July 12, 2025 4:10 AM : Priester (7-2) earned the win Friday against the Nationals, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: The Brewers deployed Priester in relief for the fifth time this season, and the hurler piggybacked off opener DL Hall with six strong innings. Milwaukee jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the third inning, and Priester was able to keep Washington off balance while inducing nine groundouts. The 24-year-old right-hander has emerged as a legitimate weapon in 2025, working to a 3.55 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 70:32 K:BB over a career-high 88.2 innings, but it remains to be seen how Priester will be utilized once Nestor Cortes (elbow) wraps up his rehab assignment.
