Gallardo gets the Brewers into the win column

No 0-5 start for the Brewers this year! It only took a two hit shutout by Yovani Gallardo to do it as well. Although the Brewers should have blown out the Braves tonight a win is a win and we don't have to see that big fat zero where our wins should be. And of course it was another gem from Yovani Gallardo.

It's been real fun to watch Gallardo grow as a pitcher. At times he gets to fine and his pitch count is in the 70's after three innings. Other times guys can't touch him and he strikes out every batter. But today was different. He was dominating, but not in the way were used to seeing him. He got quick outs, kept guys off balance getting them to ground out. He got double plays the couple times he needed them. It was impressive to watch, and it was desperately needed.

For as rough as the season was to start this is the kind of win that you really want. A dominating pitching performance. The offense couldn't do much but it did just enough to get the win. Gallardo was at his best and one run, which was him, was all he needed. When you look at what went wrong the first four games you say pitching, defense, and slow offense. Well we looked good on defense, great on pitching and the offense still could use some work but it did just enough.

Another thing to note with Gallardo's shutout is this could be the signs of big things to come. He looked good on opening day and he looked great tonight. We have seen Gallardo win a game by himself before but hopefully this trend of starts he has had so far this year is what we will see the rest of the season.

I really don't know where I'm going with this and I'm pretty tired so I'm going to end this. Just know this, it was amazing seeing Gallardo pitch how he did this night and I hope we get to see a lot more of it this season. The Brewers are finally in the win column and this is a win that can propel a team. Lets hope it does just that.
