3-0 on the road at PNC Park. Brent Suter got the start for Milwaukee, tossing the first five innings before giving way to the bullpen. Four relievers - Jeremy Jeffress, Josh Hader, Anthony Swarzak, and Corey Knebel - combined to finish off the final four innings of the shutout victory.

Of particular note was Hader’s performance: five batter faced, three strikeouts, and one hit allowed that was erased when the plodding Elias Diaz was thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple.
