Ben Brown gave up three runs and seven hits in five innings Tuesday in a loss to the Brewers.

Brown struck out six and generated 15 whiffs on 42 swings tonight, but he allowed seven hits and nine hard-hit balls. Still, that’s not a disaster. Brown got up to 82 pitches tonight after throwing 46 and 65 in his first two starts, both of which saw him pitch four scoreless innings. This would be a good time to pick him up in leagues in which he’s still available, as he has a two-start week against the Pirates and Cardinals coming up.
