ADRIAN HOUSER NEWS

Roughed up by Cardinals Houser (3-5) was tagged with the loss Saturday after he pitched four innings, giving up eight runs (five earned) on nine hits and a walk while striking out one versus the Cardinals...

Impact Houser didn't have his best stuff Saturday, surrendering a season-high nine hits while also allowing two home runs including a three-run shot by Paul Goldschmidt in the third. The one strikeout was a season low for the starter and the eight-run blow up ended a two-game quality start streak for him. Houser had only allowed one homer all season before Saturday and the rough outing raised his ERA from 2.98 to 3.69. He tentatively lines up to face the Padres in his next start Thursday.

Solid in no-decision Houser pitched six innings against San Diego on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out four. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Houser held the Padres without a run for four frames before Jorge Alfaro notched an RBI groundout against him in the fifth. The right-hander finished with his second straight quality start and fourth overall this season. Houser has been inconsistent throughout the campaign, but he'll carry a solid 2.98 ERA into his next start, which is lined up to come in St. Louis this weekend.

Loses arbitration case Houser will receive a $2.425 million contract in 2022 after losing his arbitration case with the Brewers, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Houser filed for $3 million in arbitration, but he'll make slightly less than that this season. The right-hander has been somewhat inconsistent early in 2022, and he's posted a 3.22 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 36.1 innings over seven starts. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against San Diego on Monday.

Handed tough-luck loss Houser (3-4) took the loss during Tuesday's 3-0 defeat to Atlanta, allowing an unearned run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Houser and Atlanta starter Tucker Davidson went toe-to-toe in this one, unfortunately for the 29-year-old a fifth inning Mike Brosseau error on a potential inning-ending double play let home a run that proved enough to saddle him with a second straight loss. He's now surrendered a surprising six unearned runs over his last three starts though the six strikeouts match a season high. He'll most likely take the hill again early next week against San Diego.

Dealt third defeat Houser (3-3) was charged with the loss Wednesday against the Reds after allowing seven runs (three earned) on six hits with four walks and three strikeouts across four innings.

Impact Houser was hurt by an error during the opening frame which resulted in four unearned runs coming across, and he also struggled in the second inning as Cincinnati struck for three more runs. The loss broke a string of three straight victories for the right-hander, and it was already the fourth time this season he's walked at least three batters in an outing. Houser has a 3.86 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 25:15 K:BB across 30.1 innings and lines up to pitch early next week versus Atlanta.

Picks up another win Houser (3-2) earned the win Thursday, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and one walk across five innings in a 10-5 win over the Reds. He struck out six.

Impact Houser struggled out of the gate, allowing four singles and three runs in the top of the first, but the 29-year-old was able to settle down and tossed back-to-back scoreless innings after the bumpy start. Tyler Stephenson tagged Houser for a solo shot in the fourth and another run came around to score in the fifth, but it wasn't charged to Hauser due to a throwing error from Omar Narvaez. Thanks to another dominant showing from the Brewers' offense, Houser didn't need his best stuff to earn a third straight win.

Blanks Cubs in rout Houser (2-2) picked up the win Friday, scattering two hits and three walks over six scoreless innings in an 11-1 victory over the Cubs. He struck out six.

Impact The 29-year-old right-hander let only one Chicago runner even reach second base, while his offense supported him with six homers. Houser has delivered back-to-back quality starts and sports a 2.53 ERA through 21.1 innings, but his 18.4 percent strikeout rate and 11.5 percent walk rate suggest he's been more lucky than good so far.

Gets first win with quality start Houser (1-2) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Phillies, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.

Impact Philadelphia grabbed a 3-0 lead through three innings, but Houser was able to settle down in the middle frames and give Milwaukee's offense a chance to get rolling. The 29-year-old right-hander tossed 58 of 85 pitches for strikes before exiting as he recorded his first quality start of the season, and he generated seven groundball outs versus zero flyball outs -- a pattern he'll need to continue to have success given his lack of whiffs (15.6 percent strikeout rate through 15.1 innings).

Takes tough-luck loss Houser (0-2) took the loss against St. Louis on Saturday, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing one run one four hits and three walks while striking out four.

Impact Despite some control issues -- he threw only 54 of 97 pitches for strikes -- Houser allowed only a fourth-inning run in the outing. He was lifted in the sixth with the Brewers trailing 1-0, and Milwaukee's offense was never able to catch up and take him off the hook for the loss. Houser holds a 2.89 ERA through two starts, but he is 0-2 and his peripherals -- including a 7:6 K:BB over 9.1 frames -- are less promising. He'll likely make his next start in Philadelphia next weekend.

