Aaron Ashby, the Milwaukee Brewers’ left-handed reliever, just did something no other reliever in MLB history has ever done. After absolutely shutting down seven Tampa Bay Rays batters in Game 4 of the World Series on October 27, Ashby has now gone an unbelievable 18 innings in the playoffs without giving up a single run. Talk about locking it down!
Ashby Rewrites the Playoff Record Books
This isn’t just a good streak; it’s a new MLB record for relievers. Ashby’s 18 scoreless innings completely blow past the old record of 16 innings, which was set by Andrew Miller way back in 2016 when he was with the Chicago Cubs. The man is a machine, absolutely metronomic on the mound. When a guy gets called “metronomic” in the postseason, you know he is dialed in, delivering consistent, unhittable pitches over and over. Seriously, somebody should just give him a jersey with a bunch of zeros on it already.
World Series Game 4 Highlights Ashby’s Dominance
Game 4 of the World Series saw Ashby just continue his reign of terror against the Rays at Tropicana Field. While Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter Christian Yelich was busy swiping second and then advancing to third on a Rays error, and catcher William Contreras drew a walk, Ashby was the real story, keeping the Tampa Bay bats completely silent when he was out there. It’s one thing to pitch well in the regular season, but to do this on the biggest stage in baseball, in the World Series, that’s another level entirely.
The Brewers are deep in the World Series battle right now, and with Ashby dealing like this, they’ve gotta be feeling good heading into Game 5. The Rays better figure out how to crack this guy, and fast, because he’s looking utterly untouchable. You gotta tune in to see if he can keep this insane, historic streak alive!
