Secures 12th save Williams struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Williams collected his third save in four days by retiring the side on 14 pitches in the ninth inning. He's avoided a prolonged slump after a blown save Aug. 21 versus the Cardinals, following it up with a nine-inning scoreless streak that has seen him earn seven saves with a 16:4 K:BB. Williams is now at a 1.53 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB with 12 saves in 13 chances over 17.2 innings this season.

Fans two for 11th save Williams picked up the save over the Giants on Thursday, allowing two hits over a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two.

Impact Williams struck out Matt Chapman on three-straight pitches after taking the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead. However, he would then allow back-to-back hits, including a double to put the game-tying run on base. Fortunately for the right-hander, he was able to retire the next two batters to record his 11th save of the campaign and his third in the month of September. Williams has also posted multiple strikeouts in six-consecutive appearances, posting a ridiculous 13:3 K:BB over that stretch. He's still yet to allow a run this month.

Earns save Tuesday Williams earned a save against the Giants on Tuesday, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out two during a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Williams worked around a base hit and a walk in the inning with two strikeouts and a pop out to put the Giants away for his 10th save of the year. He's now working on seven straight scoreless appearances and has struck out 11 of the 20 batters he's faced over his last five outings. For the year, Williams has a 1.72 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings.

Picks up ninth save Williams earned a save against the Rockies on Saturday, striking out all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.

Impact Williams dominated the Rockies on Saturday, making it the fourth time this season he gets all three outs in the ninth via strikeout. Williams has already racked up nine saves in 10 opportunities since making his season debut on July 28. The 29-year-old has been particularly impressive of late, as he hasn't given up a hit in any of his last six appearances and carries a 1.84 ERA for the year.

Shaky in eighth save Williams walked two and hit one batter in a scoreless and hitless inning, adding two strikeouts to earn the save in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

Impact Williams has allowed multiple baserunners in three of his last five outings, but he was able to escape a bases-loaded jam of his own making in Saturday's win. The right-hander is now 8-for-9 in save chances this year. He's pitched to a 2.31 ERA, but a 1.20 WHIP and eight walks over 11.2 innings show he's not quite all the way back from a command standpoint. Williams has also logged 20 strikeouts and doesn't appear to be at much risk of ceding closing duties back to Trevor Megill.

Hangs on for 10th-inning save Williams earned the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds in the opening game of a doubleheader, walking one while logging a strikeout in a scoreless 10th inning.

Impact After Milwaukee took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th inning, Williams quickly recorded the first two outs in the bottom half. However, he'd allow the free-runner to reach third base on a wild pitch before issuing a two-out walk. However, Williams managed to get Ty France to fly out, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs aboard to pick up his seventh save. The right-hander has now converted back-to-back save chances after allowing two runs on three walks in a blown save against St. Louis last week. Overall, Williams sports a 2.53 ERA with 1.13 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB through 10.2 innings this season.

Nabs save in return Williams (shoulder) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Williams hadn't pitched in a week due to shoulder soreness that surfaced over the weekend. His last outing was a blown save last Wednesday versus the Cardinals that saw him walk three batters. For the year, Williams is at a 2.79 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB with six saves in seven chances across 9.2 innings. Barring any additional injury concerns, Williams is poised to be the Brewers' full-time closer over the final month of the season.

Nursing left shoulder soreness Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Williams was unavailable to pitch Sunday against the Athletics due to left shoulder soreness, Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Impact Murphy said that Williams felt a "pinch" in his non-throwing shoulder when he woke up Sunday morning, likely a result of sleeping on it wrong. Williams attempted to play catch prior to Sunday's game, but he was sore and "just didn't look right," per Murphy, who declared his closer off limits for the day. It sounds like a day-to-day type injury, but it's not yet clear whether Williams will be available for Tuesday's series opener versus the Giants. Trevor Megill would likely fill in as closer until Williams is ready.

Takes first blown save Williams allowed two runs on one hit, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning to take a blown save in Wednesday's 10-6 extra-inning loss t...

Impact Williams was shaky in earning a save Tuesday, and he was even worse Wednesday. He threw just 12 of his 31 pitches for strikes, and two of his three walks came with the bases loaded. Trevor Megill was able to escape the ninth inning with a groundout, but he would up surrendering a walk-off grand slam in the 10th to complete the Brewers' collapse. Williams is now at a 3.12 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB through 8.2 innings this season while converting five of his six save opportunities.

Escapes with save Tuesday Williams gave up two hits and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his fifth save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Cardinals. He struck out three.

Impact He converted his fifth straight save chance since recovering from back trouble and making his season debut in late July, but Williams wasn't exactly sharp. The right-hander loaded the bases with one out before fanning Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Gorman to escape the jam. Williams has seen a heavy workload over the last week, getting called upon four times in seven days, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Trevor Megill handled the ninth Wednesday should Milwaukee have another late lead to protect.

Perfect inning for save Williams pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.

Impact Williams failed to log a strikeout for the first time in his seven appearances this season. It was still a tidy save for the right-hander, who got the heart of Cleveland's order out on three straight groundouts. Williams has allowed one run -- on a solo home run versus Atlanta on Aug. 7 -- while earning four saves and posting an 11:1 K:BB over seven innings. All of his saves have been over his last four appearances, including three over the last four days, so it's safe to say Williams is back to being locked in as Milwaukee's closer.

Records another save Williams earned a save against the Dodgers on Thursday, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Williams was called upon to close the door on the Dodgers for the second straight day, and he again succeeded in impressive fashion. On Wednesday, he retired Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman in order, and he bested Ohtani and Betts -- both on strikeouts -- again Thursday. Williams has been as brilliant as ever since returning from a back injury July 28, recording three saves while allowing just one run and posting an 11:1 K:BB over six innings spanning six appearances.
