The last three games have been dominated by the Milwaukee Brewers starting pitching. Junior Guerra outdueled Mets ace Jacob Degrom in New York, the next day Chase Anderson continued his dominance from his last near no-hitter against the Diamondbacks as he beat Zach Wheeler the following day.
The surging Brewers needed yet another great outing by Jimmy Nelson in the series opener against the Dodgers.
The team could not have asked for more out of Nelson. He threw the game of his life. Friday night’s effort was easily the most efficient he has pitched in a Major League game.
