Lucas Harrell struck out nine over five innings Tuesday against the Pirates but also allowed nine hits and five runs in a loss. He was taken deep by Andrew McCutchen. The punchouts are nice, but Harrell no doubt would have preferred going deeper in the game in his first start after last week's shutout. The owner of a 4.56 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, he'll get the Brewers this weekend in his final start prior to the All-Star break.
