Hader walked one and struck out one in 1.1 scoreless innings to record a hold during a 7-6 victory over the Pirates on Friday.
The Brewers turned to Hader in the bottom of the seventh while possessing a 2-1 lead. He recorded the final out of that frame and then made it through the eighth without allowing a hit. The Brewers scored four runs in their top of the eighth, so with a five-run lead, they elected to go with a different pitcher in a non-save situation for the ninth. That decision proved to be costly because the Pirates forced extra innings, but Hader is still 1-3 with 20 saves, four holds, a 2.09 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 79 strikeouts in 43 innings this season.
