4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (1-2) took the loss in Thursday's loss to Minnesota, throwing five innings and allowing two runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three. Woodruff retired the first six batters he faced but ran into trouble in the third inning. He gave up six hits between the fourth and fifth frames but managed to escape without yielding any additional run thanks to an outfield assist and a double play. Collectively, Woodruff allowed a season-high in hits (nine) while tallying a season-low three strikeouts and failing to get through six innings for the third straight start. He'll look to rebound in a home appearance against Cincinnati on Tuesday. He's been underachieving as of late and is a possible buy-low candidate if fantasy owners are looking to add depth to their pitching staff. Woodruff has not received much in terms of run support, but that should change.--James Stokke
