Brewers' Robert Gasser: Victorious in debut

Gasser (1-0) earned the win in Friday's 11-2 victory over St. Louis, allowing two hits and no walks over six shutout innings. He struck out four.

Gasser dazzled over 79 pitches in his big-league debut against a downtrodden Cardinals offense. His fastball averaged 92.7 mph, but he more heavily relied on his sweeper, tossing it 46 percent of the time Friday. Though Freddy Peralta (suspension) is set to return to start Saturday's game, Gasser's brilliant performance should keep him in the Milwaukee rotation, especially as the Brewers have an opening after optioning Tobias Myers to Triple-A Nashville on Friday. Gasser tentatively lines up to make his next start early next week at home versus the Pirates.
