Another dominant outing Williams struck out four batters over two scoreless innings in Saturday's loss to Cleveland.

Impact Only a catcher's interference prevented Williams from being perfect Saturday, as he was otherwise dominant, which is becoming the norm for him. Williams' changeup has taken him to new heights, and over his last eight appearances he did not allow a hit over 9.1 innings, struck out a whopping 20 batters and walked just two.

Dominating in August Through six appearances in August, Williams has struck out 15 while giving up an unearned run on two hits and three walks over 6.1 innings.

Impact Josh Hader has been dominant as usual at the back end of the Milwaukee bullpen and his locked in as the team's closer, but Williams has risen from relative obscurity to potentially emerge as the next man up for save chances. The key to Williams' success has been his mid-80s changeup, which ranks tops among all pitchers in horizontal movement and fourth in vertical movement, as measured by Statcast.

Getting the job done Williams tossed a scoreless seventh inning in Sunday's victory over the Reds.

Impact Williams earned a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster this season for the first time, and he has found himself working in key situations early on, with each of his five appearances coming when the Brewers have either been tied or ahead on the scoreboard. He has proven up to the task, allowing just one earned run (1.69 ERA) while punching out 10 batters over 5.1 innings of relief.
