Hunter Brown worked seven scoreless innings while striking out nine to pick up a win in the Astros’ 7-0 win over the Blue Jays on Monday.
Brown allowed just two hits in the contest with one walk, and he generated 12 swings-and-misses in a sensational effort. Both hits were singles, and he rarely dealt with trouble while firing 96 pitches. The 26-year-old right-hander has not allowed a run in his last three starts, and he has lowered his ERA from 3.00 to 1.16 in the process. Brown is quickly working his way into the fantasy ace conversation. He’ll get the Royals on Sunday.
Hunter Brown struck out four batters over six shutout innings in a win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.
Brown worked around a pair of walks in a 26-pitch first inning. He then induced ground ball double plays to strand runners in the second and third. Brown had his best inning in the fifth, striking out the side for his first clean frame. He retired all three batters in the next inning to complete six shutout while striking out four. The 26-year-old right-hander has gotten off to an incredible start, posting a 1.50 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and a 22/5 K/BB ratio across 24 innings. He’ll take on the Blue Jays in Houston on Monday.
Hunter Brown didn’t get a decision despite allowing no runs in six innings against the Mariners on Wednesday.
Brown was able to strike out three and allowed just two hits. He left with a 4-0 lead, but the Astros’ bullpen melted down; preventing him from picking up the win. It’s still an encouraging start and then some for Brown, and his ERA drops to 2.00 with the six scoreless frames. He’ll go again Tuesday against the Cardinals.
Hunter Brown was in dominant form during Thursday’s victory over the Twins, piling up eight strikeouts over six innings of two-run baseball.
Brown scattered five hits on the afternoon and didn’t walk a batter. All of the scoring that was done against him came in the opening inning as Carlos Correa plated a run with a groundout and Trevor Larnach added an RBI single. He settled in beautifully after that though and the Twins never really threatened against him the rest of the way. The 26-year-old hurler generated 14 swings and misses on 91 pitches on the day — seven on his fastball which averaged 97.6 mph — while registering a strong CSW of 35 percent. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a 15/3 K/BB ratio into Wednesday’s showdown against the Mariners in Seattle.
