That didn’t take long.
Shortly after it was reported the Brewers were hoping to make multiple trades before this year’s deadline to help out a hurting pitching staff, David Stearns made his first move — reportedly bringing Jordan Lyles back to Milwaukee in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Lyles got off to a very good start in the Pirates’ rotation with a 3.68 ERA through June 8th before getting hurt and having a very rough month of July. He’s allowed 7 earned runs twice against the Cubs since returning and only lasted 1.
