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.

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.
