EDGE Analysis

Haded entered with the bases loaded and nobody out during the eighth inning and surrendered the lead with a walk, but he then escaped, delivered a scoreless ninth inning and grabbed the victory as the Brewers rallied for the walkoff. The 25-year-old had his share of struggles in mid-August, but he's now delivered six straight scoreless outings (8.2 innings) with 13 strikeouts and one walk.

Hader struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 28th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw has found his form at the right time for Milwaukee. Hader has reeled off five straight scoreless appearances, fanning multiple batters in the last four, and he now sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 115:17 K:BB through 63.1 innings on the year. The Brewers now sit four games back of the second NL wild-card spot, with two other teams between then and the Cubs, so Hader will need to stay dominant down the stretch if they're going to see action in October.

Hader retired all five batters he faced in Saturday's game against the Cubs -- two via strikeout -- to earn his 27th save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Craig Counsell called upon Hader in the eighth inning with Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez due up for Chicago in a 2-0 game. Hader retired Rizzo and Baez on four total pitches and then breezed through the ninth on eight pitches. The lefty seems to be getting on track after four blown saves in his first five chances of August, as he's now turned in three straight scoreless appearances with two hits allowed and a 5:0 K:BB during that span.

Hader pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth while allowing only one run and posting three strikeouts during a save against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Hader's first save since Aug. 5, breaking a streak of three blown opportunities. The Brewers need all the wins they can get inside the NL Central division, so manager Craig Counsell was very aggressive, turning to his closer in the eighth with a three-run lead. Owners should expect more unusual usage for Hader, as the Brewers try to close the gap between themselves and both the Cardinals and Cubs. Hader is 2-5 with 26 saves, a 2.87 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 109 strikeouts in 59.2 innings this season.

Hader threw a scoreless ninth inning in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers trailed 5-2 when Hader entered Sunday's game, but because he had not taken the mound in eight days, manager Craig Counsell decided to give him some work despite the score. It's been a rough month for Hader, who has blown four saves in August and had allowed at least one earned run in five straight outings prior to Sunday's, but he should be plenty rested now, at least. Hader threw just 14 pitches Sunday, so he will presumably be available Monday if the Brewers find themselves in a save situation.
