Jeff Niemann scattered four hits across six scoreless innings of work on Monday evening, improving to 2-4 in Tampa Bay's 8-4 win over the Brewers. Making his first start since May 4, Niemann struck out five and walked three in lowering his ERA from 5.74 to 4.82. Shaky before landing on the disabled list, hopefully a healthy Niemann will equal an effective Niemann.
