Alex Claudio has pitched in 66 games this season and leads the team in pitching appearances. Matt Albers is only Milwaukee Brewers pitcher close to Claudio and he is 12 appearances behind him. In his last ten appearances he has only given up two runs and both of those runs came during one outing against the Cubs on August 4th. During that ten game stretch, he has only given up six hits. In addition, Claudio has not given up a run in his last seven appearances.
What do the numbers say about Claudio?
Even though Claudio was not brought in to be a lefty specialist, he has sort of grown into that important role due to his success against lefties and his struggles with right-handed hitters.
