Robert Gasser stepped off a plane after being recalled from Triple-A and join the Milwaukee Brewers' pitching rotation. Gasser was pouring gas into home plate against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee.
What's worse? Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb was throwing no-hit ball. Webb simply dominated Brewers hitters and helped the Giants pick up a 1-0 win over the Brewers.
San Francisco is not having a great season, while Milwaukee is dominating the National League Central Division. Having the Giants get a win and keep the Brewers totally shut down in scoring was quite a feat.
Let's get to the Brewers' big actions on Wednesday night. Jackson Chourio hit a single in the bottom of the eighth inning. He led off for Milwaukee and his hit shut down Webb and his no-hit bid. Webb got the win, though, and is now 3-4 this season. He worked seven hits, no earned runs, that one hit, walked one, and struck out four.
Erik Miller came on and gave up one hit and walked one. After Giants manager Tony Vitello chose to remove Miller from the game, he brought in Keaton Winn. Winn coaxed Brewers catcher Gary Sanchez to ground into an inning-ending double play, which probably didn't sit well with Brewers manager Pat Murphy.
Winn earned his first save this season, pitching a very effective 1.2 innings for San Francisco. He gave up one hit and struck out one.
Now, how did the Giants score their only run?
Victor Bericoto hit his first home run this season, slamming it over the right-center field wall. That put San Francisco up 1-0 and, well, that was all the offense needed on Wednesday night.
With the final score being 1-0, Brewers fans might not think either team had a bunch of runners on base at American Family Field.
The data, though, tells a different story. The Brewers were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and left four runners on base. As for San Francisco, it was 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and ended up leaving nine runners on base.
The Brewers do have a bunch of mashers up and down their lineup. Look for the Brewers' offense to break out in a big way on Thursday.
Gasser relies on five different pitches, according to Baseball Savant. Those five pitches are a sinker, sweeper, cutter, four-seam fastball, and a changeup.
The Brewers hope that Gasser can maintain that level of pitching that he showed on Wednesday night. The Brewers and Giants will play one more game on Thursday, then the Brew Crew heads out to start a Western states road trip.
