Brewers' Priester Shuts Out Dodgers with Rare 10-K, 0-BB Outing
19 Jul
Summary
- Brewers pitcher Quinn Priester's 10-strikeout, no-walk outing against Dodgers
- Priester's excellent season, now 8-2 with 3.33 ERA
- Boston Red Sox traded Priester earlier this season, now regretting it
The Milwaukee Brewers stayed red-hot on Friday, exiting the All-Star break with a 2-0 shutout win against the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The Brewers moved to 57-40 on the season, just one game back of the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central.
Right-hander Quinn Priester continued his excellent season, going six shutout innings while striking out 10 batters and walking none. Priester's outing was a rare feat against the powerful Dodgers lineup, as he became the first pitcher to record 10+ strikeouts and no walks in a game against Los Angeles since Eury Perez on August 19, 2023.
Priester's dominant performance could certainly make the Boston Red Sox regret their decision to trade him earlier this season. The Red Sox dealt Priester, who is now 8-2 with a 3.33 ERA, to the Brewers in April as Milwaukee dealt with early-season rotation issues. Boston, currently tied for the second wild card position in the American League, could certainly use a pitcher of Priester's caliber as they push for the playoffs.
