PITTSBURGH — Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Zach Davies takes a gaudy 11-4 record into his Wednesday start against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.
His ERA is eye-popping, as well, but not in a good way. It stands at 5.08. However, the Brewers have averaged 7.8 runs in Davies’ 19 starts, the most for any starter in the majors.
“I like when Zach pitches, because we score a lot of runs,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. “That’s the first thing. That’s the best part about it, that I feel like it’s a good day for our offense.”
Davies might need a great day from his offense Wednesday.
