Lyerly's return from the DL
After missing just over a month with bone chips in his throwing elbow, Harry Lyerly was given a short rehab stint at AAA, where he pitched two starts with limited success, and then returned to the Brewers with the September 1st roster expansion. In his first game back he didn't fare too poorly, but he did allow 10 hits over 8 1/3rds innings, including 3 solo HR's which accounted for all of the runs he gave up, in a 3-1 loss to L.A.
His next start, against Charlotte on the 7th of September, was a true gem. In a 1-0 win, Lyerly got the complete game shutout, allowing just 4 hits while striking out 8 and walking 1.
His third post-injury start in a Brewers uniform went nearly as well as the second. In another complete game victory, Lyerly allowed just 1 run on 4 hits while striking out 6 and walking 5.
While he won't be repeating as MGL Pitcher of the Year, his third season as a big leaguer is looking to be another strong one, as he is now 12-6 with a 2.56 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. At the tender age of 23, Lyerly's career is off to a great start.
