Main Story: Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby has turned past postseason struggles into remarkable composure under pressure. He has thrown 15⅔ scoreless innings this October, recording three saves and helping Milwaukee move within two wins of its first World Series title.

By the Numbers
  • 15⅔ scoreless innings and 3 saves this postseason.
  • 17 strikeouts, 5 hits allowed and 3 walks across 8 appearances.
  • Milwaukee’s bullpen: 8-1 with a 1.24 ERA and 8 saves this postseason.
  • Ashby’s scoreless-inning total is 2nd-most by a reliever to start a postseason; the record is 16.
Yes, But

Ashby’s current dominance follows difficult playoff outings, including a 5.40 ERA in seven appearances last October. He credits improved mental preparation, breathing, and faith with helping him stay focused instead of trying to force the moment.

State of Play
  • Milwaukee leads the World Series 2-0 and is two wins from its first championship.
  • Manager Pat Murphy has trusted Ashby with high-leverage, multi-inning work, even with closer Trevor Megill available.
Bottom Line

Ashby’s calm has become a competitive edge for a Brewers bullpen built to handle tight games—and his scoreless streak is putting him in postseason record territory.
