ST. LOUIS -- Tyler Cravy did his part. Now his bosses must decide what's next.
Cravy allowed only one run and four hits in seven innings of Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, the deepest a Brewers pitcher has worked into a Major League debut since Steve Woodard outdueled Roger Clemens for eight innings on July 28, 1997. Cravy was a 7-year-old in California that day.
His outing was valuable for a Brewers team that had not gotten seven innings from a starting pitcher since Jimmy Nelson worked through the end of the eighth on May 19 -- 13 games earlier.
