Brewers pitcher Jimmy Nelson went six scoreless innings during Monday night's 2-0 victory over the Pirates.
Nelson allowed only four hits and three walks while striking out seven batters. The win improves his overall record to 3-6. This marked Nelson's first game where he didn't give up a run since opening day.
"(Nelson) had a big-time finish to his sinker, and depth to the slider he threw," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said, via MLB.com. "He had so much late action (on that pitch), we were not able to do a whole lot with it."
Nelson now has a 4.05 ERA for the season.
Nelson's next start is projected for Saturday against the Nationals.
