Michael Fiers couldn't have been much better in his first major league start tonight, holding the Dodgers to a single run and needing just 89 pitches to complete seven innings. Brewer starting pitchers have completed seven or more innings 15 times this season, but Fiers is the first to do it in under 90 pitches and only the third in under 100:
Pitcher | Date | Opponent | IP | Pitches |
Michael Fiers | May 29 | Dodgers | 7 | 89 |
Zack Greinke | April 7 | Cardinals | 7 | 91 |
Yovani Gallardo | April 17 | Dodgers | 7 | 97 |
However, Fiers' outing tonight was nowhere near a Brewer franchise record. Since pitch counts became an official stat the Brewers have had six pitchers complete at least seven innings while throwing less than 75 pitches. One of them even worked eight innings:
Pitcher | Date | Opponent | IP | Pitches |
Chris Capuano | August 11, 2006 | Braves | 7 | 68 |
Dave Bush | August 16, 2008 | Dodgers | 7 | 71 |
Chris Bosio | September 14, 1992 | Red Sox | 8 | 71 |
Chris Bosio | July 16, 1991 | Twins | 7 | 72 |
Jose Mercedes | July 29, 1997 | Blue Jays | 7 | 73 |
Steve Woodard | September 24, 1998 | Dodgers | 7 | 74 |
