3 years agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser allowed three unearned runs on five hits, four walks, and a hit-by-pitch with six strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings against Cincinnati on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision. The right-hander was not efficient throughout the first four innings, but he was able to escape with no damage. In the fifth, an error, a fielder's choice, and two walks loaded the bases before Houser was relieved by Jake Cousins, who then allowed two runs to score on a wild pitch. Cousins also gave up an RBI single to tack a third run on Houser's line, although none of them were earned. The 28-year-old starter finished the first half with a 3.74 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 71:38 K: BB through 86 2/3 innings. Houser will continue to be a streaming candidate after the break.--James Stokke
