Good pitching day, after a bit of a yawner yesterday.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Luis Devers going today after 8 days off.

[Hrubes20]

Brown just struck out the side in the 3rd (the top of the order) and has 7 Ks through 3.  More importantly is that he hasn't walked anyone.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Devers successfully got out of the first this time (and second and third and fourth): 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K

[Hrubes20]

Brown picks up 2 more Ks in the 4th.  Up to 9.

Brown continues his dominance! with a 1-2-3 top half of the 5th! with a K, and 2 GOs!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

15 whiffs for Brown through 5

[sneakypower]

likely final line

[Hrubes20]

He can be so dang good when he’s throwing strikes like that.

We could sure use some more swing and miss at the big league level. 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Arias: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 10 K

Man has Arias been hot. On his pitch count, sequencing 3-straight 5-inning games is impressive.  

He threw a lot of strikes tonight.
