The Milwaukee Brewers completed their second shutout in three days against the Philadelphia Phillies with a 4-0 win on Sunday to conclude their series at American Family Field in Milwaukee

In the game, Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison did not have the flashiest start, but he went six innings for his club.

Harrison provided those six scoreless innings for Milwaukee in which he struck out three batters while allowing three hits. It was a bounce-back game for Harrison, who struggled against the Athletics in his June 8 outing when he allowed eight hits, eight earned runs (three of which were home runs), and two walks. 

Harrison’s start against the Athletics was so rough that manager Pat Murphy had to pull him after just 2.1 innings. Sunday, however, yielded a much better result, and Harrison improved to 8-1 on the season.

After the game, Harrison talked with Fox Sports 920 and the other media members about his outing.

"Regular elevation, happy to be back at sea level," Harrison said. "I guess, whatever it is here. So yeah, nice to see the ball moving like it should. It’s kind of back, but yeah, feel good about it."

If it was the mountainous elevation of Las Vegas Ballpark that bothered Harrison in his June 8 debacle, that was not the case against the Phillies.

After Harrison and the defense retired the side in the top of the first, Jackson Chourio hit a lead-off solo home run to put Milwaukee on the board, and he did it off Cristopher Sanchez, who is one of Major League Baseball’s best starting pitchers this season. For Harrison, that home run gave him room to settle in.

"Just lets you go out there and fill the zone up, man," Harrison said. "Lets you be free and attack the zone. But yeah, I'm sure he’lll swing the bat, and that was a great start. So, anytime you get ahead on a team like that, especially a good team that's rolling, yeah, it's good to punch first."

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Brewers right fielder Blake Perkins, who has been struggling at the plate this season, hit a two-out, three-run home run to make it a 4-0 game and give Harrison and the defense even more room to work. It was also Perkins’ first home run of the season.

"100%, that was the boost we needed," Harrison said. "I mean, what a day from him, and I guess there's some previous numbers that he's done well. So yeah, just a good day for the bats."

For Harrison, the bulk of his best pitching came toward the middle innings, and he credited catcher Gary Sanchez for holding him accountable.

"100%, I think, in terms of my rhythm, timing, and everything, I think that really happened kind of third, fourth, past that third inning," Harrison said. "So yeah, just needed to settle in and found my rhythm and timing was moving a little too slow earlier, I'd say. So that was great on Gary's part.

"He told me, he's like, 'Hey, man, you need to move quicker. I don't like that slow stuff,’" Harrison added. "So, having Gary back there too, keeping me on it, that was huge."
