Picks up win in relief Cousins (2-0) earned the win in relief Sunday against St. Louis after tossing a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and fanning one.

Impact Cousins bounced back from Saturday's outing in which he allowed one run and two hits over one inning against St. Louis, and now he clinched his second win of the season. He's looked effective so far and has posted three scoreless outings over his last four relief appearances while pitching to a 3.60 ERA over 5.0 innings to date.

Ends spring on high note Cousins struck out two batters and picked up a save in Tuesday's spring game.

Impact Cousins was knocked around a bit this spring, allowing five earned runs over 4.2 innings. However, he did post a 6:1 K:BB and ended the exhibition season on a high note. He won't be in position to pick up saves when the regular season gets underway, but he does figure to be part of the Brewers' late-inning mix, and the 13.2 K/9 he posted in his rookie season suggests he does have closer's stuff.

The 27-year-old should fill a high-leverage role for the Brewers after posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 44:19 K:BB over 30 innings this season, especially with setup man Devin Williams (hand) sidelined.

Collects first big-league win Cousins (1-0) picked up the win in a 5-0 victory over the Mets during the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader, striking out one in a perfect inning of relief.

Impact The rookie worked the fifth inning as the first man out of the bullpen in relief of Brett Anderson, and with the Brewers already holding a 2-0 lead, Cousins was rewarded with his first MLB win. The 26-year-old has yet to allow a hit, much less a run, through his first six big-league appearances with a sharp 12:3 K:BB in 7.1 innings.

JULY 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gaining trust in late innings Cousins retired one of the three batters he faced Tuesday but recorded his first career hold in the Brewers' 2-1 win over the Cubs.

Impact Cousins entered the contest in the seventh inning with two outs and a runner on first base when reliever Brent Suter checked out of the game. The rookie didn't make things easy on himself by walking Willson Contreras and then hitting Javier Baez with a pitch to load the bases, but he was able to extinguish the threat by striking out Ian Happ on four pitches. Though Tuesday's outing wasn't the smoothest for Cousins, manager Craig Counsell's willingness to use him in a big spot speaks to how quickly the 27-year-old has gained the skipper's trust. Cousins was making just his third big-league appearance after he was utterly dominant in his first two outings, striking out nine while allowing no runs, no hits and one walk across four innings.
