After a dominating Game 1 win in the NLDS, most expected Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy to name either Quinn Priester or José Quintana as the starter for their Game 2 match-up with the Chicago Cubs.
The Brewers' skipper threw a wrench in those plans when he announced that reliever Aaron Ashby would be making the start instead as a designated opener.
Ashby, who threw 1.1 innings against the Cubs in Game 1 of the series, is a good matchup for the top of the Cubs' order, which features the likes of left-handed sluggers Michael Busch and Kyle Tucker (not to mention Ian Happ, a switch-hitter who has been better from the left side during his career).
