Ben Brown Fans 9 as Cubs Shut Out Reds 2-0

Brown's outing against the Reds was a standout in a season that's seen its share of ups and downs. Despite a 6.39 ERA, his ability to fan 9 batters underscores the potential his 11.0 K/9 rate hints at.

Without a current streak to lean on, this performance served as a bright spot in his recent games. With 62 strikeouts over 50 2/3 innings, Brown continues to show flashes of high strikeout capabilities.
