STEVEN BRAULT NEWS

Uninspiring in loss Brault (0-3) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks Friday, as the Pirates fell to the Royals 4-3. He struck out six.

Impact Brault once again struggled with command, bringing his season totals to just 24 strikeouts versus 17 walks. Friday's outing raised his season ERA to 4.73. His next start will likely come next week against Cincinnati, who he held to three runs over 4.2 innings on Sept. 4.

Gets Game 1 nod Brault will start against the Reds on Friday afternoon in Game 1 of a doubleheader.

Impact He has enjoyed surprising success against Cincinnati, going 4-0 with a 1.99 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 31.2 innings. Brault has started in six of his seven appearances in 2020 and has pitch five innings just one time, so his pitch efficiency will likely determine his success Friday.

Allows unearned run in short outing Brault allowed an unearned run on three hits and a walk across three innings pitched in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Brewers. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Impact With his Aug. 19 start against Cleveland being the lone exception, Brault's outings have lasted three innings or less. Despite it being another short start in Sunday's win, the left-hander was decent against Milwaukee. The lone run he allowed was unearned and he set a season-high in strikeouts with five. Brault will likely start one of the games during the doubleheader against the Reds on Friday.

Gives up four runs in loss Brault (0-1) allowed four runs on five hits and four walks over three innings in a loss to the White Sox on Tuesday. He failed to record a strikeout.

Impact Brault was on the wrong side of history Tuesday, as White Sox starter Lucas Giolito tossed a no-hitter. The White Sox scraped together three runs off Brault in the second inning and added another in the third before Nick Tropeano relieved him. Brault has a 4.80 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and nine strikeouts in 15 innings across five appearances (five starts) this year. The 28-year-old has only pitched five or more innings once this year, so he may struggle to work deep into his next turn, currently scheduled for Sunday in Milwaukee.

Holds Cleveland in check Brault allowed two hits and one walk while striking out three across five scoreless innings Wednesday against Cleveland. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Brault held Cleveland hitless through four innings, with the only baserunner he allowed coming on a walk to lead off the game. He allowed consecutive singles to begin the fifth frame, but recovered to keep his scoreless effort intact. It was Brault's first outing since Aug. 9 due to postponed contests, and also the deepest he has worked into a game this season. He's currently projected to take his next turn in the rotation Tuesday at the White Sox.
