As he did so often down the stretch in his rookie season, Harry Lyerly comes in a throws a gem when the Brewers need it most- having lost 3 straight coming into the final game of a series with the Phoenix Speed Devils.
Lyerly tossed 8 innings of 6-hit ball, allowing just 1 run while striking out 8 and walking 2. Amazingly enough, with his reputation of allowing the long ball, he allowed no HR's to the top HR hitting team in the league. (In fact, thus far Lyerly's HR/9 IP rate is a respectable 0.7.) Lyerly also walked his first time up and singled up the middle in his second plate appearance (he would score the go-ahead run, which proved to be the game winner.)
