Brewers rumors: GM doesn’t shut down Aaron Ashby starting pitcher idea
The Milwaukee Brewers are on MLB’s mountaintop after finally getting their breakthrough — winning the first World Series title in franchise history after a hard-fought five-game series against another franchise that hadn’t yet won a World Series in the Tampa Bay Rays. A big part of the Brewers’ run to the title was the play of relief pitcher Aaron Ashby, who was incredible all postseason long.
Ashby emerged as Brewers manager Pat Murphy’s most trusted reliever, and for good reason. In nine postseason appearances (18 innings), he did not allow a single run. In fact, he only allowed eight baserunners, and his presence was as close to a guarantee of victory as it got.