APRIL 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Yields two runs in loss Houser (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over 3.2 innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against Baltimore.

Impact Houser coughed up a two-run single to Cedric Mullins in the second inning and the Orioles would go on to win 2-0. He needed 76 pitches (43 strikes) to get through 3.2 frames. The 29-year-old righty will look for better results at home against the Cardinals this weekend.

Building up pitch count Houser is expected to throw between 70 and 80 pitches Thursday in his scheduled start at the Brewers' minor-league camp, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Houser could get the ball again in the Brewers' exhibition finale Tuesday against the Royals, but even if Thursday's outing is it for him during the spring, he should be sufficiently built up for starting duty by the time Opening Day arrives. At this point, Houser looks in good shape to win a rotation spot; the only question is whether he'll be part of a traditional five-man staff, or a six-man staff that also includes youngster Aaron Ashby. The Brewers finished the 2021 regular season with a six-man rotation, and though the arrangement cost each member some innings, it paid dividends from a workload management standpoint.

Takes Game 3 loss Houser (1-1) gave up three runs on three hits and one walk in one inning Monday in Game 3 of the NLDS against Atlanta. He took the loss and did not record a strikeout.

Impact The only three runs of the entire game came off Houser in the fifth inning. Starter Freddy Peralta was pulled early with the Brewers threatening in the top of the fifth and in need of a pinch hitter, but that scoring threat was dashed and the downgrade to Houser turned out to be devastating. It seems highly unlikely that he will be called upon again in a high-leverage situation this series, as he has now given up four runs in three innings in what has been a very low-scoring series.

Earns win in Game 1 Houser (1-0) allowed one run on a hit and no walks while striking out one in two innings to earn the win against Atlanta in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday.

Impact Houser was the only Brewers pitcher to allow a run in Friday's contest, as he gave up a solo homer to Joc Pederson in the top of the eighth inning. However, he was still rewarded with the win in the low-scoring matchup to begin the NLDS. The 28-year-old started in 26 of his 28 regular-season appearances but has taken on a bullpen role early in the postseason.

Continues dominance over Cardinals Houser (10-6) allowed three hits and two walks with one strikeout over five shutout innings, picking up the win in Wednesday's 4-0 victory over the Cardinals.

Impact If anybody were to end the Cardinals' joyous 17-game winning streak, it would be Houser. Though he did have to wriggle out of a couple jams, he allowed just a trio of hits en route to his 10th win of the season. Through four starts against St. Louis this year, the right-hander is 3-0 with a microscopic 0.36 ERA over 25 innings. If the Brewers are to renew hostilities with the Redbirds in the postseason, they have a Cardinal killer in Houser at their disposal.

Settles for no-decision Houser allowed one run on five hits and a pair of walks while striking out three across six innings during Thursday's loss to the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Aside from an RBI single by Yadier Molina in the fifth inning, Houser pieced together a solid outing to earn himself a quality start. It was a nice bounce-back performance after getting tagged for five runs (four earned) across four innings versus the Cubs last time out. The 28-year-old has compiled a sturdy 3.34 ERA and 1.29 WHIP overall this season.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard Friday Houser allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings Friday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Houser kept the Cubs off the scoreboard until the fourth, when the North Siders piled on four runs in the inning. Houser came back out for the fifth and allowed a leadoff home run to Frank Schwindel and then walked Ian Happ before his day was officially over. The 28-year-old had one of his worst outings of the year and was luckily saved by some late-game offense from his team. Houser now owns a 3.43 ERA 1.29 WHIP, and 101:60 K:BB over 131.1 innings. Houser has only taken one loss in his last 17 appearances.

Wild but effective in win Houser (9-6) earned the win Friday over Cleveland. He allowed two unearned runs on a hit and five walks with five strikeouts in six innings.

Impact This is the second time in his last five starts he's allowed more walks than hits, but he's been fairly effective in that stretch. Houser had to contend with a couple of errors by Luis Urias in the first inning, but it was otherwise smooth sailing from there for the right-hander. With no earned runs on his ledger, Houser's ERA dipped to 3.25 with a 1.26 WHIP and 98:58 K:BB across 127.1 innings this year. The 28-year-old lines up for a favorable home start versus the Cubs during next weekend's three-game series.
