Not only did Milwaukee Brewers rookie Brandon Sproat make history, but he matched Brandon Woodruff's exact pitching line from the night before.

Somehow, that has indeed happened before, so that in itself wasn't the history making moment. When looking at the Brewers franchise, no rookie has ever allowed one or fewer hits without walking a batter while striking out 10.

Sproat did just that in Cincinnati as he echoed what "Big Woo" did the night before. Sproat, 25, hasn't been perfect this season, but what he did against the Reds proves there's another bona star in the Brewers organization.

"That's all the scouting report was: Go do what Woo did," Sproat told the media after making franchise history. There's a major difference between the two as Sproat has been pitching consistently at the majors while Woodruff had seven weeks off, but there's still nothing wrong with the rookie copying what the veteran did the night prior.

Together, Woodruff and Sproat are the second Brewers duo to put up the exact same line in back-to-back nights. Coincidentally, Woodruff was involved the last time it happened as well. One would have to go back to September 9 and 11, 2020, when he matched Corbin Burnes outing from two nights prior.

When asked about catching fire due to how well the Brewers starting rotation has been, Sproat says he "100%" believes pitching is contagious. Since the Brewers are on a roll, it only boosts everyone's performance, as seen with what Woodruff and Sproat did coming off a great boost from Robert Gasser the night prior.

"Guys have a good outing one day, and it’s one of those things as a pitcher, whether it’s ‘Miz’ [Jacob Misiorowski], ‘Harry’ [Kyle Harrison] or Woo, ‘Hey, what was working for you today? What did you see from your perspective?’ Then you take it over to the next day when you’re starting," Sproat said. 

For the first time since July 22-26, 2023, the Brewers have a streak of five consecutive quality starts. Milwaukee might not have the overall best starting rotation in baseball, but sometimes it sure feels like they do. 

Knowing Logan Henderson is working his way back as well, things just keep getting better for a Brewers squad that is enjoying a comfortable six-game lead in the National League Central Division. At 48-29, they'll look to sweep the Reds before enjoying a well-deserved day off.
