Ends on high note Brault hurled seven shutout innings against the Cubs on Tuesday, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out six in a 3-2 win.

Brault closes out his 2020 campaign pitching his best baseball, limiting opponents to one earned run in 16 innings over his final two starts. According to AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh announcer John Wehner, Brault did not allow an extra-base hit off his fastball all season long (42.2 innings).

Notches complete-game victory Brault (1-3) earned the win against St. Louis on Thursday, hurling nine innings and allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out eight.
Impact The impressive performance was easily the best of the season for Brault, who went the distance for the first time in his career and racked up a season-high eight strikeouts. The only hits he allowed came in the third inning, when St. Louis pushed across a run on a walk and a pair of singles. Brault needed an efficient 110 pitches to make it through nine frames and held the first four batters in the Cardinals' order to a 1-for-15 mark with six strikeouts. He'll try to carry over the momentum from Thursday's outing into a home matchup against the Cubs on Tuesday.

Gets Game 1 nod Brault will start against the Reds on Friday afternoon in Game 1 of a doubleheader.
Impact He has enjoyed surprising success against Cincinnati, going 4-0 with a 1.99 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 31.2 innings. Brault has started in six of his seven appearances in 2020 and has pitch five innings just one time, so his pitch efficiency will likely determine his success Friday.
