Since that roughing-up at the hands of Chicago, one that raised questions of if Milwaukee would demote him and just what, exactly, it was doing giving up a valuable prospect and high draft pick for him, Priester has pitched to a 2.23 earned run average and 0.970 WHIP, 5.6% walk rate and 60% ground-ball percentage.

After his outing on May 2, in which he allowed seven runs on six hits and four walks across 4 1/3 innings, Quinn Priester’s ERA sat at 5.79. It was the second consecutive tough outing for Priester, but Brewers skipper Pat Murphy backed the 24-year-old righty.

Trevor Megill pitched out of a jam in the ninth inning as the Brewers took three of four games from the Cardinals.
