    Jason Alexander Makes Brewers History

    Jason Alexander pitched 4.2 innings of one-run ball to help the Brewers defeat the Nationals.
    Jason Alexander’s 2.16 after his first three Major League starts is the third lowest in Brewers history.

    Rookie starter Jason Alexander made his third start of the season for the Milwaukee Brewers. While he did not get his first Major League win, he did enough to limit the Washington Nationals. Alexander pitched 4.2 innings allowing seven hits, three walks, one run, and two strikeouts. He lowered his ERA to 2.16. This mark is the third lowest in team history after a pitcher’s first three starts to start out their career:

    Andrew McCutchen Continues His Tear

    After going through a 1-40 slump, Andrew McCutchen has been a hitting machine for the Brewers. Today, McCutchen went 1-4 with a home run, his fourth of the season.

    His was a no-doubter, according to the Twitter page “Would It Dong?”:

    After seeing his batting average dip all the way down to .205, McCutchen is now hitting .233/.286/.317 on the season. Over his last six games, he is hitting .434 at the plate.

    The Bullpen Looked Sharp

    The Milwaukee Brewers had lost eight games in a row. While some of the losses were due to poor offense, there were some definite struggles from the pitching staff as well. That was not true today, though, as four Brewers relievers combined to allow just one hit and no runs in 4.1 innings of work:

    • Hoby Milner: 1.1 innings pitched, one hit, one strikeout (earned the win)
    • Brad Boxberger: One inning pitched, no hits, two strikeouts
    • Devin Williams: One inning pitched, no hits, one walk, no strikeouts
    • Josh Hader: One inning pitched, no hits, three strikeouts (earned the save)

    Game Notes

    • Luis Urias left the game in the fifth inning with right hamstring tightness
    • Omar Narvaez continued his hot streak at the plate going 2-4; he is now hitting .283/.372/.416
    • Tyrone Taylor was 2-3 with a run scored
    • Christian Yelich was 1-4 with a run scored as the Brewers’ leadoff hitter
    • Rowdy Tellez was 1-4

    Up Next

    The Milwaukee Brewers have an off-day on Monday before heading to New York to play the Mets. Adrian Houser (3-6, 3.92 ERA) will pitch for Milwaukee against Chris Bassitt (4-4, 4.35 ERA) of the Mets.
