We may be seeing the beginning of Jimmy Nelson's emergence as a strong starter for the Brewers now. In last night's game, he pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one unearned run on three hits and a walk while striking out four. Nelson has not allowed an earned run in his last three starts covering 20 2/3 innings and has lowered his ERA to 3.57. In the last 30 days, he has a 0.79 ERA, 2.50 FIP, 8.21 K/9, has not allowed a home run, and leads the pitching staff with a 1.1 fWAR.
The Brewers also backed Nelson up with some offense in the game.
