Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison was very reliable in a 6-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

While the lightning-fast pitches and high strikeout games of Jacob Misiorowski are dominating storylines regarding the Milwaukee Brewers, another pitcher in the rotation is also having an excellent season: Kyle Harrison.

Sure, Harrison may not have a flamethrower of a fastball or rack up double-digit strikeouts most of the time like Misiorowski (though he did fan 11 batters in his May 20 start against the Chicago Cubs), Harrison has been reliable and, at times, dominant.

On Tuesday, in a 6-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals, Harrison’s reliability and pitching savvy helped the Brewers complete the shutout win.

Harrison delivered six innings of work for Milwaukee in the victory that helped secure the series over its National League Central Division rivals, and he struck out two batters while only allowing four hits.

Harrison’s lengthy and effective outing also helped him achieve franchise history, too, by passing Hall-of-Fame righty CC Sabathia for the lowest ERA from a starter through their first 10 games in a Brewers jersey.

Until Harrison came along, Sabathia held the record with a 1.59 ERA. After Tuesday’s start, Harrison now possesses a 1.57 ERA along with a 6-1 record through his first 10 starts during his first season in Milwaukee.

After the game, Harrison talked about his outing.

"Keep trying to put up zeros, you know," Harrison told the media. "Defense had some great plays behind me. Hammy, Brice [Turang], I mean, geez, what a day for those guys. So, no, but definitely didn't have the swing and miss stuff per se, but just glad I battled out there."

"Hammy," as he is nicknamed, is shortstop David Hamilton, who saved Harrison from adding another hit to his final line with a miraculous leaping catch in the fifth inning. For Harrison, it is hard to pinpoint the defensive play of the game from his perspective, but Hamilton's catch was what came to mind.

"Too many, too many to say," Harrison said. "But, I mean, Hammy, Hammy did a really good job over there today and handled it all, for sure."

When Harrison feels he does not have his best stuff, he doesn’t aim for a change in pitching approach. Instead, he continues to work to effectively oppose hitters.

"No, not necessarily," Harrison said. "I'd say that it's just, it's more of an emphasis to try and get it done. For example, I didn't think I did a good job throwing into the righties and having anything tunnel off of that. So for me, it's like, "Alright, let's get on the work in between the lead to, you know, hit my spots. Yeah, that's really all it comes down to."
