In his first start since going on the injured list, Brandon Woodruff didn’t appear to miss a beat. If anything, Woodruff, who entered Tuesday with a 4.74 ERA and 1.237 WHIP, looked more like his 2021 self than his 2022 self. He put in a strong 5 innings, striking out 10 for the second time this season while allowing just one run. Woodruff’s start along with a big 6th inning was enough for the Brewers to defeat the Rays, 5-3.
Woodruff was off and running right out of the gate, setting down the side in order on two strikeouts in the 1st.
