Brewers' Quinn Priester Delivers Bulk Relief Against Orioles

Quinn Priester has been utilized by the Milwaukee Brewers both as a starter and a bulk reliever, with mixed results this season. In his recent bulk relief appearance, Priester pitched 5.1 innings allowing three runs and setting a season high in innings pitched, despite an overall 4.66 ERA through nearly 39 innings. The Brewers have occasionally used an opener strategy ahead of Priester, as seen in a game against the Orioles where Rob Zastryzny started before Priester took over. Priester's season stats include a 4.59 ERA and 23 strikeouts through seven starts, though he has yet to record a quality start and opponents have batted .248 against him. Upcoming matchups, such as a start against the Orioles who have struggled offensively this season, will test Priester's ability to maintain longer outings. Meanwhile, unrelated to Priester, Eric Lauer will start for the Toronto Blue Jays as they face the Detroit Tigers, highlighting other pitching rotations in MLB.
