Top Pitching Performance of the Week

Nobody had a flashy performance this week, but Brandon Woodruff did a great job keeping Milwaukee in both of his starts this week. He went six innings in outings against the Mariners and Marlins, allowing no runs and striking out five against Seattle before allowing two runs and striking out six against Miami. That puts his ERA at 2.01 through four starts this year, as he now has 29 strikeouts across 22 ¹⁄₃ innings.

Top Hitting Performance of the Week

How about Jackson Chourio extending his hitting streak to 20 games? He went 11-for-24 across six games this week, including a homer, four doubles, five RBIs, four runs, and a steal while hitting .458/.500/.750. He’s now hitting .276/.308/.472 with 17 homers, 67 RBIs, 70 runs, 29 doubles, and 18 steals.
