Eric Lauer To Start Game 4 For Brewers
3 years agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Eric Lauer will be the team's starter for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. The Brewers are down 2-1 in the series and facing elimination in Tuesday's road game. Lauer had a strong season for the team, making 24 appearances (20 starts) and going 7-5 with a 3.19 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. He has yet to pitch this postseason and he struggled in his last outing of the regular season. Facing the Los Angeles Dodgers on October 1, he pitched five innings and allowed six hits, two walks and five earned runs while striking out three. He will likely be on a short leash on Tuesday. Corbin Burnes lines up to start Game 5 if necessary. There has been no suggestion that Burnes could be used out of the bullpen in Game 4 despite the game being a must-win for the Brew Crew.
