Brewers right-handed pitching prospect continued his dominant run Wednesday, striking out eight batters in six innings for Triple-A Nashville.
Nelson allowed five base runners (three singles and two walks) and three runs (one earned), lowering his ERA to 2.00 and WHIP to 0.978. He also sports a 8.88 K/9 to go with his sparkling 0.2 HR/9 (one in 45 IP). Nelson and Nashville rotation mate Mike Fiers are ready to pick up innings in Milwaukee, but with the Brewers rotation performing so well, they may need to wait for the seemingly invariable minor injury to open the door.
