Sears (1-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and over five innings against the Brewers. He struck out five.
Though Spears' victory was his first of the season, he's strung together a handful of impressive starts, having allowed two or fewer earned runs in all of his last six appearances. The 27-year-old bounced back from a season-high five walks in his previous start to allow no free passes Sunday. After picking up a 9.4 K/9 across his first nine starts, Sears' strikeout value has plummeted over his last four appearances, owning a 6.1 K/9 in that span. He's lined up to make his next start during a homestand against the Phillies.
