When Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy pulled Aaron Ashby after 2.1 innings in Game 4 of the World Series, it officially marked 18 straight scoreless innings to begin his postseason.

All he needed was 16.2 innings to stand alone at the top, but Ashby has not only broken the record, but his scoreless streak is still intact.

It's highly unlikely that the 28-year-old pitches again in Game 5, but the Tampa Bay Rays haven't had any success against him, so it's certainly something to think about.

In total, Ashby has now pitched in nine postseason games, and he's gone 18 straight innings without allowing a run.

The record was previously held by Andrew Miller, who set it back in 2016, but exactly one decade later Ashby came along and took it for himself.

It's crazy to think that Ashby was a negative WAR player in both 2021 and 2022. His turnaround has been incredible, and that's not even giving him enough credit.

Ashby had a 6.75 postseason ERA in two games played during the '21 campaign, and last season he allowed four earned runs in 6.2 innings pitched.

The former starter couldn't have asked for a worse start to his MLB career on June 30, 2021, when he gave up seven runs, though only four of which were earned, and recorded just two outs against the Chicago Cubs.

It may have taken a couple of years, but pitching coach Chris Hook and Co. have turned him into one of the best to ever do it. And that's no exaggeration.

Ashby was dealing in Game 4, and if he hadn't been pulled after 2.1 innings, it would've been extremely interesting to see how the rest of that game played out.

Instead of playing the guessing game, all the Brewers can do is push forward. They know who the top arms in this bullpen are, and that was made crystal clear when Trevor Megill came in and recorded one out while Ashby did the rest.

Milwaukee's offense didn't have enough in the tank to win a nearly four-and-a-half-hour Game 4, so it'll be interesting to see not just how they look offensively, but also bullpen-wise, in Game 5.

Brewers play-by-play announcer calls him "everyday Aaron" for a reason, though even for Ashby's standards, it feels a bit overzealous to see him on the mound again in Game 5.
