Kyle Harrison Is 6-0 With a 0.91 ERA in His Last Seven Starts and Nobody in Baseball Is Ready For It

Alright, Seattle sports fam, buckle up! There's wild baseball happening with the Milwaukee Brewers, and pitcher Kyle Harrison is absolutely cooking right now. This dude is on a tear, rolling into a three-game series against the Athletics in Vegas after a massive sweep. He’s practically unhittable.

Kyle Harrison Is Playing on Another Planet

Brewers lefty Kyle Harrison is a bonafide ace right now. He's rocking a 7-1 record with a ridiculous 1.57 ERA. Get this, in his last seven starts, the 24-year-old, acquired from Boston this offseason, is 6-0 with a mind-blowing 0.91 ERA! He’s only given up four runs in 39 2/3 innings, which is why Milwaukee has surged to the top of the National League Central.

His last outing was an 8-3 home victory over San Francisco. Harrison nabbed the win, giving up one run on four hits in 5 2/3 innings, fanning a career-high 12 batters. He carried a shutout into the sixth, and it took a solo homer from Willy Adames to break his insane streak of 23 consecutive scoreless innings! Brewers manager Pat Murphy said, "He was a little amped up...he was really good." His only other time facing the A’s was a relief stint last season with Boston.

The A's Are Playing in Limbo, Springs Is Searching for Answers

While Harrison is dealing, the Athletics are facing a different vibe with starter Jeffrey Springs on the mound. Springs, a fellow lefty, is 3-6 with a 4.37 ERA. It gets tougher: he’s 0-4 with a 4.98 ERA in his last seven starts, giving up 41 hits in 34 1/3 innings. After three straight wins early on, Springs hasn't gotten a W in nine starts since April 14. Yikes!

His last time out, he lasted only 3 2/3 innings, giving up four runs on seven hits. Thankfully, the bullpen pulled off a miracle, throwing 6 1/3 scoreless innings to secure a 5-4 comeback road win in 10 innings against the Cubs. Springs admitted, "They definitely picked me up huge... I definitely owe them after tonight."

On the flip side, the A’s are coming off a 5-0 win in Houston, dodging a sweep. Rookie Gage Jump tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings, giving just three hits. Nick Kurtz launched a two-run homer and Brent Rooker added a solo shot. Meanwhile, the Brewers just swept the Colorado Rockies 12-4, now 17 games above .500 after Gary Sanchez's two-run homer erased a 3-1 deficit. This series is the first of two regular-season matchups the A’s will play in Las Vegas this year, as they gear up for a permanent move there in 2028. For now, they’re in West Sacramento, playing this six-game homestand at their Triple-A affiliate’s park.

So, here we are, another Monday night of baseball. Can Harrison keep his insane streak alive and push the Brewers further up the standings? Or will the A’s, even in their temporary digs, manage to string something together against one of the league's hottest pitchers? It’s a road-trip opener, and every pitch matters. Let's see if Springs can get some redemption, or if Harrison just keeps dealing. You gotta watch this one, folks!
