Danny Duffy (1-1, 5.40) vs. Justin Verlander (1-2, 3.46)

Game #19 – April 18 – American Family Field
Charlotte loaded the bases on 2 hits and a walk in the 1st inning but failed to score. That was the best chance they would have as Justin Verlander retired 12 men in a row before surrendering a single to Jose Iglesias in the 5th.
Mitch Garver hit a 2 run home run in the 2nd which just stayed inside the LF foul pole. Luis Urias belted a 2-run shot in the 3rd to make it 4-0. The next batter, Hunter Renfroe, also deposited a Danny Duffy pitch into the LF stands. C. J. Cron led off the 4th with yet another homer to left, and Ricky Devito was called to relieve Duffy. DeVito gave up a run in 2 innings of work.
Verlander was dominant but left the game with an apparent injury in the 7th. Milwaukee pitchers held Charlotte to just 3 hits while walking 1, striking out 16 batters.
Final Score: Milwaukee 7, Charlotte 0
WP: J. Verlander (2-2)
LP: D. Duffy (1-2)
Record: 10-9
Player of the Game: Justin Verlander
News: St. Louis RP Ryan Helsey will miss the rest of the season with a ruptured disc.
