The Milwaukee Brewers had a stellar performance from their starting pitcher, Wade Miley, as they shut out the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 on Monday night. Miley pitched six strong innings, allowing just two hits and no runs while striking out four batters. He was backed up by three relievers who combined to shut down the Reds for the remainder of the game.
The Brewers got on the board in the top of the fourth inning when Ryan Braun hit a solo home run off Reds starter Tyler Mahle. That was all the offense the Brewers needed as Miley and the relievers took care of the rest.
Miley was in control throughout his outing, throwing 64 of his 96 pitches for strikes. He was able to keep the Reds off balance with his mix of fastballs, sliders, and changeups. He also induced seven ground ball outs, which helped him get out of some tough spots.
After Miley exited the game, the Brewers bullpen took over and kept the Reds off the board. Alex Claudio, Junior Guerra, and Josh Hader combined to pitch three scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out four batters.
The Brewers’ pitching staff was dominant in this one, and it was led by Miley’s six strong innings.
