Last night, the Brewers bullpen did the heavy lifting, going six innings of work while allowing just one run. With six arms used in the win, it would important to get a strong outing out of Brandon Woodruff and allow for the bullpen to get some rest during this stretch run.
Woodruff delivered. The right-hander gave the Brewers of eight innings of one-run baseball, striking out 10 en route to a 4-1 victory over the Yankees.
Woodruff’s fastball was as electric as it had been all season. He opened the game with a pair of strikeouts in each of the first three innings, three of which flew the fastball by for strike three.
