Bradley Blalock Rebounds With Dominant Start After Rough June
Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Bradley Blalock turned in a quality outing for Double-A Biloxi this week, tossing seven shutout innings with one hit while striking out five without walking a batter. It was a much-needed dominant start for Blalock after he struggled to a 12.15 ERA in four June starts with Biloxi. The right-hander pitched a scoreless inning of relief for the Milwaukee Brewers in June in his big league debut before returning to Double-A. The Brewers' No. 17 prospect is now 4-2 with a 4.48 ERA and 1.28 WHIP for Biloxi in 13 starts.
The Milwaukee Brewers are calling up pitching prospect Bradley Blalock for what would be his big league debut whenever he enters a game. The righty has been pitching at Double-A Biloxi in 2024, and has never even seen any action Triple-A. The 23-year-old doesn't have particularly gaudy numbers in his minor league career, but was pitching well for Biloxi before his call-up, posting a 2.27 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and a 7:29 BB:K over 35 2/3 IP so far this season. While he worked as a starter in the minors, he'll likely provide bullpen depth for the Brewers, although Joe Ross left Monday's start after just one inning due to a back injury, so the Brewers may need another starter for Ross' next scheduled turn through the rotation this coming Sunday.
