Villanueva Picks up Rare 3-Inning Save
Brewers reliever Carlos Villanueva picked up a rare three-inning save Friday against Pittsburgh. Villanueva came on for Ben Sheets and pitched 3 1/3 innings, giving up just one hit and one walk, while striking out three. This is only the second time in his last eight appearances that Villanueva has avoided giving up a run. Still, it was a pretty impressive outing for his first save of the season and the second of his career. Originally supposed to be a starter, Villanueva probably won’t find himself in the Brewers rotation anytime soon so he’s just an NL-only relief option for the time being. (CBS Sports)
