Davies (16-8) gave up two runs -- one earned -- on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Tuesday, which was enough to hand him a loss to the Reds. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Milwaukee's offense didn't give him enough support, but Davies continued his streak of terrific mound performances -- over his last five starts, he's allowed only four earned runs in 32.1 innings, good for a 1.11 ERA. Of course, Davies' lack of strikeout ability means stretches like that are hard for him to sustain, but he's done well to keep the ball on the ground (and thus not over the fence) this year. That said, his 2016 numbers were better in a number of categories -- K/9, BB/9 and FIP, for a few examples. He'll make his next start Monday at home against the Pirates.
