Trevor Williams was long overdue for a tough inning, which came in the first inning of his last start against St. Louis.
Williams gave up four runs in that inning but still hung on to finish five without allowing any more damage. Prior to that, he had given up four runs in his last nine starts, which covered nearly fifty innings.
That long run lowered his ERA from 4.60 to 3.15. The fact that he held Milwaukee after that rough first gives me reason to believe he's still feeling good about the way he's throwing the ball. You have to consider him one of the tougher starters to beat in baseball right now, the way he's going.
Milwaukee continued to roll on Friday night in an opening victory. The Brewers have won seven series in a row after dropping two out of three against St. Louis way back about a month ago. They are on a fast track to making it eight.
Jhoulys Chacin has been a workhorse in his career, yet he has never thrown 200 innings in a season. He's been close a number of times and he's going to come up just short again in 2018.
Chacin will start his 32nd game on Sunday, which will be a new career-high (and leads the league) but he is twenty-seven innings away from 200 with, at most, three outings left, including this one.
