The left-hander was in danger of losing his spot in the rotation after posting a 10.26 ERA in his first four starts. He threw a new cutter against the Brewers.
“Credit to him,” Nevin said. “It’s hard to take your lumps like that for several starts, and I know he hears everything. did a heck of a job with him this week. I was down there watching him. He made some adjustments with some things. I’m proud of him. He pitched his butt off today.”
“I thought his changeup was great,” catcher Matt Thaiss said. “It led to a lot of key outs today. When he has conviction in that pitch along with his fastball he’s one of our best guys. It was great to see.”
