Milwaukee Breweries Rookie Tobias Myers was dominant against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday, July 10, when he pitched eight shutout innings, allowed just four hits, walked one and struck out six strikeouts. There was one exception to those statistics, and it was the result of his impeccable control.
Let’s take a closer look at the six strikeouts Tobias Myers had against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
In that game, Tobias Myers recorded six strikeouts, in which all six opposing Pirates players went looking. The six strikeouts were a result of his consistent scoring of the corners, and after the game, Myers pointed out that catcher William Contreras noticed how well he controlled the ball low and out that night. Before Tuesday’s game, the most strikeouts in a game by a Brewers pitcher this year was three.
Tobias Myers now has two appearances consisting of eight shutout innings.
Tobias Myers has looked like a completely different pitcher since returning to the Majors in early June. He threw eight shutout innings against the Detroit Tigers on June 7, and his six starts since then have been excellent, including another eight scoreless innings against the Pirates. He has a 1.79 ERA over his last seven starts.
The last time a Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher had more than one eight-inning shutout appearance was 2013.
According to research by Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the last time a Brewers starting pitcher had more than one outing with eight shutout innings was in 2013, when Wily Peralta did it.
